Every single one? Ouch. At least I thank you for the respect. Maybe. What exactly do you respect about my comments or me if they are wrong on all accounts? Is being wrong worthy of respect? Or is it just that you respect my right to an opinion? I'm not being sarcastic or snotty, I've just always wondered what people mean when they say "with respect." If its just that you respect my right to opinion, then shouldn't we respect the right of the President to his and stop this demonization for having an opinion however wrong?

Maybe We Really Can’t All Just Get Along

During the Los Angeles riots of 1992, Rodney King famously asked, “Can’t we all just get along?” The answer should be an easy and unequivocal “yes,” but it seems less and less likely these days.

King was speaking in term of race, but the same could be said of political ideology. Liberals, conservatives and every other point on the political spectrum used to co-exist fairly easily (with the exception of left-wing anarchists who don’t get along with anyone). But these days détente has given way to anger and open hostility.

Some, not all, people have become less civil to those...
