“Sometimes I think half the problem with the Left is that they just assume that everybody agrees with them, because people just don’t want to deal with it.”

Well said. They rarely venture out of their little echo chamber. And when they do, the are in for a shocker. And when confronted with the facts they can be irrational, even violent.

That is the presidential election writ large. Those not voting for Hillary knew they were to witness a leftist tantrum and possible days of slander and job loss if they spoke their choice so they quietly nodded and voted their choice. Ever since then, the left has been irrational, even violent.

>>As you surely know, some putative Christians still support him despite credible charges that he has a history of perverted behavior toward teenage girls.<<

THERE is proof you are the cause, pittstain. There are NO credible charges against Roy Moore — just ginned-up crap that has been 100% unable to withstand a GLANCE much less scrutiny.

The hate comes from the left who have proven they can’t bear to lose what was for sure THEIR election.

They are a bunch of crybabies who have driven the stake into the heart of discourse in the nation.

Look in a mirror, pittstain.

“Trump won! Let’s not celebrate holidays until a Dem is in office again! Waaaahhhhh!!!”
This is part and parcel with the traditional, glamorous New Year’s Eve events canceled last year by the publishing/fashion industry in “honor” of Trump’s victory.

Leonard Pitts Jr has been stirring up maximum hatreds for the last couple of decades.

Is he crowing over how successful he and his fellow travelers have become?

In this nation's universities most anyone not a communist is painted 'fascist' and "white people", men most in particular are regularly demonized for having been born (if a man is born "white' supposedly he's a racist).

Happy Thanksgiving to you too, Mr. Pitts!

Who do not worship God. They worship their failed idols - Hussein and Hillary.

To be honest, with all of the lies from the MSM, I too thought that Hillary had won. We give thanks every day that Trump won because this country would be dramatically different if Hillary were president.

The gradual decline would have picked up pace. There is now hope for the patient however the patient is very sick and the antibiotics are starting to kill off the bugs. But the bugs are very resistant.

30 miles from Seattle. Which direction? I moved from that general area 3 years ago. Living in Lewis Cty, about 23 miles South of Olympia. I love it here, and every single person I have never met before, I talk to about Seahawk football. All say they do not watch anymore, or have tuned out football. Of course this place went over 60% for Trump.

No. I still love my family, my friends and my country.

You can feast on bitter regret if you want. We shall have fun, eat until we (almost) pop and be thankful for all we have. Even if the roof leaks.

No. The hate is from the left, muzzies, and minority groups pushed into hate from the left.

"So, from now on, I will simply say that I do not agree, but do not wish to discuss the matter further."

WARNING!!! They will jump on you like a rabid dog!!! Leftists cannot tolerate ANY dissent.

You've been warned.

“...where many of us will sit in awkward tension and even open rancor with people we love because they are family and friends, yet hate because they are monstrously wrong.”

What a sanctimonious little dweeb. The left is unable to live without rancor. Every bit of faux umbrage, foot stomping, stick-up-the-bum posture is predicated to make everyone as miserable as they are.

At my table, the hue is complex as are the ethnicities. I can guarantee that not one of us thinks the other is monstrously wrong and are certainly entitled to their own opinions and beliefs.

GET OVER YOURSELVES LEFTIES!

I know the communists want us to give up all our Holidays, but we aren’t going to. You don’t have to celebrate the day. Stay home drink your beer, eat a TV dinner and watch CNN.

Oh, I know they will.

And they will dash themselves on the rock of my impeturable, smiling and cheerful nature, as I refuse to engage, over and over again.

When their enthusiasm begins to wane, I will remind them that I still do not agree, and we can start all over again.

It's like your Momma said on a rainy day... sometimes you have to go out and make your own fun.

Mainstream Americans are more upset with liberals. We shouldn’t cancel Thanksgiving because liberals are uncomfortable about what they have brought on themselves.

The progressive left is using thanksgiving as a propaganda tool to divide America.

The progressive left must be destroyed, ground into the ground and then salted. Extermination is needed to assure it will never be able to continue the destruction of America

In any fairly judged competition Pitts would win The Biggest Douche Bag of The Year Award hands down every year. The man is a vicious anti-American turd who frankly does not deserve to live in our country.

credible charges

Only if by "credible" you mean "debunked."

he has a history of perverted behavior toward teenage girls

Define "perverted behavior." Or is that just a phrase that means whatever you want it to mean?

An accused child molester for U.S. Senate? Really?

An accused (serial) rapist, sexual harasser, and adulterer for U.S. president? Really?

An accused philanderer and drunkard for U.S. Senate from Massachusetts? Really?

An admitted homosexual pimp for U.S. House of Representatives from Massachusetts? Really?

An accused serial groper and harasser for U.S. House of Representatives from Michigan? Really?

Shall I go on, or have I banked your selective outrage?

I want to say I told you so. Actually, it wasn't I. The Apostle Paul said these things of a society that is under the Divine Judgment of God:

28 And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper, 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful; 32 and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them. Romans 1:28-32

One other thing: the phrase haters of God in verse 30 is ordinarily translated in every place the Greek word is used in even Classical Greek writings, is tranlated hated by God.

I would say our society has serious problems.
