skyjumpenfool 2 #1 April 19, 2009 I’m so sick of Liberals slamming Conservatives and Cons. Slamming Libs.! Democrats bashing Republicans, R’s bashing D’s. I’m not going to say which one of these groups I consider myself a member of because, I’m ashamed to be a member of either. If your best argument is to slam the other side, chances are your argument is weak! I challenge all of you to make your argument about the issues. Say what YOU think is right or wrong. Don’t say what you think “The Other Side” thinks. I further challenge all of us to stop pointing our fingers across the isle. Instead, think about the issue, argue your thoughts, then, listen to the other side. It’s so much easier to argue and blame than it is to listen and compromise. Which is why this political bashing has gotten out of hand. A true democracy painlessly searches for a compromise, then, embraces it when they find one. That compromise will not always please everyone, but it should be something that everyone can live with. Lastly, if you hear someone bashing the “other side”, stop listening! If they’re, instead, arguing their side of the issue, listen to what they’re saying. You don’t have to agree, but you should listen. When you disagree, argue your side of the issue instead of attacking theirs. The sooner we eliminate the Conservative/Liberal labels, the better!!!Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
