Well, one thing we've been learning in the last month is that there are consequences for behavior......you get fired or resign if you are a Leftie or perceived to be a Leftie.....on the other side of the political spectrum, you get elected.The only "fake news" is coming from Fox and your Cheeto Jesus.
Yup, that must be why liberal news stations are terminating "newscasters" or giving them extended leaves.
Dear bodecea
And the other side claims the same.
The Clintons and Obamas get a free pass as the star attraction, and get millions if not billions donated to them to get elected.
But if Republicans did what they did, they'd face demands to resign.
Come the day both sides agree to remove all such threats to govt integrity and democratic process, maybe neither side will get away with corruption. Bush got away with all kinds of overreaching that Democrats would have been nailed for.
Why not team up and help both sides strike down every valid objection or abuse of govt power or position? Then we'd only be left with honest people who get approved by BOTH sides. Maybe we'd get somewhere!
Bodecea has not interest in that. She only cares about moving the lefty agenda forward.
No matter who, or how many have to be thrown under the bus.
Dear Correll
I also disagree with bodecea on many things, especially flawed liberal approaches I find defeat and undermine the real goals.
I'm sure we clash 90% of the time or more, and only agree on 1-5% of points here and there.
If I threw bodecea out with the bathwater based on the 90% we disagree on, I would do what you do, and do what you accuse bodecea of doing -- throwing anyone under the bus that doesn't align on liberal agenda.
Instead, I go through the trouble to find the 1-5% where we can agree, and focus on getting the "agenda" pointed THERE. To where people on left AND right can agree that approach is Constitutional and inclusive, so nobody on either side has to throw anyone under the bus, nor compromise their beliefs.
I try to do the same with you, for conservatives and liberals on both sides, and pick apart the million of places we don't agree in order to find the MORE IMPORTANT points and principles we DO align on. Those are more critical because they point to SOLUTIONS not problems.
Of course Correll we are always going to face more variations of problems than solutions. For every right way to solve a problem, there are infinite ways of doing things wrong or making it worse! Always more ways to get a wrong answer where things conflict or disagree. That's why it's easier to throw things out.
It takes a lot more concerted effort to find where we agree on solutions. But that is the real key we need to focus on anyway.
It is going to be a "narrow gate that very few shall find" according to the Biblical explanation. the path of destruction is broad and everyone finds that easily, anyone can find things wrong and use that as a reason to discredit and discard.
If we want people to seek what is right, we have to practice the same, stick to what we find right and true with each situation. And people will do the same for us.
Let me know when you get some positive results from your attempts at being reasonable with these unreasonable people.
