Americans, Isnt it Time to Bury the Hatchet and Come Together Again?

[WillowTree]

Come together with bigots, Nazi sympathizers and rapist sympathizers? No thanks.

And you people think Democrats are radicals? Lol! Democrats are hardly radicals and they are aren’t aggressive progressives.

You are missing your latest riot. Better hurry!

.why on earth should the Republicans give up a seat on the Court when they control the Senate....

For the same reason the Republicans gave pardons to Confederate veterans after the Civil War....for the sake of reunifying the nation.

Sorry.....you really have no idea about the democrats....that you could post that with the way the democrats have been attacking their political enemies...you need to pause, and look more closely at the democrats...they are the issue...they will do anything to get power.....

The brought forward 3 women who lied.....out right lied about Kavanaugh to destroy him and his family, and they didn't even look back as they did it...because of them he can't teach law, he can't coach kids......they knew these women were lying through their teeth and even hid the first liars allegations for 2 months....

Sorry, you are delusional.......

A little Freudian slip in your lie there, sister?

 

[Carl in Michigan]

Democrats do not understand right from wrong. If it advances their agenda anything is okay.

 

[JimBowie1958]

People like Jim have liberal friends that are nice people. What he does not realize is, the Left has taken over the democrat party. These people are not liberals. They don't believe in free speech, they don't even believe in civility. No, these are brown shirts.

However, liberals still don't understand what has taken over their party, much like they insist that Islam is a religion of peace.

But the open partisanship and control of both sides by polar opposite idelogues are the underlying problem.

The continued partisan warfare is what is helping to keep these extremists in control of their respective parties.

We have Ted Cruzes and 'Stolen Valor' Blumenthal because of the extreme polarization that currently dominates.

And here is the thing; eventually the GOP will stumble and the Democrats will take power again. In a two party system like ours it is bound to happen.

If we dont move back towards the middle, the Dems will be hard core leftists controlled.

That will truly be a disaster.

We simply must restore the middle of our national political debate. Our nations survival depends on it.

The bloody deranged left: A woman resists Capitol security attempts to remove her from the Kavanaugh committee hearing even as she apparently menstruates all over her clothing and chair.

That's a WOMAN?!

What the hell is "wrong" with Ted Cruz? We need 50 more like him in the Senate. I hope he would be one of Trumps SC picks.

You're trying to hard to take Mac's role here.

If you think a legitimate Constitutionalist is comparable to la left wing partisan, than you're not the person I thought you were.

I agree, Jim. Too many folks like Votto are being gulled into believing stereotypical claptrap about the other side. Just like some Democratic nutcases are painting all conservatives as misogynist, racist white nationalists, some Republican nutcases see all liberals as fascist (ironic in the extreme) communist liars working for Satan.

There were a couple hundred protesters outside the Supreme Court last evening while Kavanaugh was being sworn in. CNN and Fox both turned it into a big deal. Fox said it was a mob, CNN saw it as good soldiers storming the battlements.
It was just a couple hundred people. It happens in front of the Supreme Court all the time.

There are two powers feeding this, and they both turn on the same motivator: money.
The political parties milk the conflict for donations -- like the 3 mil collected to support whoever runs against Susan Collins in 2020 -- and the media wants and needs those clicks and viewers and readers. Both need $$ to survive. We can't disassociate ourselves from the media and still know what is happening in the world, and a lot of folks wouldn't abandon their party, but at least we should be aware of what is happening and take the hyperbole with a grain of salt.

 

[2aguy]

OK, it has been demonstrated that the GOP can play hard ball too and push things through despite 100% Democrat opposition and some very questionable tactics.

Lets move on and come back together as Americans, can we?

I am suggesting several things need to happen:

1. lets end the gladiatorial polarizing news/'debate' formats ans try to seriously represent the issues with fair minded adults, not bomb throwing partisan ideologues.

2. Trump has his conservative majority on the court that will probably last decades, how about an olive branch to the Democrats and propose nominating Merick Garland if Bader Ruth Ginsburg retires? It still moves the SCOTUS toward a more conservative composition, but also removes a bone of contention, being the ignored Garland nomination?

3. Trump should announce he will give a pardon to everyone who has been prosecuted or might be prosecuted for any crimes during the 2016 election or related to investigations thereof. This might restore some bipartisan spirit of compromise and congeniality and remove the specter of being prosecuted simply because the other side controls the DOJ and executive branch.


I know alot of Democrats and they are patriots too, just poorly led, and much of that shortfall in their leadership is due to the heightened polarization that has been occurring for the last four decades.

Lets bury the hatchet and return to supporting each other for the common national good shall we?

Here you go...4 points to your 3...

Kavanaugh: What Have We Learned?

2. The Democrats have no ideas, no principles, just tactics.

If you were under the misapprehension that the Dems were acting on principle, they were more than happy to shatter that illusion. Over and over, at every turn, they insisted that their treatment of Brett Kavanaugh was no different than what those evil Republicans did to Merrick Garland.

Even if you agree with that — and in order to make the comparison, you would have to quote a single Republican who ever accused Garland of organizing gang rapes — it's pretty stupid to admit that you're trying to destroy an innocent man's life for nothing more than revenge. The Dems wanted payback, and they didn't care how they got it. They didn't stop for one second to consider the ramifications of what they were doing. They were unmoored by principle and heedless of scruple. Attack, attack, attack.

3. Dems are angry, vindictive, and violent.

Republicans are getting death threats, and now they're even getting ricin in the mail. They're being doxed. Dems are screaming at them in elevators and hounding them whenever they go out in public.

All these intimidation tactics are happening barely a year after a Bernie Bro tried to assassinate Republicans at baseball practice and almost murdered Steve Scalise.

The Democrats cheer on this behavior, and the media makes excuses for it. Brett Kavanaugh's anger at being falsely accused is bad, and his opponents' anger at their inability to prove the accusations is good. It's as simple at that, in their minds.

Your are foolish person. The GOP is not to blame....the democrats turned the corner when ted kennedy, the man who left a woman to die in a car he drove off a bridge, decided to destroy Judge Bork, and they never looked back.....the violence and hate is coming from the democrats, not republicans....if you want peace, tell the democrats to stop acting like violent asshats when they lose an election.

 

[skews13]

Sounds good

But the 24/7 media cycle would never let it happen

You mean AM vomit radio, and Fox News would never let it happen.

Which is kind of ironic considering the fact that for the last 30 years it is them who have made a cottage industry out of dividing the country.

ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN NPR, PBS, the New York Times, the Washington Post, Hollywood........yeah, blame Fox news for the problem...you moron.....and AM radio is AM radio.......you have to actively seek it out....while the leftists in the news and hollywood fill every single broadcast and show with left wing propaganda....

If you want the US to get back together, you're going to need to get rid of partisan politics, which means changing the system to Proportional Representation.

Anything else just won't work.

Getting along is way overrated

In a word, No.

What the Nazi democrats did cannot be forgiven.

Ever.
