The reason rick scott's propaganda gets so much traction is that there are people not smart enough to know the difference. It's not merely that they don't know the difference, they also lack the critical thinking skills necessary to discern between factual information and propaganda.

Thank you. Love is love. It comes in all forms and all forms should be respected and accepted. It's unfortunate that the one size must fit all fanatics can't see this. They're missing out on a lot.

I think I'm going to Disney in December with my Hindu friend and her daughter. She is 11 and has never been to Disney. I'm sure we will get some stares, but I don't care. Love is love. Now some radicalized lunatic fringe? That is a concern.
At Disney, you will not get stares.

At Disney, of all places? Yes, this would be a fairly common sight.

What you've described so accurately applies to what the Dems/Libs and MSM have been and are doing to Republicans/Conservatives. Just pick an "-ist" and I guarantee anyone with conservative values has been accused of being one, all in the name of pandering.

Yes he is proud to be raising an ignorant child. A chip off the old block. How can you not be proud when your child takes after you?

Yes, so sad that in our race to the intellectual bottom, ignorance is actually celebrated by a large portion of the population. It's no wonder that other industrial Countries increasingly look at us as a train wreck now...
