I don't like Ann Coulter. Never have, never will. She's a mean-spirited hack to my way of thinking. I wouldn't waste my time protesting what she says or writes I wouldn't waste my time protesting what she says or writes. There are more important issues in this world today.
I certainly don't agree with everything Obama has done or even tried to do but there have been some real accomplishments. I'm not thrilled with the latest Iran agreement and my gut feeling is that it will ultimately be changed. At least I hope it will.
I'm not a Hillary fan. As a matter of fact, I can safely I don't like anyone on either side. This election is looking to be a royal disaster.
I do believe in the Black Lives Matter campaign. Some police practices do need to change. People should be. Treated equally. Until they are, police are going to be viewed with distrust and young men are going to needlessly die.
ISIS scares me. Muslims do not. I flinch when I hear anyone spew hatred whether a Fundamentalist, a Neo Nazi, an Islamic extremist and even some of the posters here.
But why all the stereotyping of liberals? Why the constant name calling? Does it really help get your point across? Why insult someone just because they have differing views? Do you really think it makes you or your cause sound better or morally right? I don't get it.

Apparently, you haven't been following the political forum at all. One of the liberal favorites is that vulgar term used to describe all conservatives "tea ******." And there are others. And these are not in response to any conservative poster name calling. So, your indignant attitude doesn't ring true.
"I wouldn't waste my time protesting what she says or writes" So, you weren't one of the protesters at B&N yesterday?
"I do believe in the Black Lives Matter campaign." Then you every bit as naive as has been suggested. Because they are a radical group of malcontents that only serve to cause dissension, lead by paid agitators. Police have a hard enough job as it is, without false accusations of brutality. The protests all stem from defending thugs and criminals that deserve to be put down. The only reason their families care is they know they can extort large amounts of money. Most of them probably were relieved that their family member was out of their hair.
Yes, now that you explained it all in the form of a persecuted victim, I have to agree with the poster that said you were "naive." But, you are not by yourself, look at how many folks voted for Obama, and will probably double down on dumb by voting for Hilary.....if she isn't in jail by then.
