I will use religion to explain once again. The Democrats and Republicans are like Muslims and Christians, yes there are plenty of other religions and beliefs, but those groups are so big it's hard for anybody else to gain control of the people. Independents, the green party, all the little parties out there don't have the power, the money, or the backers to gain ground. People are like sheep, they follow the flock, however I think people are starting to think more freely nowadays, and they get much more information. 100years ago people were happy to support the government, they were more patriotic, look at the support people gave during WW2. But now the government has screwed people over in so many ways that people no longer trust them, they have no respect for the people or the money the people supply them. It's natural for people to want to belong, as in belong to a group, like being Democrat or Republican, and the parties know this and try to pin us against each other in order to cause a conflict and make us choose a side. Things will get much worse before they ever get better. So to answer the question "Can't we all just get along?" the answer is "No" unless there are some major changes in the way things are done. Maybe the people should be voting directly for policy's
instead of voting for people that say they will do things and never come thru with their promises?

I respect everyone's input and encourage it. That being said, as I figured, all of our opinions, beliefs way of life, you can literally breakdown our differences in yearly, monthly, weekly, days, minutes and so on. when your a kid in school you talk to anyone; probably friended whoever wanted to be around ya. if you work, obviously depending on the job but most jobs you talk, communicate and get along with everyone. so yeah we could get along but...
for example, I didn't care for trump when he ran. he wrote that book in 07 I believe, "the America we deserve." he talked about gun control and I knew he flipped flopped between his political ideas. However, im believe in truth, results proof ect. president before him, economy was in the tank, everything was doubled or triple sky rocket inflation y'all get it. he also said america will no longer be a manufacturing country ever again. those same people keep promising cities and black communities they'll get better but 15 20 yrs later; just a steady decline! they all lie!
President Trump, however, who I doubted at first, not only said what he was gonna do but did it and in most cases did it better than he originally stated. all races, religions everyone that wanted to prospered under President Trump! l He put America first, peace through strength! not only were we almost energy independent, economy was on fire and only getting hotter, utilities, gas grocery everything was cheaper and shelves in the stores were full. Life was great and not just for a specific people, but everyone did better!!! oh and he bring manufacturing back!!! I gotta say it again, I didn't want President Trump until we actually got President Trump. I can admit I was wrong and still hold my head high because I never weaver. I stick to facts, truth results ect. and I'm never dissatisfied at the end of the day like politically motivated people.
politicians are fake, they come with bureaucrats and are bought and paid for which is the exact reason you can't believe anything thing they say. President Trump said though, he's no politician, he's a business man and he won't go against anything he ran on and his words held actions.. actions that backed every word he said. that's what I live by. my word is my bond I tell you I'm gonna do something you better believe I'm doing it.
it didn't matter to me republican democrat, as long as you did what you said, I would've backed you too!! but that's the difference between republicans and realists like myself. every republican I talk to is downing liberals and I understand why they feel that way but I also understand how liberals feel. obviously, I just said who i would vote for because he produced facts and results. maybe, instead of both sides approaching the situation politically; you need to look em in the eye and say and say it because its truth. republican or democrat? capitalism or socialism even communism? Yes, there's a slight difference in ideology but call it what you want even liberalism ect. garbage is garbage, to me. but that should be the point of discussion. capitalism and that cannot co- exist. parties however can and we have as long as their not promoting that in America for example. So yes, that's the problem. That's the exact reason that the far left in that party calls a orange a apple and if you disagree your racist. That's why they say liberal not socialist. no one will vote for that and that's no good. so everything is opposite with them because if facts and truth prevail they have no chance. with is why they want gov. to control the media, elections and so on. same thing being done in N. Korea, Russia ect. hell, look at Venezuela; they were the wealthiest country in south America until the socialist dictator turned that country into a banana republic. I'll even go as far as breaking it down, socialism works great.. in small groups where everyone has a job and puts in to help the group. Eskimo groups in Alaska still do it today but in a large country it will never work. Time and time again it's proven true but yet here we are now. they're trying to try it again but here in America.

no ulterior motive to be gained. However, every American gaines. believe what you want how you want when you want. "My opinion" that one change and the constitution could still be upheld. No more division; at least as we know it now. win win. If every American moves as one "with our differences" we would be that much harder to divide and penetrate. like I said though, that's my opinion.

Well said y'all. I appreciate your input. That being said however, what if, throwing away parties and just being Americans might be that change we need. Actually, that's the exactly how thier able to divide us.

Just out of curiosity. Why is politics on everyone's mind and at the end of our tongues? I been thinking this way a long time. At the end of the day every American loves their freedom, their liberties!! Of course, that being possible because our constitution guarantees every American, no matter party lines, has "what they said" is a God given right! God or no God, God aside,
we're humans, we don't want to be told what to do or when to do something. We don't want to be controlled!! Man dont want other man telling him what do or controlling his life's in any way. Isn't that the exact reason when growing up you move from your parents? Well, more common reason. Had to rephrase that.
At the end of the day why can't we put all that bs aside, there's no Republican, no Democrat no party.... JUST AMERICAN!!!!! We can find that common ground, if we looked. It's exists, in America....
because we're all different, believe in different things, have different names, have different houses opinions so on.

There's a war now going on that wasn't going on under the last president... How is "almost" got us in a war a logical answer?! I'm not political, I'm an American, a realist. How is could've ,would've or should've any kind of answer, point or argument? "unless the subject was already theoretical" Please explain to me how you find that credible? Me being non bias, I want to relate but I can't see how I can when that's your proof, your answer, your standing by this. Fyi my ears are open

The hole thing is really ridiculous when you think about it. If I'm Muslim, and believe in Allah as God I'm not going to a Christian bakery to get my cake and vice versa. Duh, these are just people wanting to stand out and change something that doesn't need to be changed. Usually, it doesn't go well in the end for the one wanting to fix what isn't broken as history has shown time and time again. But it's little things like that keep us distracted from what's really going on. Remember though, It's politics, there's always a ulterior motive at play.

Oh come on, that was said 2 presidents ago. "We wouldn't survive 4 yrs" not only did we but 8 we survived! Now, if we didn't have that racist bad last president that that strengthened our economy, every creed, race, religion ect "who wanted to" prospered under that president! Gas was down, everything was down, shelves in stores were filled with food, everything he said, he did, plus. Oh and he brought back manufacturing to America. Pres. before him said it was gone for good.
Now, look at yourself 2 yrs later?! shelves are empty, gas is up like utilities and everything else. People can't afford to eat, pay bills , live ect.
If that doesn't tell you anything, then you probably shouldn't vote.
Democrat, republican their all rich you think they care what we're going through? They have their private security, planes, groups, drivers ect. calling a Uber 3 or 4 times a day to go eat then to get a snack, later.

Neither care, but One did actually produce results and life for everyone was better. The heck with democrat, republican. How about just being American!! We love our Liberty, free speech, our constitution our freedom!!!! Why can't we just vote for that no matter who's proposing it?

That was a weak argument anyway. His attitude?! What?! They are the rich, elite. Their attitude is their better than everyone under them and they know what's best for all us poorer folks. Dealing with that, ya gotta have a attitude to stand up against that.

Hate Politics, I'm neither republican or democrat. I go by facts, evidence, things I can see, reality ect. 1thing I know happened, 2 presidents ago, gas was up, economy was in the tank, cost of living went up oh and he said manufacturing will never be in America anymore, done! Then, when the last president took office, everything he said, he did and then some. Gas was down, cost of living was down, life was great!! Also, manufacturing came back to America oh and everyone, I mean everyone, no matter what race, religion, ethnicity whatever; every american that wanted to, prospered under that president. Now, we got this guy, same thing as 2 presidents ago, gas went back up, cost of living went back up, the economy is still hanging in there but he isn't done yet, so wait. To me, that tells me everything. That's approaching the situation non biased.

Agreed, I can't say at the end of the day that God does or doesn't exist. I don't debate opinions, only facts. God or no god, her opinion is protected under the First Amendment, period. Like yours, mine and everyone else's.

I mean just me saying, but if I come to you and you don't want my business say for example, just because, I'm gonna find someone else to make my cake because I don't want to give you my money.

That all may be, first amendment, her stating that on her website etc. etc., but her belief isn't under threat. She can believe what she wants, doesn't mean she can reject people based on their sexual orientation. The same-sex couple is being discriminated, not her religion & beliefs.
Would be quite something is you could use your beliefs as a reason to not serve people. Again, if she gets away with this you can soon have scenarios where doctors refuse to help people because of their sexual orientation, skin colour, ethnicity etc. etc.
What if you happen to be gay/coloured/of other religion and desperately need surgery yet the doctor refuses based on those facts? Insanity!!
Or you get kicked out of the supermarket, or cannot buy a coffee at Starbucks, because you're skin isn't white and the shop assistant's beliefs entitle her/him to stick to that point?
She can practise her belief all she wants, that's not under scrutiny. But it should never be allowed to become a gauge of whom you serve and who not when it concerns sexual orientation, skin colour, (other) religion etc.
How far does she go? What if a Muslim couple wants her to make a website? Or a black couple? Or when she feels a couple shouldn't get married because they're not a good match? As that would also be an option then. It's her playing god.
Seriously crossing a line.

If this couple deliberately did this is another issue. And to be honest, not even wrong. It'd be good to have a clear court ruling for others to rely on when a similar thing happens elsewhere.

As for myself, I'd also not go to someone like that if I really wanted my wedding stuff done. But that's only because I can't be bothered with the hassle. It would P me O though as it simply is NOT right. And if it P me O enough I'd sure as heck do the same thing: sue her!
At some point someone has got to make a statement to stop religious nutters. Simply put: if such things are so problematic for her she shouldn't run a business.

Actually, that's exactly what that means.

First Amendment.... freedom of religion is protected under the First Amendment; that being said, if they don't believe in whatever it may be, they shouldn't be forced to do it. We don't make atheists pray in school, and that's ok, that's their view. So why is it ok the other way around? I'm not a Christian like that but I believe we are not far from religious persecution if we can't stay in line with our constitution. At the end of the day, we ALL just want our freedom!

Couldn't agree more, which is why we have to begin with that now, which is what is happening.
I applaud that. It's good to invest in new truly clean renewable energy sources like wind, sun, water.

When I was watching the docu "The Long Way Up" I was surprised to see that in South America this is widely used! Water energy, wind energy, solar in lesser degree.
In Africa -I think Ethiopia especially- they're creating massive 'fields' with solar panels for electricity. They got the space, it is clean energy, AND it provides jobs for people. They get trained to set them up, maintain them, clean them, etc. etc.
Win-win.

I never get why development/poor countries CAN effectively do this while in Western countries there's so much fussing going on about it.
It almost makes you think that we white people are geared to destroying the planet. Really weird.

You said it yourself, ice age or this? Every yr we get closer to the sun and that's a fact. Them glaciers are gonna melt with or without us. Oh, also like in Texas, Arizona a few different states; there are acres of wind turbines "natural energy". The problem is, from what they produce minus what an average person uses, it's not enough.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but what you think happened in Venezuela? Once the richest country in South America; now, poorest. Gas, food, cost of living went up, up now, can't afford nothing. Their basically repeating them same failed ideas in Europe and America. Im about facts not politics. If life was great here but not there, that tells me everything I need to know.
