Talk to Twitter and Facebook about all the accounts they have shut down for having the wrong opinions.

Off you go again with your misguided idea that private businesses owe you the right to say what you wish on their platform.

I am confident that if the situation was reversed we would have Antifa style riots by now.

Google "does hating affect your health?" and come back in a few years after you finish reading. 219,000,000 hits. And that is just your physical health.

 

But the people you hate don't feel a thing. 

I didnt say i hate them. I dont give a toss about them.

What’s the problem with seeing and calling out fools, haters, racists, misogynists, xenophobic, homophobic and cultists?

There is no problem with calling out the occasional wrongdoer, though the simplistic name calling is a bit silly because human behaviour is vastly more complex.

 

The problem is blindly labelling vast unseen swaths of society with these silly labels often along political boundaries. All but the truly blind know this is a ploy used through the ages to teach hate and gain political power or votes.

What punishment?

 

Saying people who believe in a fairy tale are stupid is not punishment.

You mean just like what Trump's doing?

 

PS. That was just too easy, but thanks for the Christmas present!

Trump is no fine Christian by any standard. but why is no one calling out Nancy for abandoning the tenets of her faith while still pretending to be a Catholic!?

One can be a religion but not religious. Unlike trump who says he is to use it to his advantage.

"One can be a religion"..... a religion with one follower? Ok, great.

 

"Unlike trump who says he is to use it to his advantage."...… Where did he say that? All politicians play up the "religion" THING when it's time for the vote. As an example, you never see a white Presidential candidate attending a predominately black church UNTIL they are running for office and stop by on a Sunday to take to the pulpit(with a camera crew in tow) to talk about things that will make the black community think they are "one of them" so to speak. 

 

If they were really all that interested in the black community they'd stop by for services on occasion rather than once every 4 years to try to gain their votes. It's true of all politicians.

The current line up of Democrat candidates are straight out of a dystopian novel. People who have not yet had their morality and common sense dissolved by the constant degradation of a formerly great culture, based on morality and founded on Godly principles, will obviously vote for any alternative to the slobbering hell beasts. Trump is not them, vote Trump.

 

Think trump will lose a couple of voters because of the "great things" (sarcasm) he has achieved:

Just getting rid of the revolting Pacific treaty thing earned him my vote. Opting out of Paris accord got him a second vote from me. Unfortunately I can't vote in the US.

When Trump wins next year I might revise my opinion that God does not interfere in the business of mankind. IMO God has sent Biden to make sure Trump wins.

what's to dislike about liberal people, look up the word in the dictionary, it's the same as tolerance, something I'm sure that Jesus would agree with. Communist doctrine:- 'From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs' not a bad basis for a society but like christianity it has never been put into practice, even the Soviet socialist republic never pretended to be communist and they weren't even socialist, it was just a dictatorship, the West has a sort of democracy but it's real basis is dictatorship from capital.

Except for the first sentence, I agree.

I don't think you looked it up.

 

Doesn't this definition look a lot like tolerance?

Wiki says:

Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on liberty, consent of the governed and equality before the law. Liberals espouse a wide array of views depending on their understanding of these principles, but they generally support limited government, individual rights (including civil rights and human rights), capitalism (free markets), democracy, secularism, gender equality, racial equality, internationalism, freedom of speech, freedom of the press and freedom of religion.

Liberal has been co opted by the left, in the same way as "gay" was co opted by homosexuals and no longer means what it originally did.

No, in the US liberal has been co opted by the right as an insult for the left. In other countries 'liberal' still has the traditional meaning. Don't know about all countries though, how about NZ e.g.?

I guess in several other countries (I.e in Europe), what is called a liberal political platform in the US would be called moderate right wing, and what is called leftist or even socialist would be called liberal or social democrat.

The only reason it is sometimes used as an insult by the right is because so many people confuse liberalism with leftism. 
 

Traditional liberals have much more in common with conservatives in the US than leftists.

Lmao... enough said? Not really enough said at all... you made a statement that lacks any links, and is deceptive, if not an outright lie.

 

Did you even read Breitbarts article about a CT editor lionizing a man who failed to condemn Communism as much as nazism?

 

lol... breitbart... what was it you said... oh yeah “enough said”

Are you herein suggesting that republicans are stupid as they cannot discern left from liberal.... after all, these insults are meant for republican consumption, to further divide... or should I say; to further polarize their base?
