Well you got me…I thought I was going to read an article about how perhaps both of our political parties needed to come to grips and maybe work toward understanding this countries problems in a real and honest way and possibly start working for solutions….what I got was another by the numbers …all people that voted for Trump are either racist….ignorant….White Supremists…..so on and so forth…is the alt-right now the Boogeyman that hides in every liberals closet?…I apologise to any and all liberals that don’t blindly suscribe to the belief that all conservatives are white devils…or uncle toms if they are black…..I’m sorry but I strongly disagree. siderism is just another way to say one side is all wrong and the other is all right…It really should be called what it is…onesiderism….The writer implies that our Democracy is in the balance and that is the one point I agree with him….I do believe we are at a junction and have to decide as a nation who and what we are…..however I do not adhere to his solutions if thats what they are….He defends the use of force by groups of people that foster hate as their motivation and basically practices his own “siderism” when he states that although I know not all republicans are white supremists I’m lumping you all together anyway….He worries about the recruitment of folks into these groups….I won’t pretend to know how many Nazi’s or white supremists there are in this country….I suspect however that it’s a pretty small number….but I do believe that most people who gravitate to any hate group has some mental issues….His double-speak is troubling….”we live in a democracy where everyone can vote and the good people will win out at the polls where it counts”…but if somehow they don’t we can resort to violence and thats ok…..I think that when you are willing to condone the actions of one hate group because they are in conflict with another hate group that you hate as well, you are playing with fire…one which inevitably will burn us all….I’m sorry Mr. Huerta…You really should re-evaluate your personal definition of BIAS…..this was very biased in my opinion and sadly one-sided….I have no use for anyone who somehow believes they are superior to their fellow man because of their color nor do I ascribe to the notion that because someone has a higher education…or money..or social status that makes them superior either….in the real world however there will always be those kinds of people…like you I very much want a free and open society for all people….unlike you though I do very much believe in free speech even though it protects the rights of those I would deem dangerous and even evil…..and I’m never going to condone any hate groups violence……ever!….my apologies that I haven’t addressed all the issues I have with your sumation…I am getting old and am tired…yet I would welcome a response from you to try to understand your position exactly and try to find common ground on which we can agree and possibly learn and grow from…
