And this is the type of discussion I was trying to generate!
Thank you!
Nonsense is in the eye of the beholder. We can only truly understand each other when we can look past these labels and names. I wouldn't go so far as to call this nonsense because it conveys what many people are truly feeling and thinking! Don't you see it happening? We are turning against each other. We are supposed to be defending ourselves from those who do us harm; but we are creating new enemies within our own country. It's turning into gang-warfare; Republicans v. Democrats.
I am one of I-don't-know-how-many who believe the U.S. and the entire WORLD is due for a revolution. But it shouldn't be against each other. We need to figure out a verbal battleground; where instead of people dying, we progress with new ideas. Yes, these ideas can be outright biased (like this flash I posted here), but they're still existing and valid ideas.
Discuss, people. Don't condemn.
