That wasn't emotion. It was logic. It's why slavery isn't a good thing even for slave owners.

If you dehumanize others you dehumanize yourself. There is no way around it.

But I don't expect you to understand this simple concept.

And there's nothing at all wrong with having an emotional reaction to cruelty, abuse, and hatred toward our fellow human beings.

The idea that tomorrow there will be death camps or SS death squads einsatzgruppen was as ridiculous today as it was to the vast majority of Germans in 1933. We lose our liberty and our humanity a little at a time. It's important to stop these things before they become acceptable.

Correct. And while he may find these things acceptable, there is little I can do, here, on this forum within the rules. He wants me to come to harm? So be it, its a taint on him, not me. I can simply not read what he has to say, thus he loses power over me. Outside of the forum, there is much that can be done to try and prevent his world, and desires from coming to pass.

Trump, due to his narcissism, does not have normal human emotions. His most ardent admirers seem to be likewise afflicted.

There are those who will do *anything* if it means the 'other side' is upset. Even if it means breaking the rules of their savior who says 'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.'

They. Do. Not. Care. It's a game. Ignore those who wish you to come to harm.

On a skeptics forum. Lol

Thanks for proving my point. You’re simply not interested in what is actually going on. So much so, your hero Obama treated them exactly the same. The reason moron Obama had it done the same way because they are looking out for these children when their parents actually aren’t. This is what happens when you break laws!

Such raw emotion which typically comes from the left.

Yeah, I watched a clip of the flag hug. I found it rather, odd. Reminded me of a toddler giving an awkward hug to a confused golden retriever. Not sure why that imagery, but there it is, the inner workings of GTH's brain.

When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.

Why doesn't it surprise me that Trump would literally wrap himself in the flag? Trump's flair for the theatrical perhaps?

I’m supposed to be ashamed? .

You should be ashamed if you think those children were coached and you are propagating that bull***t theory.

Of course boarder security is important. If they feel they have to detain the parents at the moment, then perhaps they should consider detaining them with their children - obviously not in a prison. If there is no suitable accommodation then perhaps they should consider carrying on with the previous policy until at least moderately ethically appropriate arrangements can be made.

The reason other presidents wouldn't do this is not because they were your clumsy caricature of a weak liberal, but because it is just the wrong thing to do.

Donald Trump gives big hug to American flag

Since he believes he is the state, I think he just groped himself?

It just goes to illustrate Al Franken's statement:

"“We love America just as much as they do. But in a different way. You see, they love America like a 4-year-old loves his mommy. Liberals love America like grown-ups. To a 4-year-old, everything Mommy does is wonderful and anyone who criticizes Mommy is bad."

And the flag is like a teddy bear.

Actually, if you watch the video, it was technically the flag wrapped with a Trump. Not sure if that makes it any better...

What is actually going on is systematic child abuse being justified by hiding behind an unjust law.

What is actually going on is emotionless narcissists in lockstep with their narcissist leader are criticising actual human beings for having emotions and caring about the welfare of children.

What is actually going on is that there is a particular group of Americans who are raising their own children in their likeness to be devoid of compassion, and possibly even emotion. These children are the future fascists of America who will perpetuate the sickness that is becoming prevalent in your society.

You, logger, have made it abundantly clear that you are in favor of American society moving in this direction. Everything you post points to fascist ideology. All that remains is for you to confirm it instead of hiding behind weasel words. Will/can you do that?

That’s nonsense. Hillary tried and Obama almost succeeded in taking over our healthcare. That is fascism. Social security, fascism. I could go on and on how your hero’s have mixed government and private business all in the name of fairness and what government ought to do.

The left has always been the fascist. Criminey sakes what do you think democrat socialism is?

No he *********** DIDN'T! That you repeat this lie over and over demonstrates just how brainwashed some become. You keep pretending that Trump's actions are not new and we all know better.
