Your post benefited me, but I fear it was wasted on the recipient.

To: Lazamataz; Liberal Classic
Laz, thanks so much for the comment.

I know how easily it is for us to get frustrated, from time to time, about all sorts of aspects to the forum we all enjoy. My remembering this section of Chesterton (which has been of great benefit to me over the years) wasn't meant to condemn our author of this thread, but to merely give him something to reflect upon after the usual feedback.

I had a dinner the other night with some very good friends, some of whom happen to be liberals. When the discussions turned to current events, it is stuff like Chesterton that lets me comment in a more reflective manner and thereby possibly find common ground for change rather than breach old friendships.

We aren't in the business of promoting one issue or one office holder here. But we surely aren't in the forum to tear one down all the time either.
