Nice thought but it ain’t going to happen. Toughen your hide. This is the new norm when dealing with Fascist political liberals.

You CAN'T "ratchet down" a rabid pit bull. If they can't kill us one way, they'll try another. You'll please point out when, in the last 20 years, any commie asked for sweet reason, and "reaching across the aisle" when they weren't losing.

We want to race to a far off peak, and the democrats want a bottomless canyon, where no person can EVER be "better" than any other. Absolute, enforced equality, with some pigs better than others.

We can still lose it all if we relax.

Lets hope so. It’s not the new norm for Progressives, Liberals, or Democrats. They’ve always been this bad. What’s new is we have a GOP that is warming up to fighting back.

90% of the vitriol has NOT been coming from “our” side, sorry to say.

And Obama is NOT “a good man”.

I agree. The Left is going to double-down on Trump hate in 2018. They know that all will be lost (for them) if Trump's runaway success in the presidency continues.

The current Iran situation has them on the ropes for 2018 already. If the uprising in Iran is successful, Trump will bask in reflected glory and Obama's legacy will be further tarnished as he was clearly on the side of the mullah's and keeping the people of Iran under the boot of tyranny.

I’d love to “ratchet down” my conversations with liberals, but when I say “You first,” that’s where it ends.

“And Obama is NOT “a good man”.”

Hell, Dorkbama the Muslim eunuch quota “boy” is not even a man.

And no, we’re not going to turn it down. We take what the snowflakes put out, double it, and return it.

Any other response is taking the RINO approach.

Ratchet down? How about up? I like up, being one wanting to fight back.

Never happen.
As in—NEVER!

It’ll get worse—our enemy is fighting for its very survival and CANNOT quit.

So-lock and load, boys and girls.

Understand where the battle lines exist. There are plenty of liberals who love America just like us. But there are no globalists, REPEAT: no globalists love America.

Why? They are globalists. They believe in an evil international aristocracy that would supersede the authority of national government. And they are the children of evil.

We can get along just fine with good American liberals. But we have an enemy, and our enemy is globalism. There is no compromise with these people, none. And they are everywhere in media; they have taken over all of the Democratic party leadership, and some of the Republican party leadership.

Fight globalism! Down with the demonic internationalists!

Dear Bruce, we tried your “nice” for several decades and lost the country to the Communist. Look what we have gained back with just one year of the Trump Way. Let’s have another!

No way, this is what Commies count on, that the conservatives will always turn the other cheek, then next thing you know there’s a boot on your neck.
When did being nice ever get the GOP Congress anywhere?

It is the nicey-nice, smiley-face approach that has allowed things to get as ugly as they have.

Some people don’t like Trump’s Tweets, even if they like his policies.

On the other hand, I love it that he fights back! he says what we all have been thinking for YEARS!

This is the idiot that doesn’t learn from history and is doomed to repeat it. . .by being with the first group marched into the killing fields. THAT’S where this is headed unless we man up and crush the evil, foreign and domestic, that will not rest until it has consumed our freedom and our souls.

The political conflict in Washington, DC is like the conflict between the so-called Palestinians and Israel in the mid-east.

If the Palestinians stand down and disarm there will be peace between the two.

If Israel stands down and disarms there will be slaughter and bloodshed.

If the Fake Media and Never Trumpers stand down and start working for America instead of against America there will be a cessation (or at least a great reduction) of hostilities in Washington, DC.

If President Trump stands down and stops resisting the Fake Media and Never Trumpers there will be slaughter and bloodshed.

It’s like the 1790’s all over again.
