For many years I have felt that for all our disagreements between liberal and conservative individuals there was a shared position by both sides. A loyal opposition to the opposition.
For the time being I believe the majority of the conservatives of America have thrown down this national system of civil loyalty in politics in place of a pure obstructionist agenda.
I have not heard any amount of logical rebuttal to an Obama policy or policy proposal, except in very rare cases.
I find I cannot listen to the standard bearers of GOP right wing radio these days. Like most people I have my ‘hang-ups.’
Dismissive attitudes and screaming people down end up on my list.
Every time I have been listening to conservative talk radio, or GOP responses, since the election of Barack Obama I am disgusted by the complete lack of integrity and grace in politics.
Reducing everything down to simply ‘name-calling’ is not the issue. Though it is important thing to avoid as much as possible.
Not sticking to the facts about our democratic representatives and our recent national historical history is unpatriotic.
I wish it were not so. And no group can claim to innocent of some form of vitriol in these times.
But not having an actual political dialogue and instead presenting vague facts along with connect-the-dots logic is simply dirty pool.
