"Every major atrocity in world history has generally been committed by people who were doing what they thought was right"
Voting for afirmative action (for example) is not a "major atrocity". Thus, the statement that "liberal or consrevative, we're all just Americans trying to do what we think is right" is not a completely vapid statement. It puts into perspective our political differences. Your hyperbole attempts to take things back out of perspective.
No one informed me that the topic of the thread had switched from an insane, evil woman who is aiding and assisting atrocity-committing terrorists to affirmative action.
Let's follow your bait-and-switch ploy to its conclusion anyway.
Then we can say that every stupid, destructive policy initiative in American history has generally been perpetrated by people who were doing what they thought was right.
Regardless, people who abandon objective reality for their own personal whims are not morally equivalent to people who do the right thing.
One side is wrong and one side is right and useless platitudes like "we're all just Americans" say nothing and accomplish nothing.
So-called "Americans" who spend all their time and effort tearing down America are not "just Americans" they are enemies of and traitors to America and their offense is not reducible to a matter of taste.
