It is becoming impossible to discuss anything on this site anymore.
If you disagree with anything that a progressive/liberal/democrat writes or thinks you are usually labelled a cultist or a Trumpet....they dont argue the value of your thought or idea....they attack you because you are ONE OF THEM
And yes, i am sure some times you are being attacked just as well....
I think it is a microcosm of America....
And something needs to happen to break the mold....the animosity and anger displayed is frightening
And i know we are more enlightened and better informed than the majority of other people.
I think we all care what happens to our country....and yes, we have differing views on how we should do things
I just see this coming to a really bad ending....and even though i love discussing politics, this is no longer fun...no longer educational...
We should be able to discuss differences as adults....but maybe that is just too much to ask now

The Original Post is a, loosely structured, statement of facts identifying the divide regarding the (ideological) direction of the Country, and the desire to enjoy the 1st Amendment Right to peaceably assemble and exercise freedom of speech (as adults).
As a fundamental United States Constitutional issue, the Original Post exploded (9,000 views/830 replies), elevating it to the annual top 20 in less than a week.
By definition, Socialism is a stage of society, transitional between Capitalism and Communism.
The Democratic National Committee (DNC) openly supports Socialist Bernie Sanders.
The US Constitution and Socialism are natural enemies, as can not coexist (ex: 4th Amendment).
As a Patriotic American that has a sworn commitment to "The current Oath of Allegiance of the United States (and Constitution)" , as follows:
"I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God. ",
"enemies" self declared in the text of this thread.
To clarify, as Socialism and 1st Amendment Rights guaranteed by the US Constitution are natural enemies, and can not coexist, one must be eliminated as prescribed by the current Oath of Allegiance of the United States (and Constitution)" , above.
Case in point - The Title and Original Post, above.
As previously stated, Excellent Thread, Thank you.
