Bruce, I couldn't resist hoisting you by your own petard:

"'The Democrats/liberals ... are now caught in the very emotional sway of the poisonous stuff that the Dem brain stem feeds them.....One cannot, in essence, have a deep and constructive conversation with liberals until they untie themselves from the emotional ideas which they are slave to.'

KB: Very good post.


To which I reply; "The (republicans/conservatives) ... are now caught in the very emotional sway of the poisonous stuff that the (right wing) brain stem feeds them.....One cannot, in essence, have a deep and constructive conversation with (conservatives) until they untie themselves from the emotional ideas which they are slave to."

Which is equally dismissive of the other side, is equally patronizing and is equally assured of guaranteeing that no unpleasant views must be analyzed. It's probably equally false also, but I suspect not quite as much so. g.

The "they" that's "caught in this emotional sway" that's dividing this country certainly includes those that write such posts as the Kodiak "very good post," and those that can read that post and fail to recognize that "common" fact.
