First, there are no conservatives or liberals, just as no one religion is better than another.
Second, what we have are deniers vs those less so. Deniers desire your rights, or seek to prevent you from thinking or believing what they want from your life. They do not seek or tell the truth through bullying. Their motivation is creating fear and hatred. It is no different than the movie our kids watched forever, The Dark Crystal. Where the Skeksees(sp) sucked the essence of life from others.
Twenty years ago, plus or minus ~ more plus than minus, when I retired from military service, my wife and I tried to join the local Presbyterian church. We were/are white, always have been, we had gone to church most of our lives. My enlisted career had been as a heired gun and clerk for the Chapain that I served. During my brake from service I met my wife on a Presbyterian backpacking trip. Not the local bar
So, you could say we were died in the wool Christian's. Just under two years after my separation from the service our son died in an ICE car fire at the ripe old age of nineteen. His current girlfriend had been drinking and was driving that night. He had been drinking too and could have stayed back from the road trip. As things were settling and the church was finally allowing us in the door following his death, I decided to start a men's breakfast to discuss religious topics with hopes of communicating with the klan. Apparently one village idiot brought up guns and I said I did not believe in guns
My god, not yours
, you would have thought I got up on the table in front fifteen men, pulled my pants down and laid a fresh pile of dog poo, not human poo, but dog poo right in the middle of the restaurant table and topped off their coffee with pee
Well, our first meeting went from fifteen down to about five in thirty seconds or less. No one, and I mean no one took into account that I had been a rifle instructor at fifteen at the lake arrowhead scout camp. No one knew or cared to know that I had fired more pistol and rifle bullets than 75% of bubb's across america. No one cared that I had fired more missiles or rockets than 99% of bubb's across america. No one, especially the coward that jumped to his feet declaring me a gD liberal. That was proof enough for me that you cannot drive a square peg into a round hole
I gave the group another year or so before walking away and never looking back because I was denied friendship and community. Oh, and probably 100% of those denying cowards never enlisted or served during the Vietnam war like me
I had just been outed as a liberal
So, no there are no lefties or righties, just deniers of science, deniers of the poor, deniers of women, deniers of black rights, deniers gay rights, deniers of any topic you choose, any topic. Just denying liers that cannot face their fear and hatred.
Are you denying there is a problem, or are you denying someone is guilty, or are you denying a debate, or denying . . .
@kort677 the guy driving around town with a sock tied to his truck towing bracket, and inside the sock are two tennis balls is telling me he is denying that he has no balls and is trolling to find one or two for himself
Should I deny him the right to drive. Should I deny him the right to display his cowardice? Should I deny him the right to convey his hatred and distain for who I am? His intent is to threaten me ~ Right?
Is this a debate? Or, denying that anyone will be found guilty? Or, denying the truth that our justice system is hell bent on denying the rights of life. Or, denying. . .
You could deny me the right to my free speech by blocking me, but that would not prevent me from saying my piece with the rest of the folks here. I could deny you the right to free speech by blocking you, but then I would be denying myself a chance to exercise my free speech with you. So, I will just deny that I wrote this for your benefit
