: I'm with you George. Why all the hate. We've lost some locals lately on here because of it.
Wait, wait wait. It is okay for CG to bash the President of the United States but not for some to ask why, to ask that he slow it down a bit, or share a differing opinion? Where is this hate for the President of the United States of America coming from, really?
I guess patriotism is dead, how sad. I been on the corner, near the ex vet clinic and watched three corners around 101 of differing opinion staring at one another, you know the flags of the United States of America, the white clothed and the black clothed. There's no room to openly discuss those very same politics on this forum??? ... just bitterly keep staring at one another.
What about the Minute Cafe in the morning with liberals talking very loud in one corner and conservatives very loud in another? Are their differences of opinion hate?
I can only speak for myself but I don't hate anyone here though I sure hate the spirit of manipulation, intimidation and intentional confusion that would hurt anyone here.
Maybe I'm beginning to get it, it's okay to stare at one another but to share differing opinions and perspectives is hate, right? I've been in too many communities where people could speak openly and passionately differing without any participant being considered spreading hate.
None of the communities I've participated in would believe Glenn Beck was sowing anything but hate. Bandonites have all been pretty nice and I don't see any intentionally sowing hate, especially on this forum.
But that's just my opinion ...
