    I don’t mind your outrage. I’m not outraged. Simply stating that resorting to such personal attacks are self-defeating. Stay on point for why you hate him. But also realize you have a visceral reaction, one that’s pathological. IE you dislike his stances so much, every aspect of his existence is loathed.

    It’s that hatred I’ve seen for Bush, Obama, etc. it’s present on both sides and offers nothing productive to the argument. And I see it as a detriment, which is why I singled out your post.

    I don't have daddy issues and don't need you to tell me how to post or what to say. If you don't like my post, don't read it. Otherwise, I'll freely state how disgusting that I find trump...inside and out. His surgical bald spot is disgusting and illustrative about who and what he is.

    Believe me, a lot of women are completely disgusted and grossed out by trump. He is a vile individual who elicits a vomit-worthy reaction.

    I find much irony in the French speaking against nationalism, the same people who refuse to speak english to their tourists, the French generally among the more nationalistic of nations.
    I can just see it... the moment Macron uttered those words the entire French nation probably sat up and went... huh? :lol:

    It is interesting that we find ourselves being preached to by the French on nationalism.

    Agreed ... Macron has simply publicly said an unpopular fact, for nothing but nationalism and militarism were the catalyst of World War I. But the right-wingers do not want to know that or even accept it as a fact.... as you can read it in this thread after the OP!

    At the right scum of the Front National certainly not ... there you are right. But who gives something to these bastards?
    And Macron's popularity suffers because of something completely different ... because he makes really painful but very necessary reforms in France!

    In every European country is the constitutional right of free speech given ... but in a much smarter and better version, that this right can't be abused to fight the constitution who gives this right.
    And naive it isn't ..

    Extremism in any topic is ALWAYS a vice. Goldwater was wrong.
