If, however, you want to continue to believe that the people who think like you understand the danger and the rest of us are ignoring it, or care more about politics or whatever, then that's fine too, only don't expect me to waste my time.
I don't seem to understand all the passionate people who share those opinions. I more or less agree with you.
I think I understand where Pat Robertson is coming from, but I don't think these people you are having conversation with agree with Pat Robertson.
I think I understand where Bill Kristol is coming from, and again, I don't think most of the people you are addressing share Kristols views.
I think I understand where Steve Forbes (WSJ, etc) are coming from, and again, I don't think most of the people you are having conversation with understand or share Steve Forbes/WSJ views.
What is amazing to me is how all these people are willing to agree to disagree and somehow tap into all the super patriots and push their hot buttons (eg, we are bigger and stronger than anyone else, we want what we want, and the only thing that is stopping us from getting what we want are the "peaceniks" in our own country who do not understand how we can make this into a better world - if everyone else does what we tell them to do).
As long as this coalition holds up, I don't see how Democrats, or anyone else, will ever recapture the Whitehouse. |
