got kicked off freeper site
for posting asking how we can stop the polarization of this country and pray tell..is there a way we can all unite.

Wow..the hateful retorts. Light bulb moment of seeing the hatred there.

They have a mind set that I can't even fathom..

Only half way positive retort was that Jesus could unite us all.

4. the polarization is what keeps some in power, others in cash.
You don't make any money of sharin' the love. You make the money off of dishing out the hate in big heaping, steaming, smelly bowls full. That's how the right wing whips their little fundegelicals into a righteous froth. Hate, hate, hate. Ooops, almost forgot. You gotta add FEAR to the mix. Hate and fear.

5. Well at least you went out trying to foster cooperation and agreement. . .
and didn't add to the hate. Good for you.

The pendulum will swing again. This we know. It won't move everyone (never does) but it'll move enough. What matters is how we conduct ourselves. . . and ultimately, it will matter most to us.

7. I've noticed a big upswing of RW hate this summer
The setbacks are driving them nuts. The numbers drop and the remaining ones expand their hate to fill the vacuum.

9. I have a 3-point plan for this
1. declaring religious fundamentalism tantamount to terrorism
2. declaring the Republican Party a terrorist organization
3. imprisoning the criminals under points 1 and 2.

10. Did they say "Clean up on Aisle 6". They hate the truth. Messes
with their delusions.

12. Oh yes - like all the freeper sites - it is all about teaching members
how to loose their compassion & empathy. All about teaching others how to hate anyone not exactly like them. The GOP coalition cannot survive people feeling responsible or brotherhood with anyone less fortunate than themselves.

They teach narcissism and adolescence. Yes - I've seen it on two occasions and it is very, very sad.
