Jed Marum, Merry Christmas! Maybe you're stretching it? accusing people with strong opinions of hate and bigotry, as if conservatives were an oppressed underclass.

Hoping to open my mind I've re-read your posts, and all you've offered is to patronise someone with a life-lesson about dogs and cats getting along (without quite getting around to offering your own answer to the question) and accuse others generally of hate and bigotry, and now of having closed minds. Your point is--what? Come, be like us, it's better this way? Unless you'd care to enlighten everyone, offer some perspective--as some others have, maybe you're being a bit silly with that routine.

Your above post sounds pretty smug--perhaps you could attempt to address the topic What IS a conservative before you set up to judge everyone else's posts in that tone.
