Who is to blame for the ballfield shooting?

You sure it wasn't Bush or Obama? ;)

Well, given the synergistic dissonance between Bush and Obama, I'd say it has to be a factor. You certainly can't say it's inconsequential. This fellow was 66 years old. The esemplasmistic dynamics of history for a white male that age would certainly support such a conclusion.

I even made up esemplasmistic. I think that has it's roots in S.T. Coleridge. Maybe it's just a root hair, and not a full blown root.

Esemplastic is a word and if there was a -mistic version it would work since it means unifying.
A genius, you are.

It means if the GOP would bow down and kowtow to liberal demands, it wouldn't be necessary to shoot them into compliance.

That's what a vague memory of comparative literature leaves me. Shame. I believe there's another word to describe my mental abilities, and it isn't pretty.

^^ Again, part of the problem. That was in no way what I meant, which of course anyone with a brain would understand.

Reinoe, why is your agenda to drive as much division as possible? What do you gain? Why do you try so hard to live up to what the Left thinks you are? Why motivates you to be such a stereotype?

(Prediction: I will now be insulted, and my questions will be either unanswered, turned around on me in some false equivalency, or will be twisted to be something completely different. Ladies and gentlemen, place your bets.)

C'mon, Reinoe, prove me wrong, I really want to be wrong this time around. Will this be the start of a more thoughtful, respectful, reasonable forum presence from you? It's all up to you, go ahead, what'll it be?

Why don't you clarify what you meant instead of leaving it hanging? Preaching and moralizing isn't going to get you anywhere: in fact liberal lecturing from ivory towers is why there's such hateful rhetoric in the first place. And so far the left is still utilizing amplified hateful misleading information: including yourself btw, when you implied that it's justified to shoot people if they use speech you disagree with.

Of course.

But that is not how the left's MSM played it when Gifford's was shot, did they?

Shall I post links to the 100's of articles written then blaming Republicans?

When you create a fire, don't blame others for getting burned.

Shall I post the scores of posts here at DP blaming liberals for this shooting? BOTH groups of hacks need to shut up.

I implied no such thing, and this clarification was covered in length, if you'd read the thread. Get caught up, and we'll continue.

Me too. Now, how do we make that the new norm, and stigmatize those who would seek to oppose that? Because honestly, it feels like it's the other way around at the moment... :)

I honestly have no idea. I think its going to take another major catastrophe to wake people up. Solar flare, war, whatever.

Here's a suggestion: People could start HERE. How about the new "norm" at DP being that people don't act like partisan hack fools (not saying that either of the two of you have) when something like the shooting happens? I read many of the stupid comments by folks on both sides... and went after folks on both sides for doing it.I may be powerful, but if others joined in instead of feeding it or ignoring it, things could change. The best way to make changes globally is to start small and build.
 
This is correct. Can anyone point to a specific policy of Trump that has drastically changed any liberals life enough to take up arms ? No. The answer lies elsewhere. Ginned up outrage from the 24 hour liberal media absorbed by gullible snowflakes.

The media. Perhaps if they'd quit reporting on what Trump SAYS and more on what he's DONE, they wouldn't be whipping up liberal hatred to a boiling point.

Trump's hardly a "good" president, but I fail to see the catastrophe that liberals moan about. I'd be willing to bet every one of these ultra-hateful, uber-liberals on this site have the exact same lifestyle and personal dealings as they did a year ago. No one is rounding up black people. No one is detaining mass groups of people. Your god-president's Obamacare is still in place. Yet everyone pretends that Satan himself is in the Oval Office, chewing on babies while shooting black people for fun.

How about rolling back government enforcement of civil rights protections?

https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...2fc1b2-39a7-11e7-a058-ddbb23c75d82_story.html

The Trump administration is planning to disband the Labor Department division that has policed discrimination among federal contractors for four decades, according to the White House’s newly proposed budget, part of wider efforts to rein in government programs that promote civil rights.

As outlined in Labor’s fiscal 2018 plan, the move would fold the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, now home to 600 employees, into another government agency in the name of cost-cutting.

The proposal to dismantle the compliance office comes at a time when the Trump administration is reducing the role of the federal government in fighting discrimination and protecting minorities by cutting budgets, dissolving programs and appointing officials unsympathetic to previous practices.

Furthermore, I'd like to know a single policy of Trump's (not a tweet...not a quote...something tangible) that has made a liberal's life so difficult that they have to bitch and whine and moan like an infant that got his candy taken away from him. Seems to me everyone is basically bitching on an "if-come."
