It’s nice to see someone on the left choosing not to be a hater.

However, I would point out to her that when using her “ABC” method (when conversing with those with whom she disagrees), that she add an additional ‘C’ - Consider. That is, *Consider* that your Aunt Lucy just might be *right*, and what you’ve been taught is wrong.

Good contribution to the discussion.

I think people are getting hung up on whether Fox News is conservative or not.

The real discussion should be the process of discourse.

Personally, I know enough of Leftism that it is based fundamentally on a faulty premise (that Utopia is achievable and that evil can be eradicated by eliminating things like poverty, ignorance, and disease) and that anything coming out of that flawed foundation is going to be fundamentally flawed as well, with some exceptions.

That said, I have stopped listening to leftist arguments because they almost all spring from that same well. Often they are not interested in discourse anyway. I am going out to dinner with a leftist who is a good friend next week, and if she wants to talk politics, I will gently suggest I am not interested.

We have talked politics before and she respects my point of view, but I am too angry right now about what I see going on with Mueller et al.
