In your day to day life, if you incounter people who say things so bad that you find them repugnant, do you embrace them or do you look at them negatively.
Because in my mind, when anyone says something so opposed to my belief structure that I find it repugnant or any other word describing great revulsion, I do not mark that person in the ‘good’ box. That person defined themselves to me. And I will never look at them the same way again. Because that is human nature. You MAY eventually get by it. But none of us ever eliminate that impression ‘repugnant’ leaves on us.
When a political type makes me apply such a label, I think it is suicidal to support them because they defined themselves to me as someone to oppose so that I do not subject myself or others to more ‘repugnant’.
I merely corrected a statement about Perry’s support of a border fence. I didn’t say I support him for POTUS after that remark.
