It grieves me to listen to characterizations by right wing talkshow hosts, as if we're some sort of small, secret threat to freedom, or liberty or America. We are all working next to each other, related to each other, doing business with other, caring for each other, and we've been driven to extremes. When any group is categorically demonized, it hurts everyone. I hope I'm aware and stop myself before I drop into the same trap.
