Oh you mean this is a thread about the left being human? Or is it your contention that the right is a bastion of tolerance? Or is it that this thread is just the usual partisan circle jerk letting some people clean out the bile backed up in their own pipes?

It is that both sides need to not think and act as if their way is the only way...

That's a pretty small percentage. Though I would agree that SJWs being the loudest and obnoxious make it seem bigger. :)

That is why I said, "Leftists" or "the Left" because that is whom they include.
 
Bodhisattva said:
Nobody defends that... and that means nobody on the right either...

That is kinda the difference between the two.

Some asshole on the Right does that, even the candle lit Nazi march, and only racist murdering scumbags defend it... some asshole on the left does something and pretty much most on the left defend of justify it.

I served with many Marines that loathed the war-hawk right and still do.

And I'll clue you in, Trumps betrayal of the Kurds is the final straw for the majority of US soldiers that I personally know, past and present.

They're sick at heart about that and fed up with Trump crapping all over the Constitution.

He was elected to get us out of foreign wars... and what about what he did today... stopping Turkey?

Heres something to see Bodhisattva, look at how Good4nothing is speaking to me in this thread, things about how I am a failure of the education system or other things (I will admit I was a bit snarky with the red letter comment though)

We, on the left, deal with people like this all the time, who use personal insults in lieu of conversation, starting on the third post even. Mostly, we on the left, just shrug it off and think that many conservatives are just rude low class people, but most of us have pretty thick skin by now.

Some liberals are standing up for themselves and giving it back (and there are some who go too far as well), however, maybe everyone should have some sense of propriety instead?

But also consider the thought that when you have to constantly deal with people like this user, some can come to believe that conservatives are just hateful people in general.

1. The left (such as those Hollywood types) are so intolerant of different viewpoints because they genuinely believe that they have received the truth directly from God.

2. Another more immediate reason: In 2016, they genuinely believed (as did everyone else, including the pollsters) that Ms. Hillary would move into the White House and continue and expand the wonderful and sensational work done by President Obama.


3. When Donald J. Trump won, they literally had a meltdown. Who can blame the poor dears? After all, everyone but everyone knew that Mr. Trump could not win.

a. When he did, the leftists were livid that there were so many people who did not buy into the mantras of the Democratic party. "Unbelievable!" they cried.


4. Now that the deep state has joined with them in fabricating "evidence" for impeachment, the leftists are slowly emerging from their deep depression and starting to smile and laugh again as they dream of seeing (on MSNBC and CNN) the President doing the perp walk. Many leftists such as a certain California Congresswoman want to see him caged like an animal. They want to see his family impoverished. And they want to find an excuse to deport Melania. Oh, yes, they are certainly "liberal," all right!

I included more than just "guilty of felonies". Learn to read, amigo. :lol:

You originally said all Presidents commit felonies. Then you changed your words at the end to include a bunch of other stuff that are not felonies. We're talking about Felonies here. Donald Trump committed several. Obama committed none. Try again.

No. The Democratic Party has those on the Left it it... but the Left also consists of communists, anarchists, etc. and just liberals that may not be in the Party.

You are posting a lie. What I originally said was this:

Pretty much all politicians, including Presidents, commit felonies, have crooked business dealings, commit immoral sexual acts, start or continue foreign wars, etc. Name a President and I bet I can find some horrible thing that they have done...
Click to expand...

And I can find something about Obama too...

So Lying or poor reading comprehension? Which is it?

How intolerant is the Left becoming? We have Ellen being attacked... Kathy G with that Trump head... Whoopi G constantly shrieking about stuff... It seems that their tolerance is becoming more and more intolerant. They are tolerant until you disagree with them

The left is only tolerant of their own ideas and policy positions. They claim anything else than their ideas are always nonstarters.

Wait. What? You don't agree that the Left also consists of communists, anarchists, etc. (socialists)?

it's not just children the right attacks. They attack african-american people who dare to kneel at an nfl game. They make up stories to justify their bigotry such as, "the players hate the flag and military"!.

I don't blame you for trying to project your stark intolerance onto those with whom you disagree. It's the only way the right can live with themselves.

Were you intolerant of Obama withdrawing our troops from Iraq; arguably the lynchpin for the entire growth of ISIS? Were you one of the "Bush lied, people died" chanters back in the day? Now you're a HAWK?
Click to expand...

It was President George W. Bush who signed the Status of Forces agreement in 2008, which planned for all American troops to be out of Iraq by the end of 2011.

"The agreement lays out a framework for the withdrawal of American forces in Iraq — a withdrawal that is possible because of the success of the surge," Bush said in a joint press conference with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al Maliki at the time.

Well, okay the right consists of racists, white nationalists, and terrorists etc. Even Steven then.
 
Could you define Lefties a bit more precisely; what do they say, how do they act, what do they believe, what legislation do they support, what don't they support, what politicians do they support, what do you think they think?

Intolerance is defined by someone simply calling names. So far you have identified yourself as intolerant. If you just want to get your jollies by calling names, say so, I'll leave you alone. If you want a discussion you have to identify exactly what it is that makes the "Left" intolerant. So, what do they say, how do they act, what do they believe, what legislation do they support, what don't they support, what politicians do they support, what do you think they think?

... correct. But since you are expanding ones that overlap, the Left also has racists and terrorists...

Leftists is a pretty common term used today... I am not going to write an essay for you when the groups that I just listed do the job just fine.

Radical on the left... Antifa. And the right has communists? YEah, I don't think so....
