I did not read your post yesterday but I will seek it out.
As for “single-issue republicans” - allow me to clarify myself. There were individuals who felt that because they opposed me in one area they must oppose me in all others.
Frankly, I had a letter to the editor published in which I attempted to stress that conservatism was not monolithic and I used a conservative argument for extending civil marriage to homosexuals as an example. This led some people to believe I was now a dire enemy and that they were duty bound to oppose every action I attempted to take. This sort of obstructionism even extended to opposing requests that I had made to erect stop sign in my neighborhood. Even traffic safety considerations had to bend to their desire to oppose me.
Those people made a firm decision that one point of disagreement made me 100% traitor.
You can’t work with that.
If I didn’t know them so well before that incident it would be almost impossible for me to believe that these people were really interested in working for the common welfare.
And I do believe this is becoming endemic in GOP circles. Did you see the debate last night between Liz Cheney and Joan Walsh? (Welsh? She’s from Salon.com) They were both asked what they might possibly have in common. Liz Cheney pushed back HARD saying that they had NOTHING in common. Joan Welsh was able to say that she felt they both at least desired to keep America safe and that Hezbollah losing in the elections was a good thing.
Who looked more reasonable there?
As for why there is a nearly universal Hegelian split in political positions ... well .. I have my own theories about that but they are also firmly grounded ion my understanding of human psychology. As such they almost certainly reveal more about my personal psychology than they do about that situation. *grin* An eternal circle. If I have any useful ideas or reading I will pass them along.
I don’t believe you and I will reach any common ground on this matter as I do not believe that Moslems must renounce their faith in order to be good neighbors.
Literally neighbors in my case. They invite me over for dinner and movies a lot. I think they’re trying to hook me up with her sister.
I'm afraid we're going to have very little in common after all.
Yes, the guard was black. In 1981 he charged the president and Federal Reserve with sedition/treason and wanted to mke a citizen’s arrest. Sound familiar anyone???
It wasn’t commonalities that interested me. But I take your meaning.
These type of things unfortunately happen more often when we have the most divisive president ever.
The first Muslim terrorist attack broke Bush’s eight year record of no attacks, but this story will get all the press that the terrorist attack did not.
The heel-clicking side.
Billbrock of wikipedea should be scrutinized.
Bump
Considering your defense of moslems as social conservatives I'm a but surprised by your own position.
Why don’t I ever make it on the comment highlights when these threads are crossposted at DKos?
Video included articles for the most part. Some you may have seen in different form and some not at all.

That goes back quite a long way.

Thanks for the ping!
*grin* I didn’t say that it was my own position. I merely said that it was a defensible position and that a conservation of institutions argument could be made.
Parties aren’t parties because people agree with one another - there is nothing at all interesting or special about people working together that all agree with one another. Parties are arranged so that people can work together in spite of disagreements. I think this is one of those issues. I thought it was especially one of those issues here because the person I was defending was running for a position that essentially amounted to Traffic Warden Extraordinaire here in Texas. I didn’t see a connection between human sexuality and getting all the traffic lights synced up and posting new signs since the old ones were so worn as to be unreadable.
I end up falling back on that old quote from Reagan that “Somebody that votes with me 80% of the time is my friend and ally. Not a 20% traitor.”
Do share the link if you weren’t joking. I’m always interested to see what sort of monstrous paranoid thing I am to others. I have an old roommate that has a diary there now. (He really should know better.)
