Would you please describe the attributes of the devil you find Cruz to possess? Thank you.

An awful lot of perfectly reasonable points of view get buried at EvC under a mountain of nitpicking pedantry about terminology.

EvC isn't a court of law and in a discussion like this, tp treat Stalin and Mao as if they'd never committed their millions of murders just because they were never brought to trial, is a very strange and dangerous deception. It ought to be possible to discuss the evidence in the case of Hillary without pretending she's innocent enough to be President if she's not.

Gosh, a whole new level of nitpicking pedantry, complete with the accusation of liar too.

Seems to me there was a time when the two sides could coexist with some mutual respect or at least friendly tolerance. Something changed, in the sixties I believe, that turned liberalism from a benign focus on do-goodism to a Marxist point of view, thanks to the Cultural Marxism that was growing in the universities. Feminism is one thing, Marxist feminism is something else. Etc. (ABE: I remember going to a meeting about gay rights where the audience was harangued by the speaker in an angrily baccusatory and threatening way, about how we are ALL "really" homosexuals" and how we have to see things his way or else. I considered myself a liberal in those days but I wanted to walk out, only I was intimidated into sitting it out. I was shaking when I left). And my experience of the left from that point on was that they were extremely aggressive about ramming their self-righteous views down everybody else's throat. Conservatism as we now experience it, grew in reaction against all that, starting with the Moral Majority. It used to represent a reasonable patriotism and a reasonable capitalism that could dialogue with the reasonable do-goodism of the liberal side. But thanks to the infiltration of Cultural Marxism and its Political Correctness, which is nothing but ramming leftism down our throats, the country has become polarized in a very unhealthy way. I don't see a way out of it myself. Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

I didn't mean to start a whole new discussion of political correctness, I only wanted to say that I disagree with the one-sided fingerpointing at conservatives. Political correctness has been discussed to death on other threads, and would only take this one wildly off topic.
