I don't know your intentions but I assumed by great divide you were referring to liberals and conservatives being further apart today than they were decades ago? If that is your meaning than I disagree, Bush was not a polarizing figure. For the most part, conservatives AND liberals were united in their criticisms of Bush.
The cause of today's divide I think can be attributed to more complex, sinister causes. Misinformation and propaganda have crowded our information channels, paranoia is back in a different way. I don't think this has to do with Bush himself, but it did start under the Bush administration.
Yeah that's a point on which I would criticize Obama. I think his use of drones was misguided and ultimately more harmful than helpful.
Hollywood does seem to be considerably more liberal. the recent rash of sex scandals in Hollywood are by people of liberal persuasion.
this is just the truth
however, there's no shortage of "religious" righties doings sick things in politics.

EXACTLY. it's usually one of Fly's comments that someone attaches to. he makes these general statements with some condescending catch phrase that is hashed in the right wing media 10000 times a day and someone else runs with it.
you're alright fly but those little brain washed catch phrases make anyone who uses them look ignorant as shiit

I can agree. I just think it takes a certain personality. you have to be kind of a scum bag that can easily lie to yourself to become a mother phucker like some of these dudes.
give me millions and all the power in the world and i'm still not turning into a Weinstein (if he's guilty)
we blame it on outside sources but this shiit all comes from inside and how strong you are mentally

you talk like phucking rush Limbaugh dude. you're brain washed and ignorant.
and you have to choose "sides" that are already established for you like life is just two phucking sports teams competing.
I live by my own interpretations. you live by talk radio slogans

I don't think he was trying to manipulate your point at all, just explaining how he's not a "my side can do no wrong" either and would call out shit as being shit wherever it pops up, I least that's how I read his post and why I agreed with it and gave an example.
then he came out prematurely defensive by stating let's not make this a partisan thing...as he quoted me.
either way it's no big deal

No human being should have the degree of untouchable power or royalty that men like Weinstein and Ailes had.
Not to mention that to even attain that level of CEO success, the person likely has a twisted mind to begin with. A good portion of CEOs are psychopaths able to focus on themselves single-mindedly and sacrifice all those who get in their way. No one totally sound of mind has the initiative to become a Hollywood mogul or News titan
There's like a Stanford study on it. The type of people who become CEOs are generally very different from everyday folk. To reach the pinnacle of an industry you've got to have special brain chemistry.
I'm more of a conservative libertarian. blaming rich people in general seems silly to me but...
how do you explain the type of mentality of a guy that is worth billions and can easily lay off a guy a few years from retiremement. just to save 40k a year. a guy with kids that have problems and a wife. a guy who is going to be destroyed.
just common sense thinking. what kind of person does it take to do this?
what does someone say inside their head to make this ok?
i'm genuinely asking. i really want insight into this because i know i'm an a$$hole but i've given the last few dollars in my wallet to the few homeless people that actually convinced me of their plight.
