I can certainly understand your feeling that many people are entirely too focused on Trump. However, I also think that the day that we normalize...
To be fair, this describes most political activity these days.
That is a funny story, but I don’t see it as an indictment of right wing media. Just seems to be an example of bias, which infects us all. This...
Intolerance obviously implies judgement as well, so perhaps there is no getting away from it. I used the term pluralism above. Not sure if that...
Exactly. We’re in Tampa, and they are affluent guys, so their community isn’t super Trumpy.
I don’t think I know any black Trump supporters, but ironically some of the white Trump supporters I know are pretty quiet about it for fear of...
Is this a real guy? Basically every single one of the posts from this account is about he’s black and votes Republican. Also, his take on Obama...
I think this is a valid and important question and has yet to receive a satisfactory response in this thread. Of course, I am not sure there is in...
I don’t think race-baiting is a virtue either, so we have two things in common. :)
I doubt we disagree on most things. Even if you think it’s wrong for the state to now recognize gay marriage, you probably agree it’s good that...

Thinking about what should count as moral is interesting. I wasn’t thinking of things like poverty rates as inherently moral. Presumably our...
Again, I’m not arguing that the result has merit. I’m just commenting on your insinuation regarding the motivation for the result.
We can assess changes in moral behavior objectively, if arbitrarily, but there simply is no way to objectively judge a single moral state. It’s...
I don’t know that this is a proper result, but it doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with politics. The 14th amendment was passed 150 years...
Gators: 83 Wolverines: 75 MVG: Clayton SOG: No
I don’t think my posting habits are all that relevant, as it was you that chose to start this thread with a shot at the other side, but I would...
Perhaps so, but whose opinion of the state of their lives is the more relevant, theirs or ours? Even Burke thought the crown was overstepping its...
Slavery certainly came under his gaze as time went on, but I agree his first principle was union. And actually King George doesn’t strike me as a...
Here is Lincoln in 1859: “Old John Brown has just been executed for treason against a state. We cannot object, even though he agreed with us in...
