General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: I don't like conservatives. [View all]or just so damn old that I know that the time is on our side again. When I was speaking I was talking about showing the uncommitted/semi-committed the difference between our behavior, language, and practices and that of the hard right. That far right wing is a minority; and they know it which is why they yell so loudly.
When and if we stoop to Rove's. O'Reilly's, Limbaugh's tactics we are lost even to ourselves for we have become no different. When we tell anyone that they only way to think and act is from our liberal standpoint we are no longer liberals.
Let the jerks on the far right punch a pillow that can't lose its shape but stays staunchly and firmly itself until they surrender in frustration.
Oh and the Christ crucified thing...we celebrate that not the Roman Empire which was beginning its downward slide in 4 BCE. They couldn't break the idea of life having meaning beyond the material one and that all share in creation not just the 1% Patricians.
