drunkle: And you’ll get no disagreement from me on the point that turning the other cheek doesn’t work. Nor does sharing an ideological common ground with someone mean that you have to excuse whatever they say. As I said earlier, I am not here to apologize for gold.

As to nonsense being addressed: Again, I agree wholeheartedly. We have reached a point that, societally speaking, anything goes. Between political correctness and general ignorance, we sit back and let nearly anything pass without comment, either from fear of giving offense, or fear of being labeled and then demonized.

I find both Al Franken and Rush Limbaugh infuriating, as well as their know nothing adherents. I think creationism and Intelligent Design are twaddle, but I also don’t believe Science (when treated as a religion) has all of the answers either. Yet, that is. I find Dubya and Huckabee of the same mold, but profess that Hillary scares me just as much, and less because of her ideology, but because of who she really is under the window dressing.

I appreciate your taking the time to trade barbs with me, I enjoyed it.

Speaking of being lazy, I’m going to wander off and vegetate in front of the TV. All of this thinking has really tired out the hamster.

drunkle: Just saw your edits 1 and 2.

1. Yes, the standards are different depending on your skin. No argument from me on that one.

2. Yes, the standards are different depending on your wealth and/or social standing. Yep, I also know it is not right, and would accept any just criticism.

Not to be a wise-ass, but isn’t that what you and I are doing right now?

drunkle: Point taken, and my apologies.

That being said, I would also opine that you are somewhat hung up on the insinuation, and missing the larger point. That point? That the left is indeed pulling a mea culpa when it comes to white guilt, and giving anyone of color a hall pass – if they toe the rhetorical line, of course.

Are the Republicans guilty of similar behavior? You bet. I am not so naive as to argue that somehow those on the reactionary right are any better. They’re not.

So we’re clear: I am not some gun-toting right winger. While conservative, I didn’t check my brain at the door. My issues are largely centered on the extremes of both parties hijacking the discussion and polarizing this country to the point that not only is the center lost, but so is the ability to maintain a civil discussion.

As I said, I am not here to apologize for gold. I got the gist of where he was going, just as you got the insinuation cloaked within. I very much object to his vilification of liberals. I would substitute left wing for liberal.
