@DEricLee from the vewpoint of a foreigner your description doesnt surprise me. America is identified by most as a strongly christian state and a lot of political power is wielded by that group.

@DEricLee just wanted to add that aetheists are generally "tolerated" here in Australia.

I couldn't agree more.rise my floral children and I'm gonna have to get out the mower.lol

Hi. Would you like to explain how entering WW3 with Russia would have been better? That's pretty much what Hillary would have given us. Trump has basically taken care of everything but the swamp.

Oh, and don't be party-ist. We aren't all confederate flag wavers and anti - LGBT. In fact, considering we don't think minorities are so weak they need help from the government, maybe y'all lefties are the ones who judge people for how they're born. Most of you certainly seem ready to do so to straight white males.

@Jnutter819 if it weren't for the federal government, Jim Crow would still be the law of the land...Oh wait! in some places it still is. It is so easy to victim blame here instead of taking ownership of the policies that keep people of color from having equal opportunities to compete. You guys shout about the unfairness of Affirmative Action...I shout the unfairness of WMP which has dirtied our country since day one. Step up and take ownership of your part and the part your ancestors did to oppress a people with laws that keep them from competing on fair terms. WMP have always been afraid of other groups; that is why suppression and oppression is your only way of keeping yourselves in power. PLEASE read your own American History.

@welkden3 "if it weren't for the federal government, Jim Crow would still be the law of the land...Oh wait! in some places it still is." Without the state governments, Jim Crow would never have become law. The solution to bullying is not a bigger bully. And where exactly is it still law? How does that make the federal government good if it can't even eradicate Jim crow?
"It is so easy to victim blame here instead of taking ownership of the policies that keep people of color from having equal opportunities to compete." I'm not blaming any victims. And what policies keep minorities down?
"You guys shout about the unfairness of Affirmative Action...I shout the unfairness of WMP which has dirtied our country since day one." I don't shout about unfairness. I just want everyone to know that I got my job by being the best applicant, not by being the trans diversity hire. And considering that the jobs men are over-represented in are usually either jobs most women aren't interested in or jobs with high mortality rates (or both), I'm not sure what privilege you're talking about. Is it the glass ceiling white men hit when they literally can't be promoted higher because diversity?
"Step up and take ownership of your part and the part your ancestors did to oppress a people with laws that keep them from competing on fair terms." I don't believe in original sin, and we can't choose our biological parents. That said, consider that Democrats are the ones who put Jim Crow in place.
"WMP have always been afraid of other groups; that is why suppression and oppression is your only way of keeping yourselves in power." I thought WMP meant white male privilege at first, but you're using it as a demographic. White male protestants? I'm an atheist raised Catholic and a woman, so that doesn't fit me. As for fear, can you teach me your mind-reading skill please? And who do you think voted for the 13th through 15th Amendments? White men have done more for equality than anyone.
"PLEASE read your own American History." I did actually. In fact, I did so well that I passed the A.P. U.S. History exam.

@Jnutter819 So YOU are a TRUMPITE--one who championed a sexual predator, Nazi-loving, Russian colluder. He's the reason minorities are being persecuted, legal residents having their status revoked, LGBTQ people's rights being taken, or national forests being opened for development, women's rights being curtailed, Medicare being dismantled, people losing their benefits, schools closing as teachers protest..YOU

@birdingnut can you back up any of those claims or do you just like CNN? He's not perfect certainly, but he's not a sexual predator who stalks the streets raping women, though it's likely that he jumps at every opportunity to have sex, even with women he's never met and who might have refused him were he not rich (because he's hormonally male and you can't understand the strength of that sex drive). He disavowed Nazis and even the apparent delay was only due to audio problems. The only Russian collusion in the election was the Clinton campaign's opposition "research" that created the golden showers scandal. Whites are attacked for supporting him even if there's no evidence they did, unless you've forgotten that poor mentally handicapped boy that four people kidnapped and beat, that old man who got dragged out of his car, Lauren Southern, Blaire White, and hundreds if not thousands of others. What legal residents have had their status revoked, and can you prove that it shouldn't have been? What rights have been taken? And most of all, how are we to blame for your side's fear mongering and subsequent protests?

@Jnutter819 Wow..time to block you. I came to this website to escape racist Trumpites.

Hahaha.......

1. It's cold lol

2. It's expensive and time-consuming

3. Our families and most of our friends are here

4. We prefer our freedoms to your SJW Prime Minister (lol).

@Jnutter819 Hehehe I'm not in Canada....... just inviting Americans to move there. Lol I'm in Australia and our Prime Minister is anything but a Social Justice Warrior (I would be proud of him if he were!).

@DEricLee Neither can I, and the fact that an acronym exists for the label seems to suggest that there are opponents of social justice

@DEricLee If you just want everyone to be treated equally (equality of opportunity), that's obviously good lol. But Trudeau is into original sin A.K.A. white guilt, being a white knight for those helpless minorities who apparently can't tell you when you offend them (so he has to do it for them), equality of outcome (socialism) which history shows just makes life worse for everyone, and other such things that are worth mocking.

@DEricLee But, but, but....... how can anyone possibly OPPOSE social justice..... fairness for all people! Surely if someone is an opponent they're saying that they personally deserve more, and others should be deprived because of them.

@DEricLee How very depressing!

@DEricLee No need to burn a straw man lol. "I must deserve more than you. if you ever got as much as I have the next step is you want more than I have... And we can't have that!" If anything, that entitlement narrative sounds more like democrats and radical feminists. Maybe you haven't noticed, but the Republican party includes people of all demographics partly because it doesn't discriminate the way democrats do. What those of us who are more conservative believe is more like "You only deserve what you work for, and what you get without working for it encourages you to become dependent instead of independent." Obviously there is a level of voluntary charity that is great for helping those who are down on their luck, but the government's forced redistribution only makes things worse. Here's another common belief of conservatives: "Most (if not all) things government can do, the free market and private individuals can do better." If you don't believe that, give me an example. I'd like to clear things up.

@Abbelyne The world may not be fair, but we don't have to make it worse by discriminating based on birth. Define social justice for me in a way that doesn't involve demographics, and I'll consider supporting it. Trying to force equality of outcome in any way other than ensuring equality of opportunity and allowing for voluntary charity will only make things worse. Elon Musk and Bill Gates were not born in rich families. If you take their to give it to people who haven't done anything to earn it, you punish success and reward giving in to failure.
