    On Not Unifying the Country

    Speaks for itself

    In Homer’s epic Iliad, the Greek hero Achilles finally kills his hated archenemy, the often trash-talking Trojan warrior, Hector. After Hector dies, once frightened but now gloating Greek soldiers…

    Cherry picking quotes from the internet to rally opposition to the new administration. God forbid people wait longer than 4 days to find reasons to start arguing. Yes, speaks for itself.

      Tulsi Gabbard views the proposed act as 'targeting half of the country'. Unity.

        then show us some posts of unity, and examples of how the new admin is practicing it


        and were any of those 'cherry picked' quotes taken out of context or wrong?

            Too funny, how many to you want me to get in addition to those in the article??? I'll give you one real quick off the top of my head. Katie Couric also said post election that "Trump voters need to be de programmed." Democrat/leftists/socialists to seem to use the same scripts. It was pre election but I could always run the Don Lemon "credulous rubes" interview too. Lemon's tone has not changed post election either. These are not distortions of the views of the left, they are mainstream on an increasingly radicalized left wing.

            What your side is doing is only going to harden the opinions of the millions and millions of people they despise.

              Here is a challenge -- let our resident Leftists do something, however small, to unify this forum. Let them demonstrate that they can refrain from snide remarks and look for ways we can cooperate.

                  My side is the United States of America. Who here is on a different side? Or only halfway on the side of the USA? Over 80M voted for Biden.

                  A couple points:

                  Biden is your President, not Katie Couric.

                  About feelings. The record is clear, that Trump was scratching and clawing between 11/3 and 01/20 to arrange any constellation of legal technicalities he could to stay in power, which is plain and simple a heinous insult to the concept of democracy itself, that the people choose the leaders, and leaders leave when their time is up. Some Trump voters felt insulted by what he was trying to do. But many, too many, did not. Consequently, why give a crap about the feelings of people who fervently hoped Trump would find a way to usurp the will of voters and hang onto power?

                  No surprise that 4 days in people are actively looking for any excuse to continue their jihad against the other side. But real grownups don't get easily upset by stuff on the internet right?

                        this question is simple to answer,,



                        the rest of your last post has nothing to do with this,




                        UNITY,,, remember,

                        wouldn't Stalin be a better fit?

                          I've said here many times that Trump is a disaster for the country. Not a conservative, a corrosive agent that only makes the country's problems worse by bringing out the absolute worst in people.

                          Given that a buttload of Conservative judges agreed, insofar as the election lawsuits were judged to be the worst anyone had ever seen, I'm on solid ground. Some of us saw Trump for what he was in his buffoonery days of the 1980s. It's unfortunate that others have to learn the slow, painful way.

                          Anyways Lyman why make it about me? You always try to turn it back on me. Discuss topics, not personalities. Don't make it personal. That means, don't DEMAND answers because that's just being argumentative. If people disagree, they disagree. But the lid stays on the emotions.

                            you seem to want to skate away like you were not who you are,,

                            I'm not making anything personal, (that is your 2nd or 3rd line of defense,, always)

                            we can go back a few years and pull my conversations where we discussed the issues this forum had and the divisiveness,,,

                            <snip>



                            and your first post in this thread was challenged (as in prove what you say) by others besides me


                            so , prove the Biden Admin's UNITY,,, vs what Art and others have posted,

                            that is a topic, and not a personality or personal,

                            it is what you have been, own it,


                            the election and buttload of judges have nothing to do with the OP's comments

                              End of the line on this thread. If people need to dig out old insults, do it in PMs. They don't belong in fresh posts.
