Yeah, it is hard for some of you to believe that people can set aside differences in political beliefs and still value, honor, and respect others whose views differ from your own because so few of you seem to embody that in yourselves.

That is why Ellen hanging out with George Bush can be slammed so vehemently and it be so hard for you to believe that a Republican can say something honoring a deceased Democrat.

Many of you have forgotten we are Americans first in your crusades. I hope Gowdy and Ellen and hell Tulsi can start to open your eyes some to your narrow views you hold.


Unbelievably ironic post

Mostly because Republicans have rarely shown the ability to do that.

If you want to feel especially bad, you can check the responses to Gowdy's Twitter post and find a bunch of people telling him they don't trust him any more because Cummings was a terrible person.

As has been explained a million times, its not about what George W Bush believes, its about the war crimes he committed
George Bush has committed no "war crimes" that basically every single president of the United States hasn't also. If you wanna go down this preposterously dumb route, then be consistent and call Obama and etc one.

Like Im curious how far Corrik can take this

If Ellen was being buddy-buddy with, say, Richard Spencer, would that just be a good example in your opinion of people with different political beliefs getting along?

How about David Duke?

Rodrigo Duterte?

Timothy McVeigh?

Where on this scale does it start to become an issue for you?

That is ridiculous. Anyone who has that belief set is just being ridiculous and is basically just anti-government.

If that's your real view then if you like Bernie or whatever you should be hoping they don't win so they won't become a war criminal. It's so outlandish.

Politics are just like religion and etc. Disagreeing on them doesn't mean you can't set them aside to be friends or do things together or at least respect one another.

I am totally okay with Ellen being buddy-buddy with any of them. They are people. They may be murderers, but they are still people. It doesn't mean she supports their beliefs or actions.

I think it's possible for people's political beliefs to inherently reflect one's character and whether or not they are worthy of respect.

Some political differences like which form of tax collection is most optimal or whether money in the budget should be used on infrastructure or education might be able to be set aside, but I don't think that's true of all beliefs.

And it's especially not true when you're discussing the politicians themselves and those beliefs result in actual policies being implemented which have actual effects on the lives of real people.

Uh, Trump treats the migrants the same way he does everyone else. With cold-blooded calculation of what's in DJT's best interests. If those migrants were going to vote for him, you bet there would be a Trump hotel at every border crossing with GOP volunteers ready to register them to vote.

Maybe he would be able to have a nice outting with them if the chances ever came about. He doesn't have to not support our national sovereignty and borders to do so. He has a responsibility to America and it's citizens.

He has a responsibility to America's citizens because he is the President of the United States and the executive branch in the government, which the government is here in order to protect and serve the citizens of the United States.

That is sort of the definition of citizen, no? A republic's government's duty is to its citizens, just like a corporation's directors' duty is to its shareholders.

Because anarchy is ridiculous. I guess you cannot inherently know that cuz that means from birth, but anyone should be able to grasp why anarchy is bad and why laws, governments, and etc are necessary. There is a reason that civilizations across the globe that flourished all developed these same ideas.

Well, the directors of a corporation also maintain the records of who is a shareholder. In both cases, people who disagree with the determination can challenge it in the courts.

Anyway, my view is that as president one is faced with tons of extremely difficult choices with no obvious correct answer, many of which only have bad answers and it's basically impossible for a president not to end up doing some things that are pretty bad, especially in retrospect. That certainly doesn't mean they can't be criticized for those or that they can't fuck up even in that context to a degree that they absolutely should be blamed for it (e.g. Bush with Iraq, or Trump with the Kurds), but I would certainly not say that Obama should be shunned by society.

it is interesting that someone who repeatedly tells us that we're in a bubble is so often surprised to find out what a fair amount on the left believe

like anyone even remotely aware of what the left thinks would know that the primary complaints leveled at Obama from them were foreign policy/drones and the extra judicial nature and casualties with their use and immigration (most deportations, etc.)
