Hey ttbn,
"black female senator, Warren...".
- You got them mixed up.

Elizabeth Warren is the one they call 'pocahontas' because of her claimed Indian heritage.
The black female senator you're referring to is loopy Maxine Waters.

Hey there Belly,
"...if I want to insult you you will know it.".
Yeah I know.
"Know too, either you and a few rabid supporters who dislike me enough to take offense at me saying good morning, are wrong or I am."

Now that's wrong.
Firstly don't assume I don't like you.
Because I don't necessarily dislike you at all.
I just argue the content;
(and much of yours seems outdated, or misguided)
- I didn't mean to be so hard on you first thing in the morning, if you took it that way.

"This one point I can not understand, how did so many extremist right wingers get to gather on this forum?"

'extremist'?
- You make out like were all gathering for nefarious means, instead of just discussing social and political issues.

Hey Philip S
"You are delusional, you see or read things that are not there."
Well, no-ones perfect, but are you sure?

"Please show me how I attacked the person who made the video?"

You didn't directly attack Dennis Prager, but you did so indirectly in the way you changed to issue from 'content' to 'author'.

Now ask yourself 'Is this an answer that holds merit?'

You didnt have any criticisms (for or against, or both) of the content of the video and you instead tried to write-off the content as being just the opinion of one person.
Now just one look at that video shows 5million views in a few weeks and 30,000 likes, so clearly it can't be written off as the opinion of just one person; if others support it.
Now maybe all these people supporting it are all delutional (like me), in the same way that progressive peoples videos probably get likes from other weird progressives;
So what we have to do is look carefully at the 'content' and see if what was said holds merit.
That's a key thing, 'If what was said holds merit'.

AC,

Yes, you are correct. I did mean Maxine Waters. Thankyou.

[Cont.]
So let me go about it a different way.

Let's say Dennis Prager said "The sky is blue."
Are you going to lower us all to child's logic and say "Well that's just the opinion of one person."

Regards my earlier comment that "Belly probably saw it"; well I didn't go back and check the thread like you did.
- And if you say that Belly didn't even comment on that thread; then maybe he didn't see it and I was wrong.
But so what? I did say 'assume', and I do sometimes get things wrong.
And I always post video links and Belly never watches them.
(Well I don't think he does.)

If you wish me to apologise for my error then sure, I don't see why I shouldn't.
- I'm sorry if I falsely accused you of deliberately not watching my video Belly.

"With the final point I am pointing out there are differences of opinion on all subject just because someone disagrees with your view does not call for the unwarranted words you used on him."

Well it depends on a persons beliefs and sensibilities I guess.
Because I have to be honest and say that I believe this:
'If someone says or does something stupid, that I have a right (an obligation even) to point out that what that person said or did was stupid.'
It's 'my obligation' to give 'basic humility' in such a manner that does not harm, but acts in a way that someone might think twice before they say or do said stupid thing again.

Get it?

- Basically it's a non-violent form of correction, no different to when some fool; who, not watching where they are going, trips over and you laugh at them.

You may not hold the same opinions as I do.

AC I rather like you too, true, but as said earlier we will think differently on just about everything.
Old fashioned ideas? no informed ones, morning read, before visiting here, Sydney Morning Herald, ABC online, Al Jaz,BBC findtime during day to read USA news sites and follow up storys about politics.
This thread is about both Trumps weirdness, and the Democrats re building, see American interviews from both sides, in many sites.
It is TRUE Democrats had found the very bottom in 2016, with unwanted Hillary.
True to that Trump promised Americas rusty steel belt something better, in the short term he delivered.
But his trade war has his own side more than concerned.
So while I am not sure the Democrats have yet polished all the faults out I am sure they are in two years, headed for government
