It is a mistake to think that your side has a monopoly on virtue and those with whom you disagree are not. My way or the highway thinking is, at it's heart, tyrannical.

Do you believe in moral absolutes? They exist, no matter what you believe. Was Hitler evil? Or was he simply misunderstood? Like I said. One side gets it. The other doesn't.

Unbelievable. You put me on your ignore list, but think you can post on my threads. That's pretty inconsistent.

And you think liberals don't know that Hitler was evil? Time to get a reality check. But I doubt you will. It's just easier to demonize those with whom one disagrees as it involves no thinking at all.

What about the topic of the thread....that holding contradictory views in one's head leads to a more nuanced and accurate explanation of what one sees than just using one set of parameters?

First of all, you are not on my ignore list. You haven't been for several weeks. Second. You completely dodged the question. Do you believe in moral absolutes? Answer the question.

I don't respond to demands. But since you asked so nicely....of course I hold moral absolutes. Can't live without them.

In that case, why can't you see how corrupt and evil Hillary is? Granted, Trump is no Saint. But Hillary? She is a perfect example of everything that's wrong with America.
And your allegation that I'm a non thinker is typical liberal BS. I've thought about this a lot. I don't like Trump. But there is no way I can vote for that BITCH!! Anyone who votes for her is a traitor, or just plain stupid.

Funny isn't it? You get upset that someone says you aren't thinking, but feel quite justified in calling others traitors or stupid. No double standard there.
And still haven't touched at all on the topic of the thread. Why not respond to what I actually wrote?

I did respond. You dismissed it out of hand. Typical Liberal BS.

I think you completely made his point.....so, when Hillary Clinton is our next President , what you're saying is that , more than half the Country are traitors or stupid..?...lol....maybe they just don't agree with you...isn't that even possible ?

I think that happens on a daily basis at the lower levels of government like cities and counties. On those levels it's hard to talk about the other side as evil or uninformed because those folks with whom one disagrees are often neighbors one likes and live near. In my city it's hard to tell Republicans from Democrats because they do have to work out the issues confronting constituents and it's not so much about theory as what is practical.

Unfortunately when you have State Reps that block things truly needed by his constituents, then there must be a way to knock some common sense into the Rep. I guess things will never change.

Really? Are you so moved that you have to get bad mouthed. I thought this was a place where we could share our thoughts like normal human beings.....here you come to wreck what was a great discussion. Come back when you can behave, thank you.

Thank you....I thought what I posted was pretty non-partisan, and just a thought about our political discourse in general.
