I tend to think its because our allies had taken advantage of us and taken our presence for granted in many ways. And in order to get back to a mutually beneficial point you have to bring an outside force into the equation. Remember, the second Bush also didnt cowtow ro the extremely liberal agenda that dominates european politics. The administration has not broken ranks with Saudi Arabia Israel or other non-socialistic governments. Face it, a non liberal agenda isnt going to go over well in Europe ESPECIALLY when you start telling them they need to pay their portion in defense.

Be careful Chico, you're quoting CNN. Fake news!

Also here's a shot of Trump from his cabinet meeting:

The political hate in this country has to end. We need to be able to express our difference in views and policy in a way where we listen first, listen second, **think** and respond. Today isn't about left vs right...dem vs rep...but a realization this has to end. Guilt is a two way street on both sides.

Social media and mainstream media has really stoked the flames of this political hate, we need to realize it. We shouldn't support media that has become more of an institution of sowing discord in order to profit. Trying to write narratives that divide the landscape of the country is wrong and simply false...and it a definite contributing factor in this violence.

Even though I may disagree with some folks like mooby and giantone, there is no way I dislike these guys.

And what happened today is not terrorism. this is rhetoric. I say this is a opportunity to say hey, lets step back a second.

Couldnt agree more,I've never seen so much hate about a candidate and Facebook takes it up to a whole new level

I also agree that violence doesn't solve anything, in fact in regards to today it's only going to make things worse. It would be nice if today was used as an opportunity to bridge the gap, but I'm sure people will use it as an opportunity to blame the other side for taking it to the extreme. It should never come to this, hopefully we aren't all lumped in together.

Trump did well yesterday...or are your falling in with the typical "this is Trump's fault" rhetoric from some yesterday on social media?

I think we've seen enough killing from the Alt-left in the last year...Dallas Police shootings, the rampage in California a couple months ago, and yesterday.

I liked your unity speech Chico, but do we really need to sit here and act like all the extremes are on one side? I guess all those racist lone-wolfers don't count because they didn't pile up enough bodies? Every group, doesn't matter which side of the table, will always have a small percentage of people that are extremists. Every religion, every political group. This was an opportunity for people to set aside their political differences to come together for the common good, aka not dying because of their beliefs. I guess it's too late for that shit though. Carry on.

Crazies on both sides, absolutely true. But I think a major misconception should be addressed; liberal moral high ground. Right now I think you see a lot of the progressive movement (2010-now) what you saw in the religious right movement (1986ish-92) in the GOP. A lot of hypocrisy. Simply don't have the time to get into it...but the arrogance is quite frankly, disappointing. I think the intellectual elitism element was effectively crushed by the Trump election..."we can never lose this, we are too smart, how could we lose to Donald Trump? we got this election"...etc. That part of it is dead, intellectual high ground was promptly defeated at that point.


But the moral high ground...has had a strong argument thanks to George Dubwah. But right now you cant claim pacifism but continue to conduct political violence; You cant claim equality, but then restrict people's free speech; etc.


Not saying his act was politically motivated, but the insane piece of garbage in Portland who stabbed the heroes who came to the defense of the Muslims...Another Bernie supporter.





Step back yes...I think the mainstream media should be the first to do so. I also think labeling and language is a big part. Honesty probably the biggest part of doing so (president Trump Im looking at you too). Do we think "fake news" is a term that was born overnight? No...people have been very skeptical since Fox news became a standard for right-leaning journalism. But isn't it ironic how that kinda lead the way and the response from other news sources was to pick a side? So the media and its bias coverage did it to itself. And now there mad at being called out on it? really? Its extremely interesting time we live in.

Perfect example of Bias...what big piece of information is missing in the headline and the body of this article:Threatening letter sent to congressional candidate's home - CNNPolitics.com

Don't look now but guess who is finger pointing?

I agree, but the bar is so damn low. Just keep waiting for him later on to say, "Wasn't the speech I gave amazing? America is united thanks to me."
