"Disgust" is your sensationalized version of what's happening. On
the left, we consider it discourse, dissent, a challenge to do the
right thing.

On the right it's considered unpatriotic, sedition or appeasement.




Thanks for bringing this subject up. I don't agree with you.

It seems to me from watching and reading the various media outlets and
catching the buzz word phrases and talking points of both the lefty lefts
and the righty rights that the lefties have adopted a "we are smarter, we
are better, we are the enlightened, we are right (correct) attitude. It's at
the expense of those who don't share their viewpoints by referring to their
"inferior" status. The words "elitist" and "snob" come to mind very
quickly.

The righty rights have not picked up this habit yet, at least not to the
degree the lefty lefts have.

Why should they? They just call opponents gun-grabbers, baby-killers,
socialists or commies. No need to use fancy words.
You can't seriously believe that Hannity/Limbaugh think their ****
stinks more than Olbermann's.


Examples are available daily right here in this newsgroup.

That's for sure. But don't mistake who are the "elitists."
Both sides think they are the true champions, have nothing but
contempt for the other side, and their "leaders" have the little guys
fighting each other. It's good for their business.
Not much different from major league soccer. The guys putting on the
show get rich, and the spectators cry in their beer at losses, cheer
small victories, and occasionally the hooligans riot.
Nothing new.
Your main choice is whether or not to show up for the games.

If you don't show up, you're just another spectator.

Everybody here is a spectator. The only game is election day.
But the real fans can argue off-season.
Of course there may be some political activists here who actually
participate in politics when they're not boating.
Personally, I find their boats more interesting.
Most can talk real nuts and bolts about boat, but they're just nuts
when talking politics.

I disagree.

Make enough of a stink and the pols will pay attention, even during the
off-season.

Even the boating pols.
But you can give it a try.

It's more likely that we're all wire tapped.

"They" are compiling a list of anti-government gun owners for when
Bernie Sanders heads out to socialize the country with the help of
Waco ATF veterans. I hear they're painting the choppers black.
