The Civility of the Righteous
This is sooo true. I can't count the number of times total strangers as well as friends have energetically insulted me just because they can't fathom the idea that others could support the virtues of limited government and maximum liberty. In the article, I particularly like the anti-tea party comment. I don't know where these people are finding this fictional nemesis. In virtually all video footage, interviews, and writings, the tea parties have shown themselves to be nothing more than citizens opposed to the massive increase of government intrusion in our lives. How progressives are able to see "racism," "fascism," and other extremist traits in a a group of mostly common folks is bizarre and tells us more about the progressives' fantasy world then any real world conditions.
I can't count the number of times I've politely listened to someone ramble insults at me that had no grounding in facts or accurate appraisal of what I believe or have said.
In the end, they're control freaks. The bottom line for most on the left is that the world must change to their model and anyone who doesn't wish to go along for the ride must be brow-beaten into submission or ostracized from public discourse.
..some dignity please.
