Because I don't want to be the salmon swimming upstream. If everyone is going to sing Kumbaya and exchange baking recipes and forget what the last 4 years have brought out in this, and other forums, I don't want to be the sole point of conflict. I will do my best to ignore, but no way am I forgiving or forgetting what the left has done and is doing to the country. Every Democratic voter is complicit in it.

I know my view will not be popular among some posters here, but here goes: The problem isn't a lack of "unity", it is that for the most part, conservatives want to be left alone to live their lives, and liberals want to throw the problems of other individuals in the faces of everyone else all the time. A few of the neighborhood liberals have told me this directly, and expressed that I am an asshole because I don't care that some person in another state is having trouble with their sexual identity; that it is a major "social issue", and it is incumbent on me to stand up for people like that. I just don't see it that way.
I really don't care that they feel that way about me, they are in their 20s, don't have degrees or full-time jobs, and still live with Mommy and Daddy (sure is easy to have time to get all wound up about social issues when you don't have to support yourself, or others), but when Liberals talk about "unity", what they really mean is they want to "reprogram" folks like me to think like these folks who consider me an asshole. That's just not going to work. |

Unfortunately it is their turn, the ball is in their court
It will all work out, might just not be for another 4 years though If anything else, maybe he will get the deficit down so we will have money to spend on fixing his F-ups. Leaving the forum? Just take a 2 minute, deep breath and come back swinging!

I'm one person. My actions, thoughts, opinions on unity are inconsequential and are strictly my own. If I'm the Lone Ranger, then we'll be fine. If the Dems want unity, their actions, not their words, will bring it. Their version of unity is destruction and removal of anyone that disagrees. That's North Korean unity. We'll all be expected to cry or laugh on cue and when told to.

Reasonable.

"90% of my political position can be summed up with the following three statements: 1. Leave me alone. 2. Don't hit other people. 3. Don't take things that aren't yours. And somehow, in this day and age, I am now considered "far right"." A guy who "overheard" the comment (nothing like minding one's own business is there now?) more or less flipped out on me, telling me how "stupid" I was, and that I was "making a mockery of important social issues". |

He and I are different people, and have different views. This does not change my disagreement with your statement that Aero is part of the problem. Whether I react to people accosting me in my face cordially, or by responding in kind by spitting bile back at them, does not change the FACT that the problem starts with people who seem to think that it is A-OK to throw a bunch of hate in a stranger's face simply because said stranger apparently has a different political viewpoint.
You can blame the immature children who conduct themselves in this manner if you want, but the real blame belongs to the "leaders" of the liberal/progressive movement who have been calling for violence against conservatives for years. See comments by Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters and others. See how the liberals have condoned EXTREME violence and massive destruction of property. I'm not the problem here, they are. The morons getting up in my face are just "useful idiots" of the leftist agenda. They are part of the problem, but reacting to them is talking to the feet. Always talk to the head. |

Unity is really the wrong term to be throwing around. What is needed is compromise. No one gets everything they want, but everyone gets something. That’s where we need to get back to.
