Hardcore troubadour 12,552 Posted July 19, 2019 If yiu don't like someone because of what they do, not who they are, is that being a bigot? We have a lot of people using that word, would just like to clarify it's meaning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We have a lot of people using that word, would just like to clarify it's meaning. This is the meaning of the word and it is usually used accurately. It's why I use it instead of throwing around the word racist. Bigot: a person who is utterly intolerant of any differing creed, belief, or opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So itt has nothing to do with behavior, just who the subject of the bigotry is. So being against people for the reason they enter and remain in our country illegally wouldn't be bigoted, under the definition? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not wanting people to come into our country illegally is not bigoted at all. That's just wanting our laws followed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is zero tolerance from the left of any beliefs or opinions which differ from theirs. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But that's not how the left portrays it. If you're against illegals you are automatically a bigot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MDC 5,874 Posted July 19, 2019 Can I support stopping illegal immigration without portraying refugees and immigrants as disease ridden criminal animals and terrorists? Cause it seems to me Don could make a strong effective case for stopping illegal immigration without smears and lies. The fact that he doesn’t leads me to believe this is more about tossing red meat to bigots than actually solving a problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really don't care how he portrays them any more than i care how Democrats portray Trump, or anyone else. Results....everything else is just wasted time and effort....

Bostonlager 2) The Trumpers who make tortures arguments about why it wasn’t bigoted. Reality and many others 3) The Trump supporters who back the POTUS but shake their head at his comments. Voltaire I understand 1 & 3. 2 is just embarrassing. I said you have to interject the racism, I never mentioned bigotry. You guys really struggle with this stuff don't you?

The last thing we as a nation should be concerned with at this point in time is refugees. We have no business helping outsiders when we have homeless Americans, especially in the shiithole they call California. America and Americans first before we lend a hand to outsiders. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
