Liberal are confusing as heell. They scream and protest and riot that "everyone" should have the exact same rights and privileges, yet the second anyone says or does something they don't agree with, they label that person some kind of " - ist". By their thinking, nobody would ever say or do anything counter to the great Liberal agenda unless they were racist or sexist or ageist or some other BS-ist. Why are the same people who should supposedly have the same rights and privileges suddenly labeled? Why can't they simply just disagree? Because Liberals preach talk about acceptance and togetherness, but live hatred and division?
.....
On some points I <hack... cough...> agree with All3 on.
One of the BIGGEST problems is that many educated, urban Americans are not making any attempt to understand - why - a big portion of Americans in other areas feel disaffected by many of the changes that are happening in society. Why - Americans are willing to vote for a Trump (above and beyond simply not voting for Hillary, who was certainly not the best candidate ever). Why - many of Trump's simplistic solutions become believable to them.
These Americans are made to feel that their beliefs and agendas are wrong, yet there is no effort by the "enlightened" educated, urban American to understand - why - they feel like they feel. Yet when the shoe was on the other foot, when inclusion was - not - the norm, young, upwardly mobile liberal Americans fought against being held down by the values of the establishment.
There needs to be societal dialogue. There needs to be exploration of differences.
BTW, All3 - don't think this means I think you are enlightened. I still know you are a cross-burner at heart.
Wow, an actual reasonable and intellectual post on this thread. Just you wait until Mike or Doug come back on and ruin it all!
I won't see DougOut's goose stepping comments because I block his posts. MikeT is outright rejects by a lot of posters, and while I don't agree with everything he says, he does contribute. I won't get into Moy's comments.
