Telling someone - even if it's just ONE person - that there is "no room" for their fears or their bigotry in our wonderful Land of Freedom is just as bad as if you said it to a million people.
You just don't get it do you? This so obviously flying over your head. I'm not referring to personal fears that people have whatever they might be. I am making a generalized statement about any country that could be described as "free". So yes, it would apply to millions.
Look, whether you want to come to terms with it or not, freedom and fear do NOT mix! Ben Franklin basically said the same thing when he said people who chose security over freedom deserve neither. I agree 100%.
Trumps wall is a perfect testament... You folks want the wall so you can feel more secure. Apparently you are scared of immigrants. But walls obstruct the freedom of movement, that is just a simple fact. Alternatively, we can have someone like me say screw the wall, let people come in and yes it does take courage to stand up for that freedom, because there is the chance that bad people can come in.
Most people draw a line somewhere between security and freedom. My point is that the line drawn by the right is a LOT closer to the fearful need for security and the line drawn by the left is a LOT closer to the courageous stance for freedom.
I'm sure you HATE what I just said. But that's the way I see it.

I don't see my quote, so I don't know what you are referring to. Apparently you think I'm deflecting - or at least that's what you are trying to claim.

it's about telling someone they don't have the same rights that YOU have. So here's a question for you: Is there room for YOUR fears and bigotries in this land???
That depends... on how free I want the country to be. If I want America to be 100% free then no, there is no room for my fears or my prejudices.

I see both right here as you post things. Narcissists are afraid of being caught as one - It's one of their main symptoms. Narcissists like you are terrified that someone will see through to your true colors! And as a poster on this board, you have shown your bigotry over and over. Also, your fear of being caught - which in your case is akin to your being wrong about something - is another major symptom of a Narcissist...
So you making some really big assumption about me. I don't think I'm any more a narcissist than anyone else. I think I make valid points that piss you off and your only comeback is to attack my character. I also see you doing the same thing to others who you disagree with. 'Don't know what else to tell ya.

And of course you will not believe this...narcissists never do. In fact, if you watch videos from experts talking about people like you, their collective advice is to just stay away from them if you can. And if you cannot (if it's a relative, spouse, co-worker, etc.) the best thing to do is ignore them as much as you can. That's why I haven't responded to any of your posts in quite a while. It's nicer when I don't.
I wouldn't have a problem if you go back to ignoring me... I get pretty tired of your endless insults and baseless character attacks.
