Just your daily reminders:

• Racists are a problem
• White people are not
• Homophobes are a problem
• Straight people are not
• Transphobes are a problem
• Cis people are not
• Sexists are a problem
• Men are not

And most importantly,

• Hating an innocent person solely because of their race, sexuality, or gender makes you a f*cking asshole

What about stuff like this?

Hmmm... not a bad idea... even though I think the question is provocative and should be in the Religious or Political Thread

Yes, definitely at least partly a publicity stunt, which makes it worse.

The original post was in this thread. You supported it, but now it appears you don't think banning all Muslims from a store open to the public is practicing prejudice? You would be okay if it was blacks not allowed inside? Or Christians? And what does brandishing the Confederate battle flag accomplish?

You asked a question and I gave you an answer. Now if you're not satisfied with my answer just transfer this over to the Political or Religious thread, take your boxing gloves with and we fight it out there... OK?

Take your best shot . . ..

Zowie! Ted Cruz called Mitch McConnell a liar in front of the Senate.

“We know now that when the majority leader looks us in the eyes and makes an explicit commitment, that he is willing to say things that he knows are false,” Cruz (Tex.) said. “That has consequences for how this body operates.”

I like Politicians who make waves, who ruffle feathers, who challenge the status quo or his own party. Give em hell Ted! and Donald too!

I like politicians who ruffle feathers a bit, but not short-sighted ruffling just to get attention. I'd rather a politician makes waves by presenting a good idea or a good solution meant to help the people they represent.

Trump says he would "love" Sarah Palin "serving" in his administration. Says she is a "real special person."

Apparently, Trump went on her radio show, The Palin Update, "a radio show airing on Mama Grizzly Radio, a station that offers 24-hour news about Palin and issues related to her . . ."

Hmmmm . . . Palin has a radio show named after her that plays news and issues about her all day and all night. Yup, she's real special.

Doesn't Obama have about 85% of the MSM kissing his a$$ all the time?

What Obama has is class. What he doesn't have is a 24 hour radio station patting himself on the back. In that respect, Trump and Palin share the mistaken thoughts that the universe rotates around that they never make mistakes and never apologize, even when they are absolutely wrong about something or have made up a ridiculous statement about something they know nothing about.

Obama has Class? LOL... if you say so!!!

What has the MSM decided that Palin and Trump must apologize for? When was the last time Obama apologized? Or Hilary? has the MSM asked her to apologize for Benghazi and the e-mails and all that money she got from foreigners?

Lmao, class, that's a good one.

My two cents: You don't have to support someone's politics to respect them as a person, but you should respect a person before supporting their politics.
