Elizabeth Warren Commemorates ‘Indigenous Peoples’ Day’

No

 

Well that was my question. What Trump supporters are you referring to? What you see on tv?

 

So much for liberal tolerance.

 

What are you on about? Did you put emphasis on a random part of the post for any reason in particular?

 

How tolerant of you....lol

 

Ah, you beat me to it. I was reading in order, saw that post and essentially posted the same reply.

 

Should our history all be viewed through the prism of today or when it occurred?

Do you think there would be a better, freer, more economically and socially successful country here had the Europeans, after Columbus's discovery and return to report it, never come here?

 

I am not a liberal.
And I have never said I was tolerant.

 

lol ok

 

It should be viewed through the prism of fact.
If new facts present themselves they should be taken into account.

I have no way of knowing that.
Likely not but who can prognosticate that?

 

Should people have been tolerant of slavery?
Tolerance has it’s place until it is used to condone or praise harm to another.

 

I was laughing at your first part. I know you aren't claiming to be tolerant given your posts.

 

Semantics. None of us really know the fine details of the event/s 'honoured'.

 

What 'harm' comes from a statue or a day off? And when I say harm, I mean harm as in slavery, or violence.

 

Obviously. Because nowhere have I claimed to be seeking power. I'm a coalfacer, not a director.

 

Show me a single active poster here that is tolerant.

 

Who's talking about other active poster's here? Re-read my post- I was laughing at your FIRST part of the comment.

 

We already have to many BS holidays, I don't think we should have one in celebration of a rapist murderer that didn't even do what he is celebrated for.

 

Jinx.

 

Isn't that the problem though? You deciding what "we" should and shouldn't have?

 

Oh, that you don’t believe I am not a liberal?

I am more conservative in many areas than the majority of self professed conservatives here are — and seeing that I have voted for more republicans than democrats in the past I would be a pretty bad liberal if I was one.

But you can label me however you like, doesn't phase me in the slightest.

 

I wasn’t aware my opinion had any bearing on the holiday’s status.

Or are you saying I shouldn’t have an opinion?

 

I agree on the holidays thing. But that doesn't have any bearing on the expunging of history.

 

You are free to have an intolerant opinion-its just not something that works out in real life too well.

 

It’s worked for every single form of societal change the world has seen.

So, I disagree.
