  14.  @11kravitzn  You are sorely misinformed about the histories of the Democrat and Republican parties. The Republican Party formed in 1854 to fight against slavery, specifically the Kansas–Nebraska Act of 1854. The act was to create the territories of Kansas and Nebraska and would repeal the Missouri Compromise, allowing slavery to part of those 2 territories. This act was drafted by Stephan Douglas, a Democrat Senator. This started a series of conflicts against that act and the idea of allowing slaves in the new territories. The Republican Party was formed to fight against that act that allowed slavery. When the Civil War started, there was no Republican representation in the Southern states. None. After the Civil war, segregation was enforced by the Klu Klux Klan, an arm of the Democrat party. It was a Democrat, George Wallace, that delivered the famous line "segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever" in 1963. Wallace ran, in the presidential primaries, through the 70s, as a Democrat and as a staunch supporter of segregation. He fought against Civil Rights and against the integration of blacks and whites students in public schools. I don't know where you got your information but a simple google search will confirm everything that I told you. Blacks started to vote Democrat in the 1930s because of Roosevelt's "New Deal", for the first time in American history. Before that, they'd always voted Republican and the Republican Party had grown in the south after the Civil War because of the Black Republicans. The New Deal was the big shift in black politics, yet it was mostly Democrats that fought against the repealing of the Jim Crow laws thirty years later. Don't believe me. Learn about American political history. These are facts that Democrats like to keep hidden and one can hardly blame them for that. It might be time to stop pointing fingers and to take responsibility for ourselves as individual human beings instead of aligning ourselves into groups who will say anything to malign their opposition.

  33.  @michaelpalmieri7335  When Obama was first elected, I did think that this was a turning point for race relations in the US. Was I right but not in the way I thought. Obama was in the unique position of being the one person who could have brought some sense to the discord after the Michael Brown shooting in Ferguson. Instead, he basically said nothing and let that city burn, even though it was found that the "hands up, don't shoot" was false. By the time it was done not only Ferguson was burning, so were parts of Milwaukee, Baltimore, Minneapolis and Dallas. People were marching in the streets, some even calling for the killing of ordinary and random police officers and 5 officers in Dallas and 2 in New York were brutally murdered in response to the anti-police rhetoric of the press and certain leaders. One was a young black officer, mother of 2, who was waiting in her police vehicle and was executed with a bullet to the back of the head. Obama did nothing and the reason for that was simple. There was an election coming and he didn't want to upset the black voters. Race relations have been at their worst since the sixties. That was Obama's legacy and not one that he should be proud of. I would agree that Trump should never have praised Gianforte for body slamming that reporter however he did NOT mock that reporter for his handicap. The media gave the impression that the reporter Serge Kovaleski had cerebral palsy, a disease in which the sufferer loses body control. Kovaleski does NOT have cerebral palsy so he does NOT suffer from the lose of body control that one would see if he were afflicted by that disease. He speaks quite normally. Trump was mocking his fluster at being caught in an awkward stance on a claim he made. This is Kovaleski and how he normally talks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZ45EsD2Gc0 These are examples of how Trump mocks people who get caught in a lie and acting flustered. He has done it many times in the past. No one is going to claim the Ted Cruz is handicapped or even himself, years before. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AedzsWd-ME Maybe Trump could have handled it better when he did find out the guy did have a bad arm but he wasn't mocking him for that. He was mocking him for getting caught in saying something that wasn't true by using exaggerated antics that a flustered person might use. To say that he was mocking his handicap is being disingenuous, at best, dishonest at worst.

  41.  @shaniajackson7864  You can't even tell which brand of Christianity is the correct one. Is it the Roman Catholic Church? The Presbyterian Church? How about Calvinism or the Amish? Millions died and were persecuted trying to sort that out. Furthermore, it's the belief in God that matters, not the ideology. Ideology is the man made construct and Christianity has splintered into all kinds of factions. We, as humans, don't have the wisdom to distinguish each facet of the teachings of the Bible and 2 people could read the same passage in their Bible and come to different conclusions to its meaning. That's was a major reason why the founding fathers of the US allowed freedoms. They wanted to avoid the endless wars and deaths that plagued Europe for centuries. Freedom of speech, of religion, of assembly, all the basic principles of the Constitution, that will allow us all our own path to live our life the way that God granted us. The Apostles never once advocated that Christians force anyone to believe in Jesus. The only thing important was faith and that was something that was lost in the Middle Ages and was slowly brought back, starting with the Reformation and culminating in the American Constitution. Also, the Kingdom of Heaven will never be attained on earth. Jesus told us that, explicitly. Any attempt to force it or say that Christianity is the only way, negates the fact that we're still human and as such we will pervert his way. That's a guarantee. The realisation will come with the Kingdom of Heaven, not by the Evangelicals, who believe that they have the right to tell me how to believe or what to believe.
