Paul,
I find the language offensive, but I don't believe it will be the downfall
of America. It is the lack of education, that forces uneducated people like
jps, Kevin and Harry to use profanity that will be the downfall of America.

A timely article
http://realclearpolitics.com/Comment..._11_05_DP.html

Not a week goes by that some part of the Left does not hurt America. But
in
the past two weeks, three examples stood out for the degree of such harm.

The first example involved the ACLU, which has threatened Southwest
Airlines
with a lawsuit. Southwest ordered a passenger off a flight after she
refused
to cover her T-shirt on which was printed an expletive -- "Fu--ers" --
referring to President George W. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

The ACLU position is not surprising. That organization had once defended a
high school student whose school had prohibited him from wearing to class
a
T-shirt that read "Big Pecker."


I have previously noted in this column the widespread approval of foul
language on the Left, such as the expletive-filled entertainment at a John
Kerry fundraiser organized by MoveOn.org. Nor is it surprising that a high
percentage of my e-mail from people on the Left contains obscenities. To
most Americans, the huge increase in public cursing is a sign of a
deteriorating civilization; to the Left it is a sign of a freer, less
hypocritical one.

Doug,
Do you read rec.boats? It is the liberals in rec.boats who relish in
using
vulgar terms (ie ****head, ****head, rectal fissure, etc). The
conservative
argue just as much as the liberals, just without the vulgar terms.

I read a lot of political blogs

I don't read any. Got better things to do.

And (this may be a cruel thing to say) if this is what shapes your
political morals, then I'm glad I don't read blogs and will
deliberately

stay away from them.


On average, I read an equal amount of left wing and right wing blogs

Yeah I bet.


My observation is that the liberal/lefties are much more vulgar

Well, that may be true in blog-world but it's the exact opposite in the
real world.

Look at the postings in this newsgroup. Who is it that uses the most
vulgar terms? JohnH, "Bert Robbins" P-Fritz etc etc. In other words,
the
Hate-Clinton Club for Angry White Men.




On the other hand the other side of the aisle tends to be much more
civil and language tends to be much less hyperbolic.

No, the righties just tend to lie a lot, and when they can't think of a
good enough lie, they call names. You yourself cussed me out not long
ago.
Perhaps you've forgotten.
