    Because it comes across loopier than Glenn Beck's Ritalin-fueled blackboard scribbles.

    Only in your mind and the like-minded. I get it though, people react in odd ways when confronted with uncomfortable truths. It's hard to accept, there's an impulse to reject anything which challenges one's perspective, especially when it implies that one may be part of the problem.

    Take care.

    I could - and emphatically do - say the exact same to you.

    You're saying that criticizing any "group" of people is what makes them terrorists?

    I think many sensible people wonder why Trump, who is so critical of everyone, won't criticize white supremacists in the same way.

    Do Trump supporters have any idea why he doesn't?

    You have to remember that net neutrality isn't about making the net neutrality as to pricing it's about giving the government control of it.

    NO we are saying that if you push people far enough hard enough and long enough they will eventually find it in their favor to push back. That's what happened to the former McCain ally out of Georgia. He had a real come to Jesus moment during the Kavanaugh hearings and has actually begun to show the beginnings of a spine.

    Isn't that the same thing? Push people, criticize people....they grow a "spine" and "snap"? Like 9/11.

    Only if you think fighting back in nonviolent ways such as the Nunez law suit is evil. Voting for Trump was fighting back...There are an enormous number of ways to fight back that don't involve mass murder...

    But apparently what is being said here is that it is the criticism of "white" people that drives white supremacy and these sorts of mass murders.

    On the subject of Trump, why do you suppose he is so over the top with criticism of some "groups" but not white supremacist groups?

    Seems weird. Seems like his supporters wouldn't be happy with him being so weak, especially with violent terrorists like that. I thought his deal was being strong.

    As the incompetence, corruption, and wrongheaded policies of this admin continue to reveal themselves it makes Trumpers look more and more ridiculous trying to make the argument you're making.

    Your opinion of his policies disagree with mine. We spent two decades doing in essence the same damn crap. It was long past time to do something different.

    Again sir the violent left wing loon out of NZ wasn't caused by Trump. And bear in mind all those people Trump has attacked have one thing in common they attacked him first and that his responded have been delivered in kind.

    Do you somehow imagine anyone believes it when you refer to the white nationalist as a left winger?

    Lot's O' bigot's in your posts recently. No success with the usual go-to word "racist"?

    I think anyone who thinks that the the government of China is any way progressive or liberal is utterly clueless about what either of those words mean.

    Garyd has a track record of factually challenged posts. I think I need to consider adding him to my ignore list.
