Donald Trump criticizes family of slain Muslim Solider


Quote:You must be a Political Science major.

 

Republicans have gone so far to the right?  What about Democrats going so far to the left?  Regarding the first part in bold, the Democrat party alienates a vast majority of people with conservative principles.  It's not about demographics, it's about morals and values.

 

Regarding the second part in bold, that's how the left continues to brainwash the minions.  Conservatives are "bigots" and "loons"?  Show where conservatism == bigot.  For your information, I happen to be a minority (since race seems to be such an issue with liberals).  I'm a conservative, explain why I'm a "loon".  Again for your information, I'm involved not only with educating our young military members, but I also happen to be involved with developing many open source projects (both software and hardware).

 

Regarding the third part in bold, is that not a racist statement?  I happen to be a "minority" that is conservative.  I by no means have a "normal white men and women family".  I'm conservative for a lot of reasons which I won't go into right now.  However, I live in "the South", I drive a pickup truck, I have a bass boat and I listen to country music.  What exactly are you going to classify me as?
An by "going so far to the left" you're referring to what exactly? In what way have they gone "so far to the left"? In terms of social issues? In that case sure (not that I care about that particular trend other than the fact some want to censor what conservatives have to say on the matter). In what other ways have they moved to the left, because they've progressively moved further to the right on economic and foreign policy ever since Bill Clinton. Are you using Clinton's new platform as justification? Because I assure you she is not sticking to one thing she said, and as of right now, the actual positions of the party are center right. Unless you're trying to argue there should absolutely be no form of government help and arguing for any type of social programs makes you a far leftist loony? In which case, your perception of what's far left is very skewed in modern terms, and I can only lol.

 

Anyway, did I say conservatives in general are bigots and loons? No, I said Republicans carrying the banner of conservatism give younger generations the impression they are bigots and loons that preach an ideology that seems to only benefit one demographic in the country. #NotAll.

 

You took what I said the wrong way. I am not saying conservatism in general preaches bigotry and lunacy, I'm saying a lot of it comes off that way with the way conservatives portray it. For instance, in the case of trans men being able to use public bathrooms, there was an ad ran where an ex-baseball star called these people "troubled men" who were "dangerous". Obviously this would be offensive to trans men and come of as bigoted to a younger generation who is more accepting and used to seeing trans people and don't necessarily see them as "troubled" or "dangerous" simply because they identify as a different gender. To the guy who believes it's wrong, he is just espousing his conservative beliefs that the traditional sense of manhood and the sanctity between man and woman is right, and the whole issue might just boil down to him not wanting men in the restrooms with their daughters, which I agree with. However, that doesn't change the fact the way the message is phrased, how it comes across, and ultimately just the very basis of it, is indeed bigoted and trannies and SJWs will take it as such, regardless of whether the guy is right or not. Here in lies the problem of modern day conservatism and the Republican party. Democrats don't have to do anything to circumvent laws to get into power. Republicans are running entire demographics of minorities and young people away from the party just from the simple moral basis behind the party's stances. Hell, a lot of black people agree more with Republicans on certain social issues than Democrats, but they are scared off by the elements in the party that push agendas that would negatively effect the black community. This is not an opinion, it is just the way it is. The left does not have to "brainwash" (and PSA the left says the same things about the right, go figure). America is much more of a libertarian state than a "traditional conservative" one when it comes to social/cultural rights.

 

And yes, I'm a political science major, what of it? lolnumbers amirite?

Laws go unenforced purposefully, end-running the constitution by executive order, and appointing judges to the Supreme Court that defy Constitutional law.

 

How typically glib of those that blindly defend the left and their religious pursuit of political power.
I don't even know what the hell you're talking about, you're just speaking in vague platitudes.
