[PatrickHenry]

Not getting the benevolent reaction you hoped for, are you? This is a tough crowd. Anyway ...

Merry Christmas to all!

In the spirit of Christmas, I will refrain from commenting about Liberals, gay marriage, etc.

Merry Christmas, Carlo.

Carlo..I've thought about this quite a bit today (while finishing my baking!) since I first read your post this morning.

Each time I came up with an idea I thought I could meet a liberal halfway on, I realized something. When talking with liberals- there is never an "If, then..." We do not agree on the very fundamentals in the FIRST place..the first place being the "if" such and such is true, "then" will you agree, or disagree ...that...etc.

I'm sure there are more eloquent words to describe my idea- but as I thought about your post it began to dawn on me..we have no starting point with libs. No mutually agreed on reality. Compromise? Whether or not it's desirable- is almost beside the point.

For example- in a marriage, or business partnership, let's say the two people have differing ideas on how to accomplish a goal. We see this all the time, don't we? One gives a little..the other concedes a bit, eventually an agreement is reached.

My experience with liberals makes me always wonder what their GOAL is. If I think I've pinned it down..before I know it, they've changed it. The more I've seen this- the more I conclude they haven't principals...they have ideas.. These ideas change with their mood, the market, the season, you name it.

You see the problem? We share space with libs..and I'm hard pressed to find much else. We don't even share a common history- as they're continually attempting to re-write it.

I appreciate your attempt Carlo-and thought it would be an easy thing to do- but find on reflection- it is not.

I think it's truly conservative to conserve the environment by not poisoning it or using good bottom land for houses that could be growing food.

I also am fine with baby seals not being clubbed.

I am also in favor of industrial hemp being grown commercially.

Merry Christmas!

But carlo, you're giving in waaay too much. You think liberals will give you the same surrender? No way!

I'll start with,

And on earth, Peace, to men of good will.

...and then I'll list my dreams for political peace when I've a bit more time...

Thanks for your thoughfulness over the years and Merry Christmas...Heard a joke last night on Leno about the fact that while we manage to have 8days for Channuka y'all took 12 days of Christmas. Since we celebrate both I am exhausted.
