How is that an insult?

But you are welcome to start your reporting campaign again.

Well, it looks like we've uncovered the problem, you actually believe your insults are not insults.

Being called cute is not an insult.

Please tell him. I haven't a clue why he'd take offense.

America today has a foreign policy of supporting dictating cruel leaderships....

As a matter of fact, one would have to look hard to find a murderous Leader that America hasnt supported at one time or another (See Sadam or Bin Laden, Tali Ban etc)

Today, we support the Saudi's with their cruel treatment of homosexuals and women.... all for very selfish intent


It was less than 60 yrs ago when Blacks couldnt even vote and were beaten for even trying to go to school with Whites

This problem was solved when Blacks rebelled (peacefully) against the Government, not because of any social conscious.

That's pretty accurate of progressives fmpov. Falsely attributing virtue to idealism, then running straight into hell in pursuit of generally well intentioned ideals. 🤔
Why does being progressive mean I attribute virtue to idealistic fantasy?

I've wondered that about progressives too, because it seems to be generally true.

It just seems weird to me, because liberals and progressives usually push for equality and justice and civil rights. A better tomorrow, etc. This doesn't seem very compatible with a rejection of ideals to me.

We won't make America great again. America was never that great.
-NY Governor

America is great. But why is it great?

America differs from other countries in that it is always moving towards the just, the true, the right.

Other countries had to be forced or pressured into doing the right thing. America has always been able to do so on it's own. No matter what wrong we have done, we, and we alone, have recognized it, attacked it, and corrected it.

It's like America has a built in immune system. Women's rights, racism, bigotry, corruption, equality, child welfare, world policing, have all been corrected by us. Sometimes with great turmoil, but we found the way to a more just society. We are great because we have a great system, baked into our country's DNA.

America's greatness is why the poor, the oppressed, the downtrodden, flock to us. This is why Hawaii, and Korea, Panama, Germany, Laos, and Japan are free and prosperous. A lesser country would have just swallowed them up after defeat.

America's greatness is why the world doesn't speak German today but English, and why there is a state of Israel, why Isis and the Taliban have not murdered everyone in the Middle East, and why a poor farmer in Honduras has a smart phone.

Show me another country with a self-healing immune system.

The governor of NY is a blazing idiot. Some have called for his removal, but I say no, let him stay. He is who New Yorkers deserve.
What do you think of the revolutions and reform movements that happen in other countries? There are a lot. Are they not comparable? Do you think all such instances were somehow forced?

I'd want to know what moose meant. I may have a different understanding than him.
