Thanks for your honesty. I also have to admit I purposely used those terms to get a response and didn't need to be quite so abrasive.
While expressing what we think of each other's mental processes of those that we may not agree with us may give us some personal enjoyment, it does not really don't address the issues at hand. I, for one, will no longer do so, even if it is in response to others that do.
Richard and I have had a good off record discussion, and I think both of us will try to stick to the issues and not make personal snide remarks designed to inflame each other rather than discuss the merits or lack thereof about the issues in our posts. With that understanding, I will rejoin and respond to his posts. I respect his position and enjoy his passion, even if I don't agree with him on most issues. At least he HAS an opinion.
That's the purpose of these forums. If we can respect each other's opinion, while we may not agree with it, then we maybe we can understand the reasoning behind those differences, and maybe even agree on those issues that we share and perhaps even work together for a solution where we don't.
But the name calling and personal insult don't encourage that. There are so few here that actually will post here, knowing the personal attack that they can expect to follow. It seems a pretty lonely place. Maybe if we can be civil to one another, that will change, and others will join in. Otherwise, it's pretty much two guys and a few others watching.
I love this country, and the people that live here including those folks who think Trump is the answer to their prayers. I don't think all Trump supporter's are delusional or racists. At the same time, I am very concerned with the state of things and fear things will get worse. Opening the door to having a civil conversation rather than a confrontation one may be a small step to avoid that outcome.
As for idiots in Congress, I think there are more than enough to go around on both sides.
