If these people cannot proffer discourse in a discussion, their
opinions are not due consideration. This is part of the problem, one of
the great ills of this country.
Why is it always Liberals/Progressives/Democrats/Rationalists who
must cede to the crazy & hatred of the right. As though, the more
coarse and intolerant they are strengthens their argument. Where is the
call for them to give consideration to rational, thoughtful and humane
ideas?
When republicans choose to put on the big boy pants, only then can
there be negotiations. If we cede, we condone and they win, their
winning means this country loses.
