Renounce your holy book and we’ll think about resuming negotiations.

Very good article. In the end, Trump went for a big tent approach - just that it wasn’t the same big tent the GOPe and Dims were after - radical Islamists, welfare recipients, rich white liberals, and homos.

More interesting stuff about the election:

https://www.yahoo.com/news/record-latino-vote-turnout-not-enough-hillary-win-082704479.html

Clinton “lost white middle class and upper middle class women,” and she split the white Independent women with Trump.

In Florida, 52 percent of Cuban-Americans voted for Trump against 47 percent for Clinton, according to exit polls by the group Latino Decision.

Twenty-five percent of third-generation Latinos even support building a wall on the US border with Mexico, and also support Trump’s proposal for a mass deportation of undocumented migrants.

He did not cater to them like rino uniparty libtards do, by weakening his positions.

He said if you want to join us for what we stand for, we welcome you.

That, FRiend, is a profound statement. And I say that as someone who is not white.

Thats how,everyone has been pegged by the uniparty and its propaganda uniparty media.

From all this this election, and just the way these socialists do ‘business’

It is time to no longer accept what I am calling “deliberately offensive assumptions” they use to frame and justify their intolerance of those who do not agree with them.

It is time to call them,out and reject their racist, sexist, bigoted, socialist, liberal,,deliberately offensive assumptions they have about us.

The way you get them.

So,you are saying everyone who does not agree with your views is racist/sexist, etc? No one can disagree with you for any valid reasons about anything? So you’re god and youre always right and anyone who,disagrees ismautomatically doing it for invalid reasons?

And there are no valid reasons one can have to hold a different view than you do about things?

It must be hard being always right about everything. A real burden.

You kind of,get where I am going.

So when they admit people can have legitimate reasons for different views than theirs, then you ask how do they know what reasospns someone has if they havent told you? Are you not merely assuming these people dont agree with you because you assume the worst about them when you dont know thing one about them? You assume the worst so you can ignore them and call,them names like haters and then be intolerant towards them,,and you dont have to believe they might have valid reasons for not agreeing with you. Because it threatens your liberal,safe space worldview.

And then you have them.

Cool! You know, I have read and am critical of Koran and have not nice things to say about Mohammed. At the same time, as a religious person who spent some time in theater in the Middle East, one of my best buddies is Muslim and I just don’t think it would be gentlemanly or civil to demand he “renounce his holy book.” Then again, I am a Jew, not a Christian, so I guess we’re all going to burn.

I support the Democratic Party’s position on abortion, same-sex marriage and climate change.

Not much of a Muslim then...

I don’t understand how one can remain muslim once they experience freedom.
Islam is anti-freedom and requires its adherence to force the rest of us to submit.
This sounds like an intelligent person.
How can she remain muslim?

Well; hate to tell you this slick, but your wrong.
I have never read the Koran, never read the Talmud, never have finished reading the Bible.
I am what most folks would call a Born Again Christian (and yes, I truly believe), all the holy books mentioned above (and all the others I am sure have been written) may have been written with DIVINE INSPIRATION, but they were still written by fallible MEN.
Men aren’t perfect; only GOD is perfect, only GOD can decide if you burn or not.
Not up to me, not up to anybody else, only between you and GOD.

I agree FRiend. The hatred conservative non-Whites get from liberals is of a quantity that far exceeds the usual hate.

Doesn’t stop me though from stating my beliefs - loud & proud. Guess who’s jeering now ;)
