San Antonio officer shot to death during traffic stop
A San Antonio police officer was shot to death during a traffic stop Sunday in what the department's chief described as a targeted killing similar to recent police shootings in Dallas, Texas, and Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Detective Benjamin Marconi, a 20-year veteran of the department, was shot in his patrol car outside police headquarters, Chief William McManus said Sunday in a news conference. Marconi was 50 years old |

It were the liberal movements that freed us Europeans from the Church and fundamentalist Christian ideology ruling us (and they also played a huge part in replacing monarchs and other noblemen from power)
I'd also argue your initial point of the thread, that gay people will not stop until everyone is gay. They simply want to not be treated as sick perversions for having perfectly consensual grown up love relations with each other. |

By:
Personally i don't agree with gays & certainly not gay marriage. (thats just my opinion)
Thanks for clearing that up edy. but surely the liberal views you speak of have become extreme in what we see now? |

By:
will the democrats be rioting over YET ANOTHER shot police officer?

By:
Will those same self liberal elements play a huge part in replacing the most misogynist and homophobic cult we have let more of into europe?
Or will they simply not just standby, but actually promote, the burgeoning hegemony of the this cult. |

If Donny boy is now president why does he keep going on twatter to complain about Alec Baldwin and also complain about his side kick 10pence getting booed at a musical on broadway

Complaining about a satirical show that takes the p1ss out of the big fat bigot , I mean grown up Donald and save the forgotten people like you promised

We are reaping the result of actions and inaction of successive governments in this country (more than a decade) and in the EU. We on the left have no answer. A complete re-think is needed.

He's not POTUS yet though anxious.
Id imagine if you had over 15 million followers on Twitter its pretty hard to get away from |

No but the lump of lard should stop complaining and whinging if you cant stand the heat get out of the fookin kitchen

ebul gery says he is on the Left.
but this new supposed Left is something people would surely not want to connect themselves to? this breed have two modes 1) Violent mode 2) Cry Baby mode This is a new breed that surely people on the Left would want to distance themselves from? Yes? No? |

There's nothing extreme about seeking a society with some social justice and in which people are simply left the fook alone for what they are and what they do as long as they don't hurt anyone.
Methodically liberal movements are certainly not any more extreme than what they used to be. They've actually forgotten how to fight and truly stand up against the forces that cling to a society in which people are privileged or discriminated on the basis of their skin colour, gender, social status of parents or for having consensual love relationships with people of the same sex. |

By:
Listen there is nothing new in all this recent stuff, the scapegoat culture has been seen before now whilst I agree that immigration is a concern to many people and we should tackle it in a fair and practical way what I don't agree with is sections of society being picked on and blamed for everything that goes wrong
|
|
By:
Actually, there is extreme thing. A very, very small, but incredibly loud, minority is trying to enforce a silly amount of pc and micro-aggression management. A curse of the internet really and that there are some people who only seem to feel alive if they're enraged and insulted by everything.
|
|
By:
but that is in no way representative of the overall liberalism and is nothing more than a silly temporary thing.

do you agree with all the Trump protesting going on anxious?

What do you guys think Helmut Kohl would have done in this situation?
|
|
By:
No I don't I say he has won under the rules so let him get on with it
|
|
By:
But what I will say is people are still allowed to criticse him because of his politics
|
|
By:
Kohl, as the very convinced European federalist he is, sharply critisized Merkel for making the decision without the EU partners and said we need to tackle the source of the refugee stream.
|
|
By:
Its like saying I didn't vote for Thatcher but just because she won am I not allowed to say that I still disagree with nearly everything she stood for
|
|
By:
Edy I think most people would agree with that
|
|
By:
Yes -very good point, Edy.
|

By:
that's really what i was trying to say then anxious,
a lot of people on the Left / Liberal views must be getting tarred with the same brush as like the violence in the US / The Remoaners / The snowflake generation. I can understand fair thinking & treating people well(obviously) but it must be awkward when you have these violent types fighting your corner |

Ron these people protesting are not fighting my corner ,the Democratic party in America and indeed the Republicans have both lost their way , im not sure who they represent anymore

Holding posters and placards isn't going to change anything , its silly and childish actually

I think what you may find in the future is single issue groups will rise up and gain support for a while
|
|
By:
actually i think im wrong in comparing.
all though Remainers / Democratic losers appear to be reading from the same book. i don't think we had anywhere near the violence - so we can be pleased about those differences between the 2 ![]() Coming up on Fox after the adverts - what will Trump do about the MSM |
|
By:
wow strong words what this bloke on fox said about the MSM.

Trump is happier than Mrs Clinton...he won and she lost
![]() He will make out all right I am sure. There are plenty of problems to solve. Will keep him busy. |

Which leads me to Trump and that I hope that he won't sabotage the international climate deal. Otherwise especially we Europeans will be in for a lot of climate refugees rather sooner than later.

he is a total **** who will exposed as being out of his depth. Sadly the damage will be done by then.
"Drain the swamp" then employs every yes man insider in the camp, it's a joke but not a very funny one. |

This is why immigration is so dangerous. If millions are allowed into Europe and America from countries that are not democratic and of different culture, and then they can vote as one block being able to get into power and change the culture and freedoms that we enjoy in Europe and theUS.
This is the most dangerous aspect of the EU in that it does not allow individual countries to control their own borders. |
|
By:
Do not forget that Germany will soon have a majority of citizens who are neither Christian or German. They will be determined to continue this open door policy. In theory it is never ending unless the central and east European countries say no, that is not our decision and Germany must not dictate terms.
|
|
By:
Lfc - got a link to the fact that Germany will soon mostly be full of non-Germans?
|

By:
Don't worry, after the UK leaves the EU we'll get all the really faithful Poles and Romanians coming to us to. From already having plenty here, I know they're incredibly hard working and nice people.
Even if they stop coming, it's just ridiculously absurd far-right propaganda that Germany's majority population will not be Christian soon. Unless by non-Christian you mean atheist majority, which would be fabulously awesome but will sadly take some time yet. |
