“To disagree is to: fail to agree or to differ in opinion.”
Too often in life we disagree with someone because our opinion is different than theirs. At that point we are bound and determined to sway them to our side. We use logic, quotes, definitions, news or book articles, expert Scholars, and our own convoluted thought process…anything to make our point. Of course the other side does the same thing. The other side will not admit you have a valid point….that’s admitting defeat. So it becomes frustrating and a stalemate.
This is particularly true in Politics. The Republicans and Democrats disagree….because they are Republicans and Democrats……they are suppose to disagree. For Heaven’s sake do not let facts get in the way of a good argument. The hypocrisy on both sides is astronomical. Negative things that were said about President Bush are now being said about President Obama……..the difference…….with Bush he was a buffoon, a liar, in over his head, had incompetent people surrounding him, etc. The Democrats made the charges and of course people were not outraged, they just laughed...those silly Democrats! With Obama you are a racist if you dare question his people or policies. You don’t dare disagree with Obama because you will be labeled a trouble maker, out of the mainstream, a mob who interrupts town hall meetings. The Tea Parties are really the right wing fringe minority, accordingly to the Democrats. I really think that the American people are fed up with his style of government and cannot wait until the 2010 elections. You can disagree with the Democrats but do not let them get away with the lies and distortions. Make sure they are held accountable for their actions. Once they are out of office……if you want….. you can then forgive them :>)

I most certainly want them held accountable. Our country is in the worst shape it's been in since the Great Depression. Obama himself is a racist. And the Democratic party still thinks he walks on water.
ReplyDeleteI doubt I will forgive them. Their's too many of them and too few of me. I guess I haven't reached that level of enlightenment yet.
For me, I am now trying to understand why someone thinks the way they do, rather than argue our difference. I used to argue all the time, but finally I have realized…they are not going to change my mind and I highly doubt I will change theirs.
ReplyDeleteAs for politics, I now try, very hard (though I fail at times) to not discuss it with people. Especially if they haven’t asked my opinion!
If you ask, however, then well all bets are off!
I also try to understand but how do you handle it if their rationalization or logic does not make any sense to you? As for politics...that's my therapy. Try as I may I cannot understand a liberal's point of view. In everyway a conservative is just as, if not more so, compasionate when it comes to the needy, helpless and down trodden. But I am not sympathetic to the lazy,demanding,angry or those who feel sorry for themselves because they don't have what you have earned.
ReplyDeleteThis blog is were I vent about politics because I generally do not know where people stand on any given issue. Of couse my liberal friends are easy targets.....I love taking pot shots at them!!
