Reply to comment by southofthetower in Little Compton residents react to town-wide hate-filled mailer with love and solidarity by GhostOpera406

I’m not gonna explain shit to someone who’s upset that gay and lesbian families exist. Take a look in the mirror buddy, you are not being very Christ like.

Ah so you’re one of the self hating ones that want the GOP to accept you, got it. I stand by what I said. It’s crazy to me that you keep advocating for the side that literally wants you dead, imprisoned or stripped of your rights. Just absolutely nutty.

what does forcing a social flag on a state owned property have anything to do with what you said... you've been watching CNN and rachel maddow to much. do you even have a thought of your own? You stand by what you said? what did you Actually say in a response WHY the flag should be flown...? I may have missed that between the insults.

It is not a social flag and you know it. Whether or not you like it, does not decide whether a group of people is valid. The LGBTQ+ community is ingrained in the history of this country. They deserve the spots and visibility they have. Seriously, what is wrong with you???

nothing is ingrained... I remember less than 2 decades ago, people were locked up because of their sexual preference and also because the color of their skin.... its actually quite the opposite actually, where this is new to this country. (late 60;s)

If it is not a social flag, then what is it? again, I respect everyone, regardless of race, sexual orientation. But there is a reason for the separation between church and state.. But again, Im asking... why does the LGBTQ flag "DESERVE" to flown, when other similar flags cannot?

Ah yes, gotta honor those people who went and invaded other countries to make ours richer. Fuck those murderers. I don't fly flags for killers. I'd much rather fly a flag that represents love and life.

wow... you realize because of those "murders" you are ABLE to fly your flag. it's a shame that you have been so indoctrinated to hate your past. YOu think those men wanted to fight? there were not given a choice. I bet you could not fight your way out of a wet paper bag if you tried. if so angry, why not leave USA? I also find it very hypicrital as your typing this from an electrical device made from slave labor.

Name one time that America has had to defend her freedoms from another country.

Middle East: Destabilizing the area for oil and then a disproportionate response to a terrorist attack.

Vietnam and Korea: FiGhTiNg CoMmUnIsM

World War 2: We had a good reason to fight, sure. Everyone can agree Nazis are bad. We didn't step in an help right away though. We waited and even then it wasn't our freedoms in peril yet. It was more about looking tough. If it had been about freedoms we would have entered the war sooner.

Not to mention all the absolute crap we've done to help prop up dictators and banana republics in the name of democracy.

We've literally only ever invaded other countries.

Those soldiers you're so hyped up about? Most of them (barring draftees but even they had a choice to refuse to pick up a gun) chose that life. They chose to stay in those situations after seeing the war crimes America commits.

As for fighting? You're right. I used to be able to kick ass and take names. Now I'm older and wiser. So I know better than to fight.

Why not leave America? America was built on the idea that a government power must be willing to change and have a citizenry holding it accountable. To leave the country rather than fighting to make a better place, would be irresponsible.

Real change doesn't come from killing others. It comes from helping each other.
