I just watched some hateful people beat up a man for merely voting for Trump. I'm staying!
There is a problem with this country, it's not just a left problem and it's not just a right problem. It's when people get it so in their heads that their way is the only right way and everyone else is stupid and wrong. These people committing violent acts against people who voted for Trump, these people committing violence against Muslims....they are unequivocally wrong. There is no "maybe, maybe not", when someone goes out and causes physical violence against a person because of a difference....they...are...wrong. This is a chance for Americans to stand together, we have a chance to support a man who many of us don't agree with but who is now President through the voice of the majority. I truly hope he is a better President than he is a man, and I won't lie, I was disappointed in the turn out but if we want America to be better, WE must be better. He is simply a man, but WE are Americans and as such we are America. 2

Agree that this is not a positions based problem. It's a people problem, and people can be violently intolerant of others' views regardless of what views they themselves hold. And sure, it's an opportunity for people to come together, but I don't think there's really much of a chance of that happening. Especially given that Trump didn't actually win the popular vote. I'm not making an argument that he didn't win (he obviously did), but it's something for people to cling to in defense of their hypocritical refusal to accept Trump as the next president. 1

Rather than a simple coincidence, it seems to be a direct relation. Though I wonder what he expects an ideal debate to be, which he is always trying to follow. Abridged from him, "Be genuine and it doesn't matter how terrible your arguments are." So, apparently, it follows directly that vulgarity and insults are an integral part. He probably thinks that he has made an almost impossible challenge for the debaters by saying that. But, the question is, is there any topic to this debate? I don't see one, except someone who says "Explain little things to me without harming my ignorant ego." Now that's an almost impossible challenge. 2

Have you noticed under Obama, we never hear about or see these brutal people being caught and held accountable for their actions, and thereby being a deterent to future violence. Why do you suppose that is? This extremist Democrat party is so afraid of offending their voting block of Black people, they never make an example of what will happen to these racist assaults involving Black on White crime. When its the other way around, Democrats are right their fanning the flames of racism if a white cop kills a Black criminal. It's front page news for weeks causing riots in the streets. This Black racism and brutality against whites and Trump voters will be buried the next day. Democrats are truly dividing this nation all to get elected. To them, everything revolves around politics rather than the safety of Americans. I'M SO GLAD THEY LOST THIS ELECTION! They are acting like traitors to the good of this nation. We live in a time period that is unlike any other time. Open your eyes and see whats behind it all. Its the spirit of the age and that is spirit of antichrist. Globalization and the co-exist one world religion is to empower a one world government over our lives and our souls. God commands us to self govern, even if it costs us everything even our lives. Ruling in goodness, rewarded but not in self-elevating The greatest is the least. We are commanded to direct our own lives, and be captains of our own souls. WhenbHe put man in the garden, He told him to subdue all the earth. Only truth, goodness, mercy, can truely be free. America was listening for God and heard Him in 1776 To co-exist in pollitical correct (in)tolerance is to live in a dark pit of collectivism, like an unmarked grave. American is to live free, and freely shine. Each of us governors of our own souls. Free to live and to influence free from oppression, in sovereignty self-governing under His rule. Against the collectiveness rule of the world collectivism. By His rule individually, in commununity by one squared. Enslaved to collectivism, losing their faces, and their souls. We can see it in both elements of the world order working as if One element. They are going from the base of the pyramid to the top point. They are selling their birthright for a bowl of stew. 2

The real danger here is that such unprovoked acts of physical aggression can escalate into a tit for tat mini civil war. If and when weapons are introduced into the equation then nasty incidents like this one can, and will turn into a nightmare of carnage. In this context it is vital that the demonstrations against the result of a democratic election and isolated assaults on individuals because of their political beliefs are nipped in the bud. If the anarchists and professional political agitators are left to continue with their ''RECREATIONAL RIOTING' and physical assaults unchecked then America will turn into a bloodbath. 1

"Do not lie to one another, since you laid aside the old self with its evil practices, and have put on the new self who is being renewed to a true knowledge according to the image of the One who created him" Colossians 3:9-10 "You shall not steal, nor deal falsely, nor lie to one another..." Leviticus 19:11-12 "There are six things which the LORD hates, Yes, seven which are an abomination to Him: Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood" Proverbs 6:16-17 "Lying lips are abomination to the Lord..." Proverbs 12:22 Your God thinks your an abomination, and so does nearly everyone on this site. You obviously don't care what your god says, otherwise you would keep your word and leave. Now go ahead and do your mental gymnastics to try to justify why it's okay for you to lie. 1

LOL, what a total fool! I changed my mind! Have you ever changed your mind? That's not lying case you were 5 years old. When I saw the hate from people like you, when I said I was leaving, I knew I had to stay because my words were hitting home. Thanks for waking me up. You hate hearing the truth from the other side. You like living in your fake world of so called tolerance and open mindedness. You hate when people like myself shine a light on your deceptions. Thanks for giving me the reason to stay and speak the truth to all those deceptive liars in your Party. Those verses you quoted were good. Try taking them to heart. "LOL, what a total fool!" "...whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire." Matthew 5:22 For someone who claims to be Christian, you sure don't know your Bible or follow the teachings of Christ. "I changed my mind! Have you ever changed your mind? That's not lying case you were 5 years old." Lie: an inaccurate or false statement You said you were leaving. That is an inaccurate or false statement, therefore you are a liar and an abomination to your Lord. You're a piss poor example of a Christian. You're Christian only in name, but your actions are anything but. Although it would be great to never have to see any of your rants again, it's actually good that you're staying because you do such a good job of driving people away from Christianity. So, welcome back and thanks for doing my job for me. 1

If people have clearly conveyed that you can beat someone if you have the power of numbers due to their political inclination, then I guess the issue is resolved enough. They've taken away their right to complain if they are punished. If you're speaking on absolute terms (which I doubt), then it can escalate soon. To a war, probably. But Trump has already demonstrated that he can win even when hated. It is now they who have to rise to equal grounds, or be smashed without any injustice. |
