We are a country of laws, without which we would be doomed. Where do you draw the line?

Plenty of people around concerned about it from a legality standpoint. Lots more just don't want the whiteness of the country messed with and want the "great" America back.

So what? A lot of people want the whiteness to be "messed with." A lot of people don't want the legal framework that made America great. A lot of people don't want the financial burden of maintaining unemployed Americans while replacing them with lower wage immigrants or unemployed immigrants. A lot of people want to change the political, social, and cultural makeup of this country aided by unsupportable mass immigration of different cultures and political persuasion. A lot of people don't want their stuff messed with. You got a problem with that? Is everybody supposed to think like you? You got all the answers and know better what's better for everybody?

I do have a problem with the racist, anti-all-but-one type agenda put forth by the president, yes. It is based mostly on lies and fear. It has emboldened many lousy segments of our country. Everybody is not supposed to think like me, but luckily this forum isn't about everyone sharing how they feel and each of us patting each other on the back. Calling b.s. is what has been done for eons. I understand why a law and order person gets upset that the bigot aspect gets tied in to the discussion. The Republicans would have fixed the problem if it was just a law and order issue. They can't because their ranks are split and the law and order segment cant pass what is acceptable to them and the far right nuts will never get there agenda through. Stalemate. Some like to pretend the narrative is perpetually about racism, when racism isn't part of the story. It is part of the story.

because you have this odd need and desire to insert it onto every story...and it's not just you but the left in general and the media...it's become a crutch and a weapon...it's obnoxious

funny line on sports radio this morning "3000 reporters showed up to cover 4 white supremacists this weekend"

and in the process, gave them a soapbox that reaches millions.

I prefer they live in the dark little recesses and crevices of the world, never to be taken seriously or heard from. But the media has to drag them out for the world to see just so they can go 'See, See, We told you so.....Trump"

the idiocy is astounding.

If I remember correctly last years event brought out thousands, people died and the President failed a no-brainer leadership moment...you can't expect them to stay in the dark little recesses when the President is stirring the same pot.

The Trump effect has shown me exactly who my friends are who harbor racist/biggoted/hateful beliefs. I do t need a stupid staged white power party to tell me that there’s people out there who think there’s too much brown in their town.

It just sucks to be portrayed by a certain group as a racist simply because you believe in law and order.
