Ok, so...
With all the nutjobs gone, the thread is beautifully peaceful. Just shows what bias was devouring this topic. Racism and conspiracy. Proudly brought top you by Fuckoff News.
PS. Trump blows.
This truly sums up the new left. I mean - in a fucking nutshell. Hear what you are saying. After you insulted everyone with childish name calling and pranks, you pushed out people who are decent and hard working to a place where they can discuss what are often very common-sense thoughts (not all, but many). They were willing to engage you on real discussion, even though they disagreed with you. They did not sink to your low (most, not all). You closed the thread. You changed words. You pushed people away. And then, when nearly everyone you disagree with is gone and you have an empty, soulless thread, you claim peace and insinuate that it must be the crazy people that left that has created this peace. This is not peace. This is silence. This is your bubble. This is what's wrong with politics today. But there were more of them than there are of you. It's called the silent majority. Shut them up when you are near, but they are not quiet.
Also, fuck you very much for saying any of those folks are racist. Find me a racist comment. Find me a racist person in there. I never saw any of that and I read most of the thread. Just because you call someone racist does not mean they are racist. It is your childish inability to listen and process what people who do not agree with you have to say. Trump isn't racist. The governor of Virginia isn't racist. And we aren't racist.
In the end, you pushed people away, even if you hate those people I don't think it was right. As for me, I have been around since the beginning and I lost a tremendous amount of respect for you. Not because we disagree on some things. I suspect we all agree on a lot more than we admit. But because of the way you treated people just because they disagreed with you. And you wielded power just because you could. Also, don't fucking call me a racist because I want lower taxes and an immigration system that is fair and just and lawful and you know, like every other fucking country on earth. You owe all of us an apology, or at least you need to recognize what you did wrong.
Agree.
Sad part is, you might get banned. One thing I've learned over the years, disagree with people who are the gate keepers and they will close you out.
Maybe I came off as more angry than I am. I just hate when people throw the racism word around when there is enough real racism to combat as a team. Calling me a racist is't going to make me think, "Ya know, I think the Government should take more of my money and spend it foolishly." I suppose I could try and go back to the Obama thread and find where all the liberals called Barry out for wanting a wall, or Hillary. But I doubt I'd find anything. But suddenly people saying the same thing are racist. It's so pathetic. So I come off as angry and I'm not really angry, just disappointed and offended. And I have done enough good in my life, and I know others have, that we should not have to endure some of what's been done.
When I wrote what I wrote this morning, I did not know some folks had been banned. So it's even more silly than I thought. I guess all I can say is I don't appreciate it. Wrong is wrong. And I have been proven wrong before in EPIC ways, but I just feel like common sense will prevail. That just requires Andrew to look past all the noise of the new left.
