Quote of the Day: Challenge thyself
"Refusing to truly understand those who disagree with you is intellectual laziness and worse, is usually worse than what you’re accusing the Other Side of doing." ~ Sean Blanda from his post 'The "Other Side" is Not Dumb'
So dismissing Donald Trump supporters as "angry morons" was after reading Mr Trump's policies of - 15% corporate and 5% income taxes, school choice, calling global warming a hoax, support for fracking, supporting the 2nd amendment, abolishing Obamacare - and (presumably) finding yourself opposed to all of these policies??
In Donald Trump there's not a consistent point of view to understand, just a hodge podge of randomness. Like a mini version of Putin, he attempts to replace principles with force of personality. Like most populists, he sometimes comes down on the right side, but often not - and there's no predicting where he'll stand on any given issue.
We welcome thoughtful disagreement. But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me. PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
