A liberating realization

Published by Karl under Uncategorized

The exchange with that liberal knee jerk specialist has been continuing, but I don’t think I want to post any more about it.

I took a moment to email Goldy, the blog site host and express my apology for letting a group of comments get so out of hand.

Frankly looking at the other posts and comments, I was in a mild debate, by comparison, so I don’t feel too bad.

But I also realized that I was finding a lot of value in the liberal blogs I have read, not that I plan to be a bleeding heart liberal any time soon.

What I noticed as I cruised the comments to Goldy’s blogs, is that the sentiments expressed by my adversary ‘C’ were commonly expressed by most of the liberal defenders. The usage of “Wingnut” to label and marginalize the Christian and or conservatives was common. Wacko was another common term.

What I also noticed to my dismay is how many conservatives were also using the same foolish tactics, attacking Goldy for his views and attacking his defenders. Some I admit were eloquent, but most were simply annoying.

I have to retract part of what I said previously. I felt that the Liberals were more likely to resort to this, but sadly I was wrong. Both sides are about the same in that regard, with the only tangible difference being the extent of the insult. I still say liberals are more likely, by a small margin, to be insulting and use profanity, but only by that small margin.

Sadly its happening out in the real world as well. For every knee jerk accusation from one side, comes a counter form the other. Newtons law at work: For every liberal action is an equal and opposite conservative reaction and vice a versa. For every Al Franken and Randi Rhodes is a Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter.

I suddenly find myself in fairly uncharted territory.
