I believe in progress, in moving forward, in extending rights, in scientific development, in opening doors, in making sure the "play" is fair. I don't believe in scapegoating, in blaming one ethnic group or another for our society's failures, or in trying to get ahead by scaring large blocks of nervous people. /snip You are suggesting that "the other side" does not want "scientific development" (which is code for you want no compromise on stem cell research whatsoever) and you got the LaRaza line down for the rest of the paragraph, suggesting that the other side is not for "fair play" which of course is code for "no id's required, free lunch time", and the whole "scaring large blocks of people" is directed at republicans, even though the whole "we are gonna' have 8% unemployment if we don't pay off the unions right now", and "the big bad republicans are sneaking outside money (like the millions the dems got from Soros and the Chinese Military in the last few elections) in to "steal" the election when the dems still have the same money coming in, plus millions from undocumented donations through the Labor Unions.... I've made no such suggestion. I've merely stated that I am a progressive and have certain beliefs and values based upon my position as a progressive. As a student of history, I am an admirer of thinkers on both sides of our two party political spectrum, including Dwight Eisenhower, Nelson Rockefeller and even Richard Nixon, two of whom were both conservative and progressive. You seem to be caught up in the rhetoric of those nattering nabobs of negativism, the tea party and fox news. Not me. Such a shame. For a day or so, I'd thought you were real. I must be getting old. -- Hope you're having a great day! John H Paul aka Jim aka Secular Humanist aka Secular Humorist aka Hkar etc. When things get to dull around here for him, he has wifey sew him up a new sock puppet. And this is the guy who is encouraging us to play nice. We've been doing our part,eh? |
