YOU start doing what that quoted paragraph advocates and we'll go from there. I'm not seeing it in your responses.
You've got that friend or foe military mindset, fer me or agin me. That's exactly why we have the split we do now. We have to be more flexible. Canada is a friend and ally, Israel is an ally but not a friend. We can work with both.

Your fellow Americans fall into probably dozens or more slots, and likely none you don't have something in common with. I'm not suggesting you go to Idaho and make friends with the survivalists, or Frisco and hang with the hippies/hipsters, or whatever is cool now. But for christs sake people you were friends with before this shit started shouldn't be written off as the enemy over one or two issues.

I specialized in unconventional warfare. I can work with friend or foe to accomplish the objective of supporting and defending the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. All it takes is one issue of sufficient magnitude; but, it could be the cumulative affect of multiple issues of lesser magnitude.

It seems that tw agrees with you which is irrefutable evidence that your position has no merit whatsoever.

An extremist: interprets using emotions. Same mentality that so hated 5000 American servicemen as to believe Saddam had WMDs - because extremist inspired and 'sexed up' conclusions said he must.

Who did Hitler target for support? People who view the world in terms of that friend or foe military mindset. Conclusions derived from a reptilian thought pattern.

Moderates see the world in perspectives. So moderates can make successful leaders. An extremist sees evil hiding everywhere. The Timothy McVeigh mindset. A big dic mentality characteristic of extremists.

Of course you will deny all this. Your conclusions are predictable. Consistent with the Fox News, Hannity, and Trump propaganda where hate (KKK, Nazis, White Supremacists) concepts are respected and condoned. Where comments are justified by cheapshots and insults. By attacking moderates as if lefty communist rather than discuss the topic.

Extremists are incapable of understanding even major differences between a socialist and a communist. Since that also requires ignoring extremists propaganda. Same extremists rhetoric that wasted 50,000 American lives in Vietnam. And still deny "we have met the enemy and he was us."

Well you should've said all this before … you could've changed the world by now. Information isn't useful unless it's timely. Next time, speak up sooner!

In Greyhound racing nobody likes a cheater, but everyone enjoyed a Cheetah.
Somebody did a lot of digging to uncover this story.
