Bruce, I'm one of those liberal/progressive types who long ago gave up trying to have meaningful discourse with much less understand the folks you've described. I've enjoyed your spot-on posts that bring a dose of reality to the raging rhetoric the righties engage in. Just sorry you've had to endure their slings and arrows, in particular because they don't even know what they want or care the least about the damage those slings and arrows cause. I keep waiting for them to make sense, but now realize that's about as likely as waiting for them to construct a meaningful sentence or spell correctly. It's disheartening to know how many of them run loose in Central Oregon. The sheer beauty of the place I call home almost compensates for the fact that I share space with such intemperate souls who I'm guessing have little appreciation for the awesome area they are privileged to inhabit. It recently came to me how much energy it saps out of a person, being that irrational and angry. Almost makes me feel sorry for them...well, almost... Meanwhile, thanks to you for fighting the good fight and speaking truth in the midst of all the insanity swirling around us. I shall miss you. Like you, I cringe to think about living in the country your foes have created. I could hope they might soon figure out just what they have wrought, but I'm not counting on it. Peace, blessings and best wishes.
