Christ on a cracker, no one who has spent any amount of time on this board expects that.
I only said that because there are those who tire of the back and forth and perhaps think we should find common ground.
I'm completely in agreement with Chizad. We should not agree. We shouldn't agree to disagree. We should keep fighting for what we believe in.
I'm going to do that by supporting candidates who are as closely aligned to what I believe as I can. I'm going to support them financially when possible and encourage others to do so. In fact, I got my invitation to President Trump's inauguration yesterday. So I'll be going..... hey.... wait.... Thanks USPS. Awesome job with the timely mail. I'm glad the same government that runs your outfit wants to manage healthcare.
I assume you'll do the same.
I also feel compelled to take advantage of venues like this to exchange ideas (and have the freedom to do so in vulgar ways, fuckhole) and get perspective from the other side. I'm probably not going to change my mind, you're probably not BUT sometimes we may make points that help others see a different view. I'm not even saying it's impossible to change my mind. I let you guys (and his performance) chill me out on Chizik for a while, until I was ultimately proven right in the end.
Where I am with this? If you want to pay for other people's healthcare? Sure. Go ahead. Let the churches do it if they want. I don't want to.
If you want to open the borders? Well, they all have to come live at your house. Yours, George Clooney's, Seth Meyer's, Trevor Noah's, Jon Stewart's etc. You pay for them and you be responsible for what they do. I'd rather not.
I don't want to pay for anybody else's housing, food, clothes or any of that unless I'm not forced to. Then I might.
I'll pay taxes for roads, for education, for police, for firefighters, for people to keep the streets and sidewalks clean.
That to me should be the sole function of government. Keep me safe, make sure I can get where I'm going and stay the fucking hell out of everything else entirely.
