If I may give my two cents.
What rammer is saying (or I should say, what *I* am saying), is liberals don't think intellectually. They form opinions based on emotion.
No way can anyone in their right mind think Maxine Waters is speaking from an intelligent position. She's speaking to a liberal crowd that she knows are lemmings - they base their opinions on emotions. And what dear, sweet Maxine is doing is stirring a pot. She's become the female version of Rev Jesse Jackson - doesn't really believe what she's saying but if it will ultimately put votes (or money) in her pocket, she' will stand tall on her pulpit and open her mouth.
On a related note, does any thought provoking person think that the majority of protesters against ICE and the immigration issue that separates families REALLY CARES about these families?! Of course not. It just gives them an opportunity to protest against a Trump policy (that was instituted under our previous fearless (and gutless) leader, that great Obama).
I'll start respecting liberal opinions when I see they come from an intellectual position and I say to myself..'hey, that position spoken from that liberal is worth considering'. Yea...conservatives think that way. Conservatives consider positions that primarily serve the greater good first (then themselves). Liberals take positions that benefit themselves first, the public second.
