RINO is the term for that rare Republican who puts country above party.
Right wing = lie, lie, and lie some more.
"When I am president I'm going to be working for you. I'm not going to have time to play golf" Donald J. Trump, world class snake oil salesman and compulsive golfer August 2016
The definition of "racist" as "anyone who is white" is itself racist.

Hello Nordberg,
This woman is trying to impose her religion upon others. That is not respectful. If she had respect for others, she would allow others to have different religions or no religion at all. She needs to understand that there are limits to her freedom of religion. Her religion is her religion, not that of others. She needs to recognize that there must be boundaries, that her religion ends where it begins to involve others who do not wish it.
Nobody forced her to believe what she does. She needs to understand it is unreasonable for her to force others to believe what they do not. She is not respecting others' right of freedom of religion. People need to be free to believe whatever they wish of their own free will, without having it forced.
She is free to advocate for what she believes in, but she has no right to expect it from others.
This does not give others any right to mock her. That would be a case of two wrongs not making a right. Mocking her is disrespectful, regardless of her lack of understanding. There is no respectful mocking.

Hello Bourbon,
This is not helpful. You are treating the entire opposing side the same way the worst of the opposition behaves.
The people who are trying to be respectful do not deserve this.
All this does is fan the flames of polarization.
Making America dysfunctional again.
This is exactly what Putin wants.
This plays right into Putin's hand.
Putin thanks you for doing his dirty work.
You have hurt the United States of America.
You are flipping off Americans.
Putin doesn't have to do it. He's got you.
I want you to think about this.
You've got a great mind. You don't have to do this.
Argue the issues. You do a good job when you argue the issues.
Don't go low.
It is better to stay high.
Stay high all the time and you will feel better.

Hello NiftyNiblick,
Count me out of your stereotyping.
I know there are good people who support Trump. I know them in every day life. I have neighbors, friends, relatives who support Trump for whatever reason. Good people. They simply see things differently. Mostly I believe they are more opposed to Hillary than supportive of Trump. But they have no place to go. Either they support Trump or they appear to help liberals, something they feel is wrong. Deep seated beliefs guide them to make these decisions. It doesn't mean they are bad. Anybody can make a mistake. I believe it is a mistake but they don't see it. That doesn't make them bad. It is their right to believe as they wish. That gives me no right to disrespect them. So count me out of your stereotyping. Count me as standing up for what is right. I have my own beliefs. I also have strong morals. I love my neighbors. I love my fellow countrymen. That love is not predicated on their beliefs. I love my enemies. It is the logical thing to do. I am an atheist, but I express more of the spirit of Christianity than many Christians do.
It is logical to love your fellow humans because without them you are nothing.
We need each other. It is illogical to fail to recognize that.
Humans have what we have because we work together to create it. Humans are social animals. If we love ourselves, we must love society.
I love all of humanity, even the man nasty mixed up ones who must be loved at a distance.
I have faith in humanity to progress. Sure there are gains and losses in that progression. I view Trump and all he stands for as a loss. Obama was a gain. It's all relative. Over the course of history humanity advances. My faith is strong. Nobody tells you these kinds of things so I had to invent my own faith. Love is the way. John Lennon was right.
You may say I am a dreamer; but I am not the only one.
