Guys...talk all you want but Everyone is starting to loath Republicans over this..Its all on you..
But back to the subject- You know that creepy feeling you get when you see Amish people, or Utah Cult people dressed in 1800's clothing? Thats the feeling I get when I see Republicans.
More than any other subject, apolitical sorts will ask me about Fox News. “Is it really crazy?” my British friends inquire, flashing the sort of smile that a botanist might exhibit while examining a newly discovered species of moss. “Is it, like, really right wing?"...
..."“Biased” doesn’t cut it. To watch MSNBC for an afternoon is not so much to be given a slanted account of what is happening here in America, but instead to witness a series of discussions about current events in parallel America II — a rather silly place in which the political center of gravity and all things Good are defined by the preferences of the faculty at Berkeley and the comments section of the Daily Kos and in which anyone who dissents from this position is believed to possess two heads, a black heart, and a pocket copy of Mein Kampf.
America II, as anyone who watches the channel will discover rather swiftly, hosts a supermajority of well-meaning multi-culti, progressive types whose foolproof plans for explosive economic growth, uniform social justice, and general human utopia are constantly being undone by a blossoming white-supremacist movement, split apart by neo-secessionists, and existentially threatened by traitors whose defining characteristic is a never-quite-explained hatred for progress. America II features no gray areas whatsoever: All local variation is apartheid, each and every identification requirement is the second coming of Jim Crow, all criticism of the government is sedition. It’s exhausting.
Hour by tedious hour, America II is saved from its own worst instincts. What destroyed Detroit, a city that has been run into the ground by Democrats for half a century? “Republicans” and “capitalism,” naturally. A pressing question? “Are conservatives the new Confederates?” A topic worthy of Chris Matthews’s investigation? Whether Sarah Palin can actually read. It’s like watching Mystery Science Theater 3000 — just less realistic."...
Because we aren't just the beliefs of one political group, or ethnic group, or religious group, we are complex beings with a myriad of feelings, beliefs, experiences, and dreams. We all have worth. We all have weaknesses. Until we learn to celebrate those differences as strengths, rather than as weaknesses, this infighting will go on.

Nice piece.
From your link: " The practice I’m about to describe can get abstract or intellectual, so try to bring it down to earth and close to your experience.
When you encounter or talk with someone, instead of reacting to what their body looks like or is doing or what category it falls into:"...
It has been discussed elsewhere but I think that is as good an explanation as any as too why people that I consider friends in real life can make posts that scream "I have sh** for brains". VBG. Course that cuts both ways.
