You seriously need to get out more....

"Us Vs. Them" mentalities have been the cause of many wars throughout history.

Your point being....

When you want your religion and your ideologies to run everything, then yes, you DO have something in common with them.

Reason and compromising have actually prevented wars and genocides.

No, diplomacy and reason will ALWAYS win the day, no matter what. It NEVER has to turn to bloodshed.

The Founding Fathers were Deists.

If you're trying to insult me, you're not doing a good job of it.

Doctrine like "Us Vs. Them" has facilitated the rise of organizations like the Nazi Party and the KKK.

Then why are you using the "Us Vs. Them" mentality?

You literally said "It IS 'us vs. them'"

What are you even talking about?

Your point being?

The point was really not that hard to figure out either.

It's more prevalent on the Right than on the Left.

Speaking from the center, and as a former leftie, I say they're essentially equal - except intensified on the left. True, McCain and Palin ran a pretty nasty campaign, but your "side" has long since more than made up for it.

I never saw Republicans threaten to abandon their country outright and move to Canada if Obama was elected (and then lie that they were ever going to do it; I personally know two people who did this).

I never saw Republicans enact a decapitation of Obama on tv.

I never saw Republicans go out in mobs stopping traffic, looting stores, and setting cars on fire just because their participation-trophied pansy pussy asses lost.

I never saw Republicans threaten to take a treasured constitutional liberty from the bill of rights and then slander the other side as evil when the other side rightly called bullsh*t on the comically false pretexts of the constitional violation.

I never saw Republicans manufacture the most stretched, bullsh*t excuses for impeachment just because they didn't win.

And don't get me started on issues of substance like the Clinton foundation, this is just the polarization stuff.

Ymmv, it always does, - but this is how it looks from the center (former consistent voter for Democrats), and why you maybe shouldn't bet too heavy on whatever quasi-socialist joker the Dems finally nominate. Just sayin'.

I'm not really on any side, really.

Well Republicans DID riot when Obama won.

Like I said, I'm not really on any side.

People like to equate the two, but protests and riots are not the same thing. I believe my points stand.

My point stands too.

Your point being....

C'mon, not rocket science. One side protests peacefully. The other deliberately obstructs traffic, torches cars, and loots. Only a moron could equate those two.

I can explain it. I can't understand it for you.

Uh, no, one method isn't confined to one side.

The lefties did the post-election rioting and torching.

The right did not.

I guess you're clearly a believer in "alternate facts." Closes that one.

No, the right rioted.

What's that suppose to mean?

Sad but true
