I read a lot, I often think, I come up with conclusions that in some instances match yours, and I often believe (like you) that I know what is &#8220;truth.&#8221; Most of the time, however, I refrain from mocking those who have differing opinions (although I have to admit, your rant tested my self-restraint 🙂<br />
741You probably already know that ridicule will not win the hearts of those whose minds you apparently want to change. In that case, what is gained by your ridicule?</p>

788												<div class="cs-rating pd-rating" id="pd_rating_holder_6349663_comm_2375"></div><p>I just read that Huffington Post piece and have decided you are now my adopted uncle. (If, however, you are physically incapable of being uncle to a 47 year old woman, then I&#8217;m willing to adjust. Perhaps you are now my adopted nephew. Whatever. I&#8217;m adopting you one way or another and there&#8217;s nothing you can do about it.)</p>
789<p>I would like to print that thing onto something that can be folded and handed out like a business card. Say, a business card. I would then hand it out to anyone working in an establishment that has Fox News on its television, or who I overhear ranting about conservative neocon zombie brigade issue X, Y, or Z, or to my insane relatives who think they&#8217;re not racist because they have accepted that blacks can be quarterbacks. </p>
790<p>What I&#8217;m saying is I loved what you wrote and I wish I could just carry you around in my purse to bring out on all the myriad occasions when I find myself having to choose between b
790iting my tongue, leaving the room, or bursting into a tirade that will alienate every single sentient being within its blast radius. (Though &#8220;sentient&#8221; may be giving them too much credit.)</p>

834Just read your letter to President Trump article in Huffington Post.  You neglected many things when describing illegal immigration.  You mentioned your families danger, but said nothing of the practice of many illegals to kill, such as Kathryne Stenle, and run across the border.  Nothing of the danger brought by so many violent cartel members destroying the private property of ranchers.  The wrecks in which this lame administration lets illegals go, and refuses to render justice for the families they leave in tatters.<br />
835You talk of hope for your family, but what of the families that have spent their lives here, paid their taxes.  Should their children be forced to suffer so your family can succeed.  Remember the true costs of illegal immigration.  If your family wants to be here, there are channels to be gone through.  Anything else is a crime.</p>

881												<div class="cs-rating pd-rating" id="pd_rating_holder_6349663_comm_2425"></div><p>I was just sent a post you made in Facebook. I&#8217;m not on face book so I feel it&#8217;s pretty special this landed in my lap. All I can say is thank you! So&#8230; Thank you. </p>
882<p>Noah Richter<br />
883Boise Idaho</p>
884<p>I feel the need to drop a little truth on y&#8217;all. So buckle up&#8230;I&#8217;m about to be politically incorrect.</p>
885<p>We don&#8217;t need to take America back. No one stole it. It&#8217;s right here&#8230;you&#8217;re sitting in it. Chillax.</p>
886<p>Mexico isn&#8217;t going to pay for the wall and we&#8217;re not going to deport millions of people and break up families. If you think either one is a good idea, you&#8217;re not smart and probably not a person I want to hang out with.</p>
887<p>We don&#8217;t live in a democracy. Technically we are a Federal Republic. But in reality we are ruled by an oligarchy. If you don&#8217;t know what that is, look it up. Reading will do you good. You probably need to do more of it.</p>
888<p>FoxNews, CNN, and MSNBC have an agenda and are not &#8220;fair and balanced&#8221; or in any way unbiased. I&#8217;ll reiterate&#8230;read more. Read newspapers (even online ones). Read lots of opinions and sources and then (stay with me here), THINK! Form your own opinion based on as many facts as your can brain can tolerate.</p>
889<p>Speaking of facts&#8230;there actually is a difference between facts, opinions, and propaganda. You should learn the difference. (Another opportunity to show off your mad reading skills.)</p>
890<p>Science is real. We know things because of science. Don&#8217;t be afraid of it. You have an iPhone and Facebook because of science. It&#8217;s your friend.</p>
891<p>Global warming or &#8220;climate change&#8221; as the cool kids call it IS REAL. Anyone who tells you it&#8217;s not real is not a smart person and probably should not be dressing themselves or caring for children.</p>
892<p>Racism exists. And you are probably a little racist and should work on that. Seriously.</p>
893<p>American Christians are not under attack. We are not being persecuted. We wield so much power in this country that politicians pretend to be Christian just so we will vote for them. No one is trying to take your bible away from you. The gay people are not destroying our families—we don&#8217;t need any help from them, thank you. We do a fine job of that by ourselves. So stop saying we are persecuted. You sound stupid.</p>
894<p>Poor people need help. If you&#8217;re not helping them but complaining about how the government helps them with your money you are not a nice person.</p>
895<p>Be nice to the people who teach your children. Don&#8217;t send them nasty emails or yell at them. Their job is 10,000 times harder than your stupid job. You are not a professional educator so just shut your mouth and be thankful someone is willing to teach your offspring.</p>
896<p>You don&#8217;
896t know what Common Core is. You think you do, but you don&#8217;t unless you&#8217;re a teacher. So stop complaining about math problem memes on Facebook. You can&#8217;t do the math anyway.</p>
897<p>ISIS is not an existential threat to the United States. We do not need to rebuild our military. Our military is the strongest, scariest, most badass killing machine the world has ever seen. So stop being afraid and stop letting politicians and pundits scare you.</p>
898<p>Guns do in fact kill people. That&#8217;s what they are designed to do. If you feel you need a gun to protect yourself in America, you are probably living in the wrong neighborhood and should move before you go out and buy a gun. There are like a billion places to live where you won&#8217;t need a gun, or even need to lock your front door.</p>
899<p>If you do own a gun, then make sure you know how to use it really, really, really well. Seriously&#8230;get some training because you still don&#8217;t know how to record stuff with your DVR. Go to the gun range and shoot the thing a lot. Learn how to clean it properly and be able to disassemble it and reassemble it with your eyes closed. It&#8217;s a freaking gun and it deserves that level of care, proficiency and respect. And for God&#8217;s sake, keep it locked up and away from your kids.</p>
900<p>If you are even a little bit crazy, sad, or pissed off&#8230;you shouldn&#8217;t have a gun. And the Founding Fathers would totally agree with me.</p>
901<p>Stop being suspicious of American Muslims. I guarantee the guy sitting next to you in the cubicle at work is probably more of a threat to you than any Muslim. He has to listen to your uninformed ranting day after day and has probably already imagined very colorful and creative ways to end you.</p>
902<p>Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, and all the rest are ENTE
902RTAINERS! Stop getting your opinions from them. (Here&#8217;s where that reading thing can really be an advantage.)</p>
903<p>Stop sharing Facebook memes that tell me to share or else Jesus won&#8217;t bless me with a laundry basket full of cash. That&#8217;s not how prayer works. And I don&#8217;t want money delivered (even from God) in a laundry basket. Nobody ever washes those things out and they just keep putting nasty dirty clothes in them. Yuck!</p>
904<p>We are the United States of America and we can afford to house every homeless veteran, feed every child, and take in every refugee and still have money left over for Starbucks and a bucket of KFC.</p>
905<p>Unless you can trace your family line back to someone who made deerskin pants look stylish and could field dress a buffalo, you are a descendent of an immigrant. Please stop saying that immigrants are ruining our country. Such comments are like a giant verbal burrito stuffed with historical ignorance, latent racism, and xenophobia all wrapped in a fascist tortilla.</p>
906<p>That&#8217;s all for now. I feel better.</p>

1014an you drill a water well or an oil well?  Can you wire the local supermarket for electricity?   Can you weld, wood work, grow food to feed millions of people, maybe you can artificially inseminate cattle?  Why don&#8217;t you come walk a mile in someone else&#8217;s shoes before you go making uneducated comments.  I agree I don&#8217;t know what common core is, but I don&#8217;t have children.  I am not all that good at math, but I will. E damned if a teachers job is 10,000 times harder than mine.   You think I don&#8217;t need a gun, come check beehives with me in Arizona.  Hell wake up, life is a cruel place.  Why don&#8217;t you come spend a year in the life and my friends before you get all high and mighty and mislead the American public with your ill founded ideas.  We can not afford to support everyone like you think we can,  we don&#8217;t have the jobs.  You know 10 x as much as I do about writing.  I know 10x as much as you about mechanics, electricity, growing crops, raising cattle, and drilling wells.  Yet I make $12 an hour and struggle everyday.  So please, you claim yourself as a missionary, come live my life.  Tell me why God favors you and n
1014ot me.  Tell me why I should support the poor when I am the poor and nobody supports me.  Tell me how Bernie or Hillary is going to make my life better!  The way I see it I have two choices, give up and go on welfare or go to work for the government.  Honestly, I can make more on welfare.</p>

What you expressed cannot be considered a &#8216;rant,&#8217; however.  You cut directly to the chase and simply stated the obvious: America is the greatest nation on earth because we dare to think big.  And as long ordinary people continue to search for the truth beyond the B.S. and point their compass toward the positive, we can overcome anything.  Even stupidity.  </p>
1081<p>Keep it up.</p>

Pause for a moment and discover the good things that are all around us.  Stop.  The other is the assignation of blame.  Nothing just happens anymore.  It seems that we must assign blame to every single thing that goes wrong.  In life things go wrong.  Deal with it, America!  Done.</p>
1148<p>p.s. I agree with your point about the news media agenda.  Fox and MSNBC.  Especially in an election year.</p>

1258												<div class="cs-rating pd-rating" id="pd_rating_holder_6349663_comm_2730"></div><p>Hey! So I just felt the need to add my 2 cents regarding some wording in one of your articles. You spoke of the U.S form of government as not being a democracy, and that we are living in an oligarchy, which I absolutely agree with!!!! BUT, the only thing I found off was your description of our government as a &#8220;federal republic&#8221;, which I do not believe is true. It is a constitutional republic, in which each state has its own bill of rights, constitution, and republican form of government. Article IV of the United States Constitution &#8220;guarantee[s] to every State in this Union a Republican form of Government&#8221;.</p>

I respect your views and appreciate your frank honesty. As a member of the baby boom generation I have enjoyed all of the benefits of living in this wonderful country and blame my generation for wallowing in ignorance, self pity, greed and the it&#8217;s always somebody else&#8217;s fault mentality. We were given the keys to the kingdom, spent our children&#8217;s money (federal spending), blamed the media for bad news, believed people like Rush actually had our best interest at heart and forgot the lessons of history. Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Trump and the once proud Republican party will try to destroy our way of life and turn us towards fascism. I hope that people rise up, protest, educate themselves and vote responsibly before our very way of life is gone.</p>
