So, you wouldn't mind the bus driver proselytizing your young children?

Or would it depend on the subject matter?

I don't think she was trying to convert a child to a particular religion.

Is it proselytizing for a driver to tell kids to treat others with respect, if the driver mentions it at some point when there is no bullying going on?

You know, some folks seem to be implying that the driver is not allowed to talk about anything in which she believes strongly.

Wouldn't it be a strange world, if we were only allowed to talk about things we didn't care about?

If Democrats have deep beliefs about helping people and then talk earnestly about those beliefs, are they proselytizing? Are Democrats restricted to talking about issues they feel lukewarm about?

We don't dismiss Democrats' arguments merely because they believe something strongly or deeply. That would be dishonest and underhanded. Methods like that are usually employed to win an argument that is being lost.

Don't you find it ironic that Democrats like to label Conservatives as cold-hearted at the same time that they tell the Conservatives that they shouldn't believe anything too strongly.
