Being an enlightened, educated, open minded person is a motherf***er |
|
I have finally and belatedly come to the realization that giving the benefit of the doubt to the fundie/neocon crowd is only going to encourage their ignorant and destructive tendencies and actions.
I readily admit I will never understand their hard core jingoistic, simplistic mind set.
And, I have now seen that they will never respond to logic, Socratic debates, overwhelming scientific evidence or constitutional directives.
I am left to hope that our numbers are at least the twice of theirs. And to, fervently hope that, just because they are willing to scream, bully and demand, the enlightened among us will prevail.

2. Ain't it the truth that ignorance is bliss!......I think I have 25 ulcers. |

now from reading DU and watching C-Span and cursing and screaming at the TV.
But, today, I was screaming in pure joy!!!!!!! Thank G_d for John Conyers, et. al., and our saints in England, Michael Smith and our own British Deep Throat! May he keep them coming so that the pile is so high and so incriminating that there would no way the criminals could lie their way out. I pray that they will all be hauled before the Hague!

3. You can converse with moderates in the middle, but not hardliners |
|
Forget the hardliners. You may as well be talking to a brick wall. You're more likely to make progress with moderates instead of hardliners.
