That’s fine, and I wholeheartedly agree and share your sentiments.
However, you said “Forgot the people who are dumbed down and have little respect for constructive debate.”
I just found that to be a curious statement in light of the back and forth going on—which, correct me if I’m wrong—you were addressing.
So, I cannot help but ask again, are you saying that the people here—arguing with savedbygrace—are dumbed down and having little respect for constructive debate?
And to be clear, I do think that is a low blow accusation for those people arguing with savedbygrace this morning.
In fact, I saw/see it as just the opposite.
We all need to be aware our words sometimes can give away both our praise and contempt for others. The hate* is not some separate thing from the “others”, but part of us all.
*Hate: How I hate that word! It is more accurate to say mean, as in to be mean, or rude, or inconsiderate.
I do not like convolution, false analogy, and other disingenuous lawyer tricks with the English language, but rather plain speak.
I know what I hear (see) and will take notice.
I totally disagree with savebygrace. It is impossible to argue with certain people who want to be right all the time. I tend to walk away after spending too much time, without reaching an understanding. What they think they are not going to change. Why waste time trying to reach certain people. When I was younger, I was a little bit liberal. Now, I am very conservative. It took me a long time to become a true conservative. Trump is the best candidate. I have met him and believe he will be a great President.
