Two side screaming and no one hearing, it not a good situation.

Thank you md, I'm not mad at anyone nor am I calling other Americans names for having different perspectives than mine, I am simply pointing out what I see in this country in today's politics. I can see the situation clearly, my head is located on my neck supported by my shoulders, shoulders that at times feel like they must carry the burden of having to thinking people are people and injustice should be fought by the strong capable people of our land. Sadly I see politicians targeting the week as the scapegoat and playing politics. I am more than aware their has been bigotry in this country that pre dates trump, he however has weaponized it and feeds on it. When you say " Trump says what many of us have thought and are thinking." I'm curious about that pronoun "us" and who that is referring to? Will you please describe the demographics of the "us" people, because he is no where close to my ideology and I do consider myself an American.

I don't disagree with anything you just said....

lol, I will only play devils advocate here so please don't feel I am attacking for I understand your perspective. Times are changing and changing fast, that might be one of the biggest problems that's name literally stands for : noun 1. a person who is averse to change and holds to traditional values and attitudes, typically in relation to politics. Survival skill sets have change within or life time and people do what people do best, adapt.

I wish that was the case, I actually believe in only one race and that's humans. You will probably play ignorant to this and I'm not trying to convince anyone but "race" is implied when we talk politics today. The two party system has broken down into whites, far right ideological thinking people of this country vers the all else. If you are a trump supporter the odds are extremely high that person has some subconscious, maybe even conscious bigotry with in them. That's just the way the country is breaking down lately and I say that because of how I feel when I walk around and see what I see. I say I'm liberal because I don't care what you and your partner do when your home alone, let alone anyone else, so I find myself aliened with a liberal group in our country being targeted with hate. I find that I side with conservation of the natural world rather than profit margins. I believe it is societies responsibility to take care of the week and poor, not make them the defenseless enemy of the state and I believe in science over faith. This is why I would call myself a liberal, though I am registered independent, but in all honesty I don't really care. I did once, now it just hard some times to sit idly by why people continue to make emotionally charge statements with out checks and counter points.

“When fascism comes to America, it will not be in brown and black shirts. It will not be with jack-boots. It will be Nike sneakers and Smiley shirts.” – George Carlin There may or may not be atheists in foxholes, but I'm certain there are none in the Ku Klux Klan. George Carlin

Are pictures found on the internet your best source of information or do you mix it up with a little fox news from time to time?

why is that bigwave? you are the only one with the correct answers?

Bigwave, it's hard to know where even to start, I will say that there is SO much more to this issue than the color of ones dermis, it's sad that in such an amazing and intellectual time in the human experience we are talking about skin color. I do wounder though, if you differentiate mass shooting and of those above who was shooting young people at school or random people of easy opportunity and those that where a result of other I illegal activities?

Still getting this quote thing down, am I understanding you to mean you against logic and reason Synopsis? Dr. Spock to be of bad character?

Lol, it very well may be..

Jg1, thank you, that Trump joke attacks an institution that is the back bone of democracy, being an informed population. Instead of attacking it, we as people should be demanding truth!!

It’s scary when we so willingly attack the people that should be bringing us the facts instead of demanding better, now we loss trust and where this is heading is not a good place. When anger does see the light of day, those that stock it’s fire will be sad with the fruits it bears. There is NO power on this earth that could end America’s lock on power but America her self. I realize this will fall on deff ears, I don’t come here for politics but I will say this. I have brown skin, my father Vietnam vet was a black man, my grandfather, mothers dad, a white man (on in the army when Perl Harbor was attack serving in the army), my brother, a marine (golf war), my family lost one our brightest lights in Afghanistan ( 2010, cousin) and I served three tours over the course of 2002 till 2011 and I’m liberal. I also consider myself an American. Not to sure why you hate me so much, I have never met any of you and it feels like we are on two different teams. What give? spread love, keep your hate. Go RV

Why would you be bursting my bubble, I’m extremely grateful for all you do, you help to make this an amazing and informative site.

Sadly, negative attitudes are more contagious than positive ones, is yours worth catching?
