I think human kind can and should do better than that......
Yet you started a thread doing just that...
"to balance out the anti-republican partisanship"
BB doesn't have the same hate tactics/skills as LJ (none that I can see anyway) but I think it's fair to add some balance when she goes off on her usual "your guy sucks, therefore you suck too" bullshit.
Anyone with a brain knows that there are a relatively equal number of scumbags on both sides of politics... but rather than discuss the the actual issues, it's much easier to just find the bad apples and use them to paint everyone else in order to make one's self look superior. Just like racism and general bigotry.
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
It's hard to solve a problem when none of the parties involved can/will agree on what the problem is. The solution is in the simple steps and that is what I think so many of us find so frustrating.
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.
