Will we ever be one country again?

[Iceweasel]

I am very concerned about the divisions within this country. The rioting, the looting, the destruction of public and private property, the corruption of our media, the indoctrination of our young people, the Nazi like tactics against those who disagree with you, the suppression of free speech.

Maybe it's time to stop chugging the Trump koolaid mr.Chiken-little and go get some exercise.

...says Mr. Swingandamiss.

The USA is one country with a government of checks and balances.

You and Correll and bear and murica can whine all you want, but your kind of country is not going to happen.

"our kind of country" ? One that follows the constitution, treats everyone equally, rewards hard work, is strong, is honest? that kind of country?

Instead you want a country that thinks transgender is normal, abortion is wonderful, hating the rich is the thing to do, and catering to radicals that want to kill us is what we must do.

You asked the question, "Will we ever be one country again". You just answered your own question. The country will never come together as long people like you are constantly spewing out hatred and venomous accusation against others. Such remarks just create more of the same.

As long as you can't tolerate those that offend you, those with radical ideas, and those that are abnormal, nothing will change. Maybe that's the way you like it, a country divided.

pat attention. I was responding to one of our far left posters who spews hate in very post. Tolerance is one thing, and we should all be tolerant of those who are different from us or believe differently, but the basics of right and wrong never change and are not subject to "opinions". Murdering unborn human beings is not "radical" it is murder. Not sure what you include in "abnormal". Left handedness is abnormal.

When were we ever one Country?
Or.....When were we not?

 

[Tom Horn]

We are at a crossroads, what happens next?

A very brief civil war. So far the left has only shown it can commit acts of violence against property and defenseless white females. One of these riots is going to be answered by our boys and the left will reap the whirlwind.

What's hilarious is that they actually think our Military will side with them if anything goes down.

1776 until about 1980. except for the civil war years.

Over the last 20 or so years, we have become divided by race, sex, age, income, ethnicity, religion, location, political party, et. al.

Does anyone see a way to unite this country? Would we be better off to split the country into two or three nations? Why is it more important for your party to win than your nation?

Watching this is very depressing and I am sure the founders are turning over in their graves over what has become of the USA.

Why must we hate those who worship differently, think differently, live differently? Why do those on the left believe that we must all believe what they believe? (same question for those on the right).

We are at a crossroads, what happens next?

Compromise, a dirty word by both sides is the only way to bring the nation together short of totalitarian rule which of course only suppresses the division.

There is no simple answer but there are a lot of small steps that would eventually have an effect. Just like a third grade teacher, leaders in congress should seat members alphabetically and breakup the clicks. The president should substitute "We" for "I" in all speeches and comments and stop attacking those that attack him because it only escalates the division. Both congress and the administration has to abandon the goal of packing the judiciary with political idealists but rather pick judges to achieve ideological balance and fairness.

The leadership in this country acts like a bunch kids screaming, "he started it". That has to stop. What the previous party in power or president did or did not do is rarely any justification for current actions. Whatever the issue, actions need to stand on their own merit.

There is no point on which compromise is possible.

As long as the two sides share the most basic common golds compromise is possible. Healthy disagreement, and debate leading to compromise is the American way. Without compromise, chaos is the only alternative in a democratic form of government.

We don't share common goals we don't share anything.

You repeat the same old nonsense endlessly, granny prosac.


America is still America.

 

[Dschrute3]

Short of becoming Orwell's 1984, or suffering a massive invasion from a foreign nation, we will never be 'one country' again.

How about you fuck yourself, ya bun-headed troll.

Seems we were pretty divided then too....Even if we started over there would be divisions. It's how humans are

 

[EvilCat Breath]

We have never been as divided, as fractured as we are today. We despise one another.

Q. Will we ever be one country again

A. Not as long as you and others like you continue to hate and fear everyone whose ideas challenge your/their own.

Congratulations, you have just summarized liberals in the present.

You mean like not allowing gays to marry or women to have abortions? No, the neocon right is what is wrong with your country. Until you actually live the ideals you claim to believe in, it will always be that way.

Trump has done many things in a short time. Notice nothing has changed on either of the two lies you made.

Oh, there have been things happening but little that effects most Americans, at least not yet.

Within hours of Trump backing out of TPP, China has made moves to capture the Pacific Rim, where 40% of world trade resides and to assume the lead in globalization. It's baffling that Trump would want to renegotiate NAFTA and just give away the Pacific Rim. He has single-handedly given away an enormous source of leverage over China. The very first rule of negotiating is don't give away something for nothing, and he's done that right off the bat.

He has complete blown his ban on Muslim immigration by his lack of knowledge of the law and an underestimation of the backlash. This blunder has given time for opposition to grow. There are now 15 states legally challenging his orders. Ten former U.S. national security and foreign policy officials, who served under both Republican and Democratic presidents, filed a declaration in the court case arguing the travel ban serves no national security purposes. The list of a half dozen tech companies opposing the ban has now grown to over a hundred, led by such tech giants as Microsoft, Apple, Google, Amazon, and Facebook with a combined worth of over 2.7 trillion dollars. The group has filed a brief as friends of the court condemning Trump's actions.

Trump, thinking Canada would be his ally in his battle against Mexico praised Canada only to find that they are backing away from support for negotiations with Mexico.

As Trump continues the rhetoric, his popularity is falling. Less than 2 weeks into Donald Trump's tenure as President, 40% of voters already want to impeach him. That's up from 35% of the voters who wanted to impeach him a week ago. Only 48% of voters say that they would be opposed to Trump's impeachment. If you think eventual impeachment is pretty far fetched, consider the fact that congress has now got the only thing they wanted from Trump, a supreme court nomination. With Pence leading the country, life for leaders in congress would certainly be a lot more peaceful.

Actually, right and wrong have never been absolute but relative to time and culture, but that's a subject for another thread.

How does one compromise with people who are smashing windows, lighting cars on fire, stopping traffic and attacking other people because of their politics? Where is the compromise, only assault half the people you wanted??????

 

[Syriusly]

Why do those on the left believe that we must all believe what they believe? (same question for those on the right).

Why do you believe any of that?

 

[The Original Tree]

No.

These are the last days of The Republic. Once Liberals destroy the last Sanctuary for real freedom in the world Evil will multiply and overwhelm all that is good in the world until they usher in judgment day.

 

[Wry Catcher]

We have never been as divided, as fractured as we are today. We despise one another.

Well, you seem to have bought the hate and fear rhetoric given your posts. We are divided, and that began with the Gingrich and Delay's goal of an on going Republican Majority.

Well they got their wish, and now the Republicans have the reins. So, answer this question if you will:

Has Donald J. Trump given you the confidence that he is fit to be President of the United States?

Yes or No

You know quite well, I'm writing about political compromise among political leaders in Washington not rioters in the streets. That diversion won't work.
