Is It Truly Time to put Party over Country?

Wow if this isn't the biggest shot at Herschel Walker...and you call yourself a Republican

 

Why get snippy with one of the top posters on too hot?
He is one of the few at attempting objectivity and understanding.

 

You aren't a conservative.

 

I’m sorry but I’m confused. Are you making a statement of fact without any evidence to back it up, or are you making a joke? It feels like the latter. I can’t comprehend any business turning away superior talent based on race, gender, national origin, or sexual orientation.

 

As I said, I’m not actually criticizing the speech, but the effects. Therefore, I would argue the effects are the appropriate data for my analysis. That said, I am curious about your disagreement. If you believe the speech was unifying, how do you square that with so many on the right objecting to it so vehemently?

 

I see your point, but it appears the time for patience with the MAGA’s has passed. With everything that has been shown if any Republican voter still supports Trump then either they’re willfully ignorant, or they’re not conservative republicans, they’re MAGA.

 

You’re asking me to prove the other candidates were better by not knowing a thing about the candidates, or if your testimony is even true. I’m not calling you a liar because I don’t have any evidence you are, but I was looking for something a little more evidence driven.

 

It's been my experience that those who claim they lost out on a job because of affirmative action weren't nearly qualified to have the job in the first place. I'm sure there are exceptions, but I've yet to encounter them personally. I'm talking the recent grad who is white losing out to the minority with an advanced degree type of whining from the white guy.

As for conservatives, no, the left doesn't want to mute your ideas. They are welcome in the marketplace. What isn't acceptable? Whining about a stolen election when there is zero evidence of any widespread fraud. Defending racists like Trump did in Charlottesville, defending the abuse of Presidential power by illegally withholding funds to Ukraine until you get dirt on a political rival. Or how about excusing a past President when he's illegally keeping Top Secret docs in an unsecure location, and lying about having them.

There are plenty of Republicans whose ideas I don't necessarily agree with. Mitt Romney and Liz Cheney, for example. But I can at least respect them, because they have respected our Constitutional Democracy, our political norms, and I don't consider them dangerous to the fabric of our society. Trump and his sycophants? They are Nationalistic Fascists, who believe they are entitled to rule, and don't care what happens to those who don't agree with them. That's not what this country is about, nor should be about.

 

Partisan politics makes people worse, not better. Please think for yourself.

 

Nothing snippy about it. This board is not an objective reading of tea leaves, especially when a lot of people admitted that they didn't watch the speech. How can one understand something/comment on it if they didn't see it or read it?

My point being that one shouldn't take too much from this board, that's all.

 

Because the truth hurts some folks and there is NO unifying with MAGAs anyway. Unifying for everyone that doesn't want to tear our system apart.

 

Congrats. You're the exception that proves the rule.

 

You’re not a part of the solution.
Guess which part you are…

 

LOL, that's rich.

 

You should have told them you identify as a Gator. That might have helped your diversify index score.

 

Tell me why.
