General Discussion

Clearly, to some people here any criticism of the Party whatsoever is "insulting." Some people take any opportunity to spin the news in such a twisted way as to say Bernie was "normalizing" or "praising" Trump when he merely agreed that getting China involved over NK was the correct thing to do. (Whether the method to get it involved is one I would agree with or not, it is the right thing.) Or they try to make the fallacious argument that defending Ann Coulter's right to speak is the same as supporting her words and beliefs. That kind of intentionally obtuse spinning, that turns a real event on its head and attempts to falsely characterize what happened, then repeat ad nauseum to smear an opponent, is classic Fox News.

Ive heard the following said... sadly, in the past it was how I saw Republicans vs Democrats. Unfortunately here it more aptly refers to a certain small cadre of Democrats as well:

Some people love their country (party) the way a child loves its mother - "My mommy is the bestest and smartest and whatever she does is right no matter what anyone says!'

Some people love their country (party) the way a mother loves her child - "My child has the potential to be the bestest and the smartest, to be the most amazing... and I am going to do everything I can to teach and admonish and guide her, and will correct her course to see that she lives up to her full potential."

Wanting the Democratic Party to live up to the ideals it was built upon is not insulting. Admonishing it when it behaves counter to its core is not detracting. Telling it is wrong sometimes is necessary to ensure it reaches the true potential we all want and need it to achieve.
