We have posters who will jump on the headline and never ever read the links provided. Two things about the OP...first, the comment "It presents a great guideline for how we should be engaging with one another on this forum - and that goes for both parties, not just one.". This is true....

I get sickened with the generalizations on here..."all liberals" are this or that.....my problem is not with any ideology, but with the man who is President, thus my criticisms are of that person. Condemning groups of people is just horrible.

Secondly, PLEASE NOTE the definition of liberal in the link. It is not aimed at Democrats, progressives, or any of the such. Comments on this thread which is a great thread should keep this in mind.


""The word liberal in this context has nothing to do with today's partisan language, but refers instead to the Latin root, pertaining to liberty. And at the heart of liberty in the Western world has been freedom of speech. From the beginning, people understood that this meant protecting and listening to speech with which you disagreed," Zakaria argued.
That means, he said, not drowning out "the ideas that we find offensive."

To come on this forum and dismiss millions of fellow Americans is, to me the epitome of being totally UN American
