@Bananamerican:
Sir (or Ms.), I feel your pain. No, I'm not just being silly in this discourse. Points of view must be addressed.
But there's a certain "geist," or spirit of the times, I'm feeling about what's happening in this recent back and forth amongst participants here and elsewhere: an acknowledgement, an awareness that not only awareness is needed, but also action.
Stay on this station. It ain't divisive, not blue/red, left/right, lib/con. It's American. It's right against wrong, regardless of that silly thing called "party."
The small stuff we can take care of about later.

The Truth is right here... err, wait. Well, it WAS there just moments ago!
