From RM's post on B2, this statement is staggering: "Liberals will restrict our liberty and freedom," - Andie Jan 27, 06:33 21
- Not only that, but they're wilfully blind to what liberals actually think. There's no desire to actually consider things from a liberal perspective - Roger More Jan 27, 06:47 5
  - in their defense - it's more than reciprocated now. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 27, 06:49 4
    - I think a big part of that is fatigue. Personally, I'm tired of trying to think of things from a conservative POV when there's no reciprocation. -- nm - Roger More Jan 27, 06:54 3
      - That's because we apply logic and too many conservatives today do.....whatever the opposite is. -- nm - ty97 Jan 27, 07:11

      - It's like Paul Ryan yesterday responding to a question about Trump's use of executive orders that they decried as illegal under Obama. Ryan - pmb Jan 27, 08:21
  - More simply. - znufrii Jan 27, 06:37 7
    - when did it become popular to NOT care about people. Some of these folks are wearing it like a badge -- nm - Epiphany Jan 27, 06:40 6
      - In fairness, it's not that they don't care, on an individual level, they just want to be able to pick and choose who they care about. -- nm - znufrii Jan 27, 07:28
      - Fox News villified the word "empathy" soon after Obama took office and starting nominating judges. -- nm - mara Jan 27, 07:05

      - That's of a piece with hating non-white people. -- nm - znufrii Jan 27, 07:37

    - yes -- nm - Epiphany Jan 27, 07:52
    - I think that's right. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 27, 06:44
- Here's your problem: you're expecting principles from GOP leadership. - ty97 Jan 27, 06:32
- Since when has the GOP been about principles, in and of themselves, instead of as a means to an end? -- nm - znufrii Jan 27, 06:31 1

  - It's funny because it's true! - ty97 Jan 27, 06:31 2
    - The sad part is I don't want to see them go because they're being replaced with regional planes. -- nm - spamlet Jan 27, 06:36 1
