I'd like to up your challenge to the readers just a bit - revisit kindergarten. Play, appreciate what you have, and if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.

Coming from a right-wing conservitave, I would have to say that this is what we on the right want from those on the left. I do realize that in my own party, we do have some people that cannot engage in a conversation where difference of their ideology is discussed, and they would be quick to close their eyes and ears to those differences. What bugs me about both sides is that these are the people that want to name call and point fingers rather than discussing rational and logical solutions to today's problems in society. Believe me, I studied different governments throughout the world and we have it very good when we look at it for a moment. The problem lies in when people focus on the problems rather than focus on the solutions to the problems. I think that people on the right do not like discussing politics or morality with the left is because they feel that when they would talk to democrats it would seem that democrats only view the right as "bible-thumping" and judgmental to people who are not of the same moral standard. Therefore, democrats already feel on the defense when talking to conservatives when they need not to be on the defense. It is not right to morally judge those outside of your religion, and if some christian desides to try to judge non-christians and you see it, tell them to read 1 Corinthians 5:12. "What business is it of yours to judge those outside of the Church? Aren't you supposed to judge those on the inside? Let God take care of the one's outside, you need to expel the wicked from amoungst yourselves." I want to see an effort to fully and logically understand political views other than what you either have grown up with or have taken from your peers in High School and college. There is where real growth occurs. I agree with you both.
