    I suspect what you mean by 'tolerance' is really affirmation of sodomy from everyone. It will never happen. If gays aren't tolerant of those who disagree with their lifestyle then they are the intolerant ones.

    All true, so why isn't the left mounting a worldwide campaign against this Islamic human rights abuse, as was done against South African Apartheid?

    Under Obama those on food stamps grew by 10,000,000, in about Trump's first year that number declined by over 3,000,000.

    Maybe you didn't understand my post. Please explain IN EXACT DETAIL, how Obama KEPT them on food stamps? Did he have a time machine which allowed him to go back in time and cause the worst recession in 80 years?

    Not much of a choice under Obama's bad economy. The only POTUS to not have even one year of 3% growth.

    Obama took the worst recession in 80 years, which was directly caused by republicans, and completely turned it around. UE was cut in half. The stock market tripled. Obama holds the record for most consecutive months of jobs growth of any US president in history.

    Claiming he had a bad economy is silly, as well as demonstrably false.

    So gay people not tolerating people that want them dead or arrested for simply existing is intolerance on the side of gay people?

    Interesting. So Americans are intolerant of suicide bombers?

    False. Once the Democrats won the house, the economy started to tank and Obama is credited for the worst ever recovery in the post war era. Obama was a mental midget when it came to 2 very important areas in the Presidency: 1) Economics. 2) Foreign Affairs. Couple those together with his disastrous ACA and you have the worst President in American history. Now it sinks even deeper as we find out more about his nefarious wire tapping, illegal unmasking and a cabinet riddled with crime.

    Trump is successful today because he knows a great deal more about business and economics than Obama. He is also smarter. Trump lacks Obama's style and tone which leads people to believe Obama is something he is not. Stare at Obama long enough and look at what he did and you will see the snake emerge.

    And yet you still haven't pointed out where Mathew Rodriguez "calls Trump racist for telling Iran to stop killing and jailing gays" in www.out.com, the actual source, not an opinion blog from a right wing source

    On the contrary, if I encountered a schizophrenic doing his thing, I'd know he was crazy even if I'd never heard of schizophrenia.
    Sure, why would anyone imagine there's anything religious about belief in the Golden Rule?
    Sure it is, to those who haven't got a clue about it.
    So as I suspsected, you have no understanding of America's founding principles.

    demonstrable historical fact.
    because republicans deregulated the financial industry, and killed every single bill attempting to regulate fanny/freddy from 2001-2007.
    absolutely false.
    demonstrably false.
    baseless nonsense.
    the economy has been on the exact same upward trend for 9 years. No economic metrics have changed under trump.
    again, demonstrably false.

    Bingo! Finally someone mentions this. They appear to have done this on their own without consulting him. Which is a real turnabout.

    Virtually all of the American far right does, too.

    You don't seem to realize headlines are constructed by editors? The writers of articles have no say in what the headline is.

    He made sure transgenders may not serve in the army.
    I dunno how you can claim now he is the champion of LGBT.
    ... where the T stands for.... have a guess.

    Um, there was an economic crisis going on so more people needed food stamps. They helped a lot of people who were victimized by neo-liberal "free trade" policies. Honestly, sometimes I can't believe how dumb some of you people are.

    This thread is fantastic.

    You can easily separate the Conservatives who really believe in individual liberty and small government from the Conservatives who are really just anti-tax/anti-regulation advocates in addition to authoritarian religious bigots.

    Hard to have big growth when you are trying to turn around an economy that was trashed by his predecessors. Trump had a huge head start that Obama did not have.

    Belief in the supernatural is more closely aligned to schizophrenia than sexual orientation.

    America was founded as a nation where one could practice or be free of religion.
    Religious belief does not overrule basic human rights.

    The former group you mentioned are actually called "Libertarians".

    Except I highly doubt the Conservatives in this thread also support things Libertarians do like open border, legalization of drugs, etc.

    Haha. You asked me if we are able to establish a morality DIFFERENT than what is defined by religious beliefs, and if so can we just make murder legal. The answer to that is yes.

    In short, keep your religious beliefs out of my government. Thanks!
