So I'm seeing here a call to step out of complacency, to wake people up to the need for them to advocate for themselves.

Of course Jim you disagree with this:

Originally posted by seer View PostBull crap, they shouldn't be here in the first place, and these are not hallmarks concentration camps. Our border is being overwhelmed. That is not our fault.
The problem is not our ability - it is our will. The result is a situation that is (according to actual ISIS detainees) worse than how they were treated at the hands of ISIS.

Originally posted by seer View PostHow many radical, violent Antifa support the Dems?
Antifa is a reaction group - reacting to facism in the form of Neo-Nazism. I deplore their methods because I don't think violence is the proper response to verbal and physical violence. But there is not even a comparison here. If facism in the U.S., did not exist, Antifa would have no reason for existing. And I have to admit to beginning to share their fears. History has shown us that when facism and nazism get a foot in the door - very bad things happen. The right is picking up more and more of the language of the neo-nazi thugs, and is embracing more and more of their positions. I have some real concerns about where this country is heading.

So I had a thought. I disagree with many of the sentiments expressed from the right when it has to do with social issues. I think we SHOULD be seeing to the needs of those least able to see for themselves, and government has a proper role in providing a last-ditch safety net when society fails to do so. I believe healthcare should be a universal right, and a single payer system is our best interests. I think this is what America should be about.
So do you think it would be a good idea for me to attack anyone who wants small government and fewer government programs as "unamerican" and suggest that, if they don't love the America I want to see happen, they should leave? After all - love it (the way I want it) or leave is the basic message, right?
Or perhaps the message should be, "let's have that debate about what we do and do not want in our America, and find the compromises that we can all live with?

Obviously, she (or anyone) is going to have an opinion about what they should be standing up for.
But I am not seeing what you are layering onto her words in her actual words...That's what

Originally posted by carpedm9587 View PostSo, no. Our nation is a mixture of political philosophies and types. We are largely capitalistic, but use socialistic models for some aspects of our country (highway system, medicare, etc.). As Americans, we tend to take "what works." You may not like some of it, but advocating for policies that work is not "unamerican." It does mean that some of us disagree with you.Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope.
