How do the liberals think? Do you ignore what Isis has just done? Do you "pretend" they didn't just behead someone once again in France?? How do you do it? I consider myself a very compassionate person and what they are doing bothers me tremendously. Gay rights at bottom of my priority list of importance. People being killed by these Savage's is extremely important as they move into U.S. would like a liberal to explain? For the life of me, I have no idea how you bury your head in the sand? Explain ?

So I have my head in the sand? I think your head is somewhere else. ISIS/ISIL/Islamic State, is a threat to humanity and a perversion of a religion, but I, myself, have no earthly idea how we effectively neutralize or defeat them. In my opinion we cannot afford, financially or in terms of lives, to get into any kind of conventional war with them. Are you willing to risk your grandchildren's lives to bet we can win such a war? Of corse you are not, but since now we can count on an all volunteer army, you are willing to risk other people's grandchildren to do the dirty work, just as most of the warmongering republicans in the Bush administration, as well as the tough guys on this board did in Vietnam. What are YOU willing to do to fight ISIL?
As for Gay marriage, I am not directly affected in any way, though I personally know at least three couples who have taken advantage of the opportunity in their states and seem to be living very productive and positive lives. I am also not affected by AHCA, but know there are many people who have positively benefited, as well as some who have been adversely affected. If the republicans had spent half the energy to fix the problems in the AHCA instead of their Quixotic monumental waste of time, and taxpayers money to defeat it, largely out of their hatred for the President, we probably would have a much better situation than we now have. Remember, the basis of the AHCA was a conservative concept and the final bill had a TON of compromise between parties. Had the democrats had their way we would have a single payer system such as seems to work very well in Canada and Scandanavia, among other places.
