“”Shes being fair and many of her followers are hating on her. I give her credit for not backing down. It would be nice if more democrats had her attitude.””
And others (here for example) hate her just because she’s a liberal and a lesbian and didn’t hear one word she said! Typical! Your statement is 100% accurate. Would they prefer the hating to go on and on and not try to adopt the attitude that Ellen has? No wonder we’ll never make it out of this mess! They don’t know when they hate they are no better than the left?
Bushitler criticized OrangeManBad
When things start getting so toxic that it becomes an us vs them environment, I try to remind myself that that’s not particularly healthy. I dont agree with any other person 100% of the time, so I ought not cut out those with whom I agree on many, many issues. Sometimes, it’s good to agree to disagree, and then just get along despite our differences.
Love your post. You are so right. But we are here in the midst of a lot of “judges” and superior human beings. Guess we’re supposed to acknowledge their superiority. I have nothing against Ellen - she is a great comedian and her statement proves she is more than a celebrity... Couldn’t the nation use more humor?
Why would she be in trouble for sitting beside another globalist liberal?
“Notice no one is giving Bush a hard time for hanging out with Ellen?”
There is probably very little they disagree on. It makes perfect sense for those two to be hanging out. Maybe his “brother from another mother” (as he called him) Bill Clinton was busy that day.

I’ll second that!
See post #18
For example, lots of conservatives nowadays champion Alan Dershowitz because of his steadfast support for Trump legally, even though Alan remains a rabid pro-abortionist and anti-2nd Amendment guy. How many people would go to the ballgame with Dershowitz?
Same thing with Camille Paglia - she gets a LOT right but people choke on her being a lesbian.
In fact, Trump is a NYC guy. It is VERY hard to live and work in Manhattan and not encounter every permutation of humanity for some extended period of time. Also, his business - construction - means he's encountered even more 'normal' people than, say, a hedge fund guy. Thus, he's comfortable with all sorts of types, and to be fair many of us probably have never met a gay construction worker so maybe we can't relate. All good and all fair.
This flag came out after the Orlando massacre. I think it is polarizing but it makes you think about what is that deal-breaker. That is, are pro-gun gays more likely to be rejected by the left or right? If they were Trump supporters, is their "lifestyle" a Bridge too far for the right, or is their pro-gun and political leaning too much for the left?
Peter Thiel doesn't concern me. People in favor of free trade don't concern me. People who don't immunize or who prefer Whole Foods to 'regular' stores don't concern me. Tolerance doesn't concern me.
People who tell me I have to change my morals and values to theirs or else...they concern me.
Of course she’s a Bush lover.
RE: Of course shes a Bush lover.
I’m not sure that she voted for W. over Gore or Kerry.
Spot-on and well said, brother.
Ellen seems personable, and so does Bush. I wouldn’t object to watching a ballgame with them. On the other hand, there are plenty of nasty leftist creeps I wouldn’t enjoy being with. I wouldn’t necessarily start a fight with them, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to be nice, either.
And............she still hasn't been seen with a Republican. A Repugnant, maybe. RINO, definitely. But not a Republican.
Hope she notices that.
“Have you noticed that nobody from the Bush camp is furious and outraged that GWB sat with Ellen?”
Actually I did in another post but it was in the “It’s a big club and you’re not in it” category. :)
So Ellen the Lefty received hundreds of concerned emails and tweets from her fans and friends expressing outrage. Aren’t her followers supposed to respect and accept others?
I’ll bet George Bush didn’t receive ONE email of concern.
What does this tell us about Leftists?
So stuttering drunk George Junior took his lips off of a Saudi prince long enough to appear in public? Good for him! Wonder if he got a chance to stammer gibberish about “no borders no nations”?
