The left is violent and anti-tolerant

Oh, I suspect I hit the nail squarely on its head.

Poor, poor right wingers. The whole world is out to get them!

MOMMY, MAKE THEM STOP!

 

Are the right wingers marching through the streets crying because they lost the election? No, that's the left. Are the right wingers complaining about every Trump Tweet and statement? No that's the left. Are the right wingers threatening succession because they didn't win the election? No that's the left. Are the right wingers complaining because NPR and Big Bird might lose their jobs? No that's the left. Are the right wingers crying about Trump blocking terrorists from our country? No that's the left.

 

This does not prove violence is a tactic characteristic of the left. There are extreme freaks and criminals on both sides.

 

The left is tolerant. They now tolerate intolerance. Stories are out now of people having to close shop in Chicago and move due to left wing hate.

 

Yeah...the right is too busy feeling sorry for itself...and indulging in the many paranoidal delusions they have.

C'mon. You people can ACT like adults. Acting is not that difficult; just a bit of pretense.

 

You guys gotta learn how to enjoy a win!

It shouldn't be all that hard...even for an American conservative.

 

The right wing won. We aren't feeling sorry for ourselves, we're partying because we control the entire government.
We're shaking our heads at the protest marches of the left who can't accept defeat and is making up Russian conspiracy theories to explain their losses.

Did the Russians also kick you leftist out of the House and Senate and the governorships and state legislators?

Your party is bankrupt. The American people have spoken and kicked you hateful leftist to the curb.

 

If only the people of Germany had the balls to punch Nazi sympathizers in the face early on.

 

Or, as our so-called president likes to say when he spouts some ridiculous crap, "Oh, that's what I heard".

 

Wow the futility and failure of LBJ's Vietnam war has left some of our old warriors bitter and cynical

 

You mean the Nixon war that ended with "Peace with Honor"???
Oh, wait, another GOP lie....

 

More TDS projection. The violent left melts down while whining that the right is melting down.

 

Not a dishonorable one, I think. Yeats observed:

The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity.

 

The left is not known for tolerance.

EXACTLY! You ought to start acting like it.

Read the remarks here...and you will see that a huge number of you "winners" are also whiners...and complaining that you are being picked on.

Both sides talk about the reasons they lost when they lose. Anyone shaking their head about that does not understand the process.

I don't think the Russians influenced the win and loss in any way. I've said that dozens of times. But that is not the important question as far as I am concerned...and as far as any American with a functioning brain is concerned. The real question is: Did the Russians attempt to influence our election?

Are you one of the people with a functioning brain?

I have no party. I am a capital "I" Independent.

The American people have spoken...and given you hateful right wingers all the power of governance.

Gonna be interesting to see what you do with it.

 

The left is violent and intolerant, but at least they have balls. The right is peaceful and tolerant, but they're wimps.

 

Your posts betray you. You're not an independent. You're a democrat through and through.

 

Trump ISN'T "Crazy like a Fox".

Trump is just plain "Crazy".

But, he will always be supported by that hard-core 1/4 of the country (gullible, low-information, tinfoil hats) that actually give credence to ludicrous Alt-Right talking points (that they glean from refreshing RW Fever Swamp sites every 5 seconds).

Then, they have to rush to places like PF and start a thread to see how many similarly-situated RW Fever Swamp adherents that they can lure into the echo chamber.

Just a note to PF's RW Fever Swamp:

Does it ever get tiring constantly flocking to RW echo chamber threads where you are constantly trying to defend the indefensible and feel the need to try to convince rational people that 1+1=3?

Maybe, defending 1+1=3 might score you points in the echo chamber, but it certainly precludes anyone (who rationally believes that 1+1=2) from taking you seriously.

Of course, you are free to enjoy your internet time in your delusional echo chambers.

Regardless of how misguided your political views are, if you have no intent of being taken seriously, it means little to me.

Nothing personal, just saying.

Carry on.

 

What's that have to do with LBJ and the democrat President you served under, at least the republican ENDED it Although I find it odd you would refer to the Vietnam war as the "Nixon War"? Can't say I have had many of the Nam vets I ride with ever makin that claim, maybe just a slip of the memory in your case I'm sure

1964
By the end of 1964, there were approximately 23,000 military personnel in South Vietnam. U.S. casualties for 1964 totaled 1,278

1965
In March Bundy began to urge the use of ground forces—American air operations alone he counseled would not stop Hanoi's aggression against the South. Johnson approved an increase in logistical troops of 18,000 to 20,000, the deployment of two additional Marine battalions and a Marine air squadron, in addition to planning for the deployment of two more divisions—and most importantly a change in mission from defensive to offensive operations; nevertheless, he disobligingly continued to insist that this was not to be publicly represented as a change in existing policy

In June Ambassador Taylor reported that the bombing offensive against North Vietnam had been ineffective, and that the South Vietnamese army was outclassed and in danger of collapse. Gen. Westmoreland shortly thereafter recommended the president further increase ground troops from 82,000 to 175,000. After consulting with his principals, Johnson, desirous of a low profile, chose to announce at a press conference an increase to 125,000 troops, with additional forces to be sent later upon request. In order to mute his announcement, Johnson at the same time announced the nomination of Abe Fortas to the Supreme Court and John Chancellor as director of the Voice of America. Johnson described himself at the time as boxed in by unpalatable choices—between sending Americans to die in Vietnam and giving in to the communists. If he sent additional troops he would be attacked as an interventionist and if he did not he thought he risked being impeached. He continued to insist that his decision "did not imply any change in policy whatsoever". Of his desire to veil the decision, Johnson jested privately, "If you have a mother-in-law with only one eye, and she has it in the center of her forehead, you don't keep her in the living room". By October 1965 there were over 200,000 troops deployed in Vietnam.

1966
By the middle of 1967 nearly 70,000 Americans had been killed or wounded in the war. In July, Johnson sent McNamara, Wheeler and other officials to meet with Westmoreland and reach agreement on plans for the immediate future. At that time the war was being commonly described by the press and others as a "stalemate". Westmoreland said such a description was pure fiction, and that "we are winning slowly but steadily and the pace can excel if we reinforce our successes". Though Westmoreland sought many more, Johnson agreed to an increase of 55,000 troops bringing the total to 525,000. A Gallup poll in July showed 52 percent of the country disapproving of the president's handling of the war and only 34 percent thought progress was being made

1968
Indeed, demoralization about the war was everywhere; 26% then approved of Johnson's handling of Vietnam; 63% disapproved. Johnson agreed to increase the troop level by 22,000, despite a recommendation from the Joint Chiefs for ten times that number,[210] By March 1968 Johnson was secretly desperate for an honorable way out of the war. Clark Clifford, the new Defense Secretary, described the war as "a loser" and proposed to "cut losses and get out".[211] On March 31 Johnson spoke to the nation of "Steps to Limit the War in Vietnam". He then announced an immediate unilateral halt to the bombing of North Vietnam and announced his intention to seek out peace talks anywhere at any time. At the close of his speech he also announced, "I shall not seek, and I will not accept, the nomination of my party for another term as your President

Johnson once summed up his perspective of the Vietnam War as follows:

 

They are also racist. They tried to keep slavery and they started the Klan. Our country would be better off with Conservative principles and all men being free with equal opportunity. The Left does not follow this doctrine at all.

 

No...I am registered as an Independent...and I am an Independent.

But for an American conservative...anyone who does not do as the puppet masters require...is a libeal or a Democrat.

I am neither, but I doubt you have what it takes to understand that.

 

You voted for Hillary. You're no independent.

 

You may have just set a new PF standard for utterly ridiculous and uninformed remarks.

Many lifelong Republicans and others leaning to the right (on the political spectrum) voted for Hillary because they knew that electing an unhinged, mentally unstable, thin-skinned Snowflake (like Trump) would lead to a train wreck for the government of the USA.

And, Trump has proven them right.

Republicans (and other right-leaning Independent) voters who voted for Hillary (given the politically pragmatic reality of the Binary Choice) did it as an act of Patriotism.

The utter clueless simplicity of a remark like "you voted for Hillary, you're no Independent" is beyond ludicrous.

Next time you might want to think longer before you hit submit.

Nothing personal, just a friendly suggestion.

Carry on.

 

Likewise, I'm sure.

 

Notice how some people use Saul Alinsky tactics to attack what they call the Karl Rove playbook. Both methods are essentially from the same socialist handbook. Political parties are too close to one another in ideologies for common man to differentiate between the two in many cases. The left drifts farther left.. and the right drifts farther left.

The U.S. Constitution remains at the origin looking west to the horizon. The left is about to disappear over the cliff and the right is not far behind. Meanwhile, judges appointed by both left and right attempt to dismantle the U.S. Constitution piece by piece.
