It's not a question of equating the Right and the Left. I much prefer the political Left to the political Right.

It's a question of identifying the toxic individuals and their toxic behaviour ON both the Right and the Left, individuals who engage in the same kind of ceaseless emotional crap, personal attacks, gross stereotyping, and extreme negativity whenever talking to or about anyone they think is on "the other side" of any argument whatsoever...or in the other party.

I don't care if those individuals are people on the Right or the Left, they are ALL acting like jerks, and it doesn't help the situation one bit. It poisons the dialogue. It reduces everything to shit (if I may speak metaphorically).


GfS - I think you are absolutely right in your post of 03 Aug 11 - 02:39 PM . As usual. Many people are too cynical to appreciate such idealism. I'm glad to see that you are not.
