Liberalism is a mental disorder.

@Harriet03 ha! Let me reiterate...HA!

@GERRI Nobody's perfect. Yes JFK made mistakes, as well as positive accomplishments, but he did not deserve an assasin's bullet.

@badminton Men of your age group seem to have a crush on JFK.

@GERRI Maybe it's the shock and tragedy of JFK's assassination, to be followed by his bother Robert's assassination five years later in 1968 when RFK was running for President. The best hopes for liberal presidential candidates, who would have ended the Vietnam war, were snuffed out.

@Piper changing the arguement because you cant provide a counter point is not helping your case.
But I'll play along.

If that is the case then show your work and provide links for his suppressive speech. If that's true then there should be plenty of examples.

@krf336 I'm not sure you mean by "changing the argument". I do know that I've heard Trump speak of wishing to suppress the speech of media outlets and individuals who write or speak in a way not favorable enough for him.

Providing my work to find those quotes tonight, is not something I can do, so it's okay if you doubt what I know I've heard. I probably would, if I had any inclination to defend the man.

@Piper That's what I thought. That you think defending himself against against the media.
First of all, he has made no attempts to silence anyone in the media, except that self absorbed Jim Acosta, who is rude and obnoxious to the president and other reporters, but kicking him out of the White House is hardly silencing him. The guy refused to follow and kind of decorum.

And if the media was calling me an agent of russia and co.paring me to hitler and stalin and mao and constantly publishing slanderous and untrue reports you can be damn sure I would want to shut them up too.

But again, wanting to and doing it are not the same thing. And do you think there are not millions of americans that want the president to shut up and stay off Twitter?

That's the same thing.

Here are 2 examples of idiots that shouldn't be allowed on the news anymore.

@Abstraction I have several problems with your premise,
-first of all I would like to have seen that same list from fifteen years ago and see where everyone stacked up. May be the same, may be worse but I have nothing to compare it to.

-second the phrase "social justice" is completely asinine. What does that even mean?
Who decides what is just, and what are the criteria?

@krf336 2004, fifteen years ago. Shows how USA has gone backwards from here. Capitalist social democracies still dominate the list. The evidence is there.

If you don't understand social justice, google it. I didn't invent the idea and it isn't complicated.

@GoldenWorm exactly, because they choose to be something that they naturally ARENT.

@krf336 I don't understand essentialist arguments.

Should my sister give up on thyroid hormone? Father on cholesterol drugs? Friend on anti depressants? Burth control fir excedsive bleeding? People take a number of drugs and hormones for life threatening and non threatening reasons.

@GoldenWorm Your mistaking essential with voluntary.

I take thyroid hormones, and anti- depressants and for cholesterol. Those are amazing scientific breakthroughs that absolutely increase quality of life. They weren't available for millions of years and people survived because they are not life threatening (for the most part). And that doesnt mean they shouldn't take them now.

Choosing to become a man or a woman is not a necessary or life threatening decision. It's a personal choice based on what they think would give them a better quality of life or whatever the reasons are. And that's fine, be happy, I accept that.

But they are only essential because a man doesnt produce the same amount of estrogen and woman doesnt produce the same amount of testosterone. They just dont, and taking hormone replacement therapy does not make them a different gender it just increases the amount that they have.

If they were actually changing genders, hormones wouldn't be necessary.

All I am saying is that biology hasn't changed in millions of years and just because we have drugs and surgery that can improve someone quality of life, the biology is the same. Period.

Wow,@Budwick. That was way too easy. Have you seen the light? Stopped drinking that koolaid? Or are you just placating me?

@Carla You're talking nonsense.

Aw now,@Budwick, you understand completely.

@ozgirl512 yes, i always thought, if they weren't so stupid, they might be dangerous... and then we'd have to do something about them. 🙂

@Yulianna sad truth is ignorance breeds... And quicker!
There's a saying I like ..a lie will spread round the world while there truth is still getting it's pants on

@ozgirl512 🙂 scary...

@Abstraction the loudest voices get the most attention. All of the leading candidates on the left have said things similar.

@krf336 No, most liberals don't claim Trump is worse than Hitler, etc. (I'm sure a few extremists do but they aren't the majority.) Most do NOT want to confiscate all guns - they want sensible access laws and control of military style weapons which they think the average person doesn't really need. Perhaps you disagree, but it's not an unreasonable position. It's not confiscating all guns. Have a gun, defend yourself, shoot deer. Don't need a semi-automatic for that in my humble opinion.

I'm a 'liberal' as you call it. I think there are two genders. I accept the climate science because that is what the scientists are saying. You disagree. That's fine. I don't think either of us has a mental disorder because we disagree on a few things. Media on both sides try to wind us up into thinking the other side are idiots by quoting extreme examples. I'm not buying into that.

So do you think I have a mental disorder?

@Abstraction No, I do not.
I painted the term liberal over a wide swath of "liberal" point of views with a very narrow definition.

I should have been more specific to far left extreme "liberal" ideals.

We dont see eye to eye on some issue and dont agree on all science, but that's why we have discussions and freedom of speech.

Thanks for pointing that out and not trying to insult me into submission.

@badminton and god bless America.
I support that, I simply dont get the logic behind some of the far left ideas.

@krf336 You are free to disagree.

@AgapeLove alex Jones is an insane nut bag.
But insults are a great way to score points in an arguement.

Kudos!

@Mindful Socialism will destroy our economy completely, and many of us will starve. Bernie Sanders and AOC are flat out lying to our young people. Remember when AOC and Bernie said global warming was an existentialist threat? Well, now AOC is admitting the truth.

@4meAndyou yep well I’m not voting for her.

@Mindful She probably WILL run when she is old enough. She is already dumb enough...😂

@krf336 thanks. Trump is a habitually dishonest, embarrassingly ignorant, malevolent, spiteful , narcissistic individual but it’s ridiculous to say he’s worse than those 3. As far as I can see it’s only one person who said that though, not ‘they’.

@Discotheque that's just one example. There are dozens of others, from democratic candidates to congressman and college professors. I'll send some more when I catch up on all these replies.

But yes, it's insane

@krf336 no need to send more and I agree it’s silly for anyone to make that claim.

@QuixoticSoul did you watch that clip?
He said trump is worse that hitler, stalin and mao put together.
And yes he is a nutjob.

@krf336 Yeah, I already said he was nuts. And he's very much an outlier and insanely hyperbolic - and nobody anyone takes seriously. And even he was talking about some sort of far-future tally, and not an act of intentional malice.

Vicente Fox, Glenn Beck, etc - none of them said Trump was worse than Hitler. That's not a thing normal people do, even if you think Trump is applying some of Hitler's methodology - generally folks are expected to have a sense of proportion.

@QuixoticSoul Well, I see things slightly different, but thanks for articulating your opinion like an adult not trying to insult me into submission.

@JaggedLittlePill not a big fan of this clown either.

@JaggedLittlePill

@RogueLoner hate, like love, is a very strong word. I dont hate him. I hate what he is doing to all of us.
And yes, we were left with bad choices. So bad that way too many people opted out. I doubt that will happen again. But, im afraid we will still be left with poor choices. But, as i said, i would vote for the donkey to oust this inept clown and his little car full of cohorts.

You and i both,@RogueLoner. Well i dont have to, but i will.
The founders (cant remember which) said if this place implodes, it wont be the fault of the leaders, but the people that put them there. In so many words.
