    Default We need to stop labeling people

    Politicians love labeling people because it keeps the country divided and makes the people fighting with each other instead of paying attention to all of the political crooks and liars, of which are abundant.

    Politicans love, red herrings, straw men, sophistry, the flag (a piece of cloth worshipped like a demigod), the nfl (american gladiators causing concussions), wars (a lot of wagging the dog), clean coal (an oxymoron), junk science/anti science (in regards to global warming), Paternalism, Liberals, conservatives, libertarians, moderates, radicals, anarchists, people of color, gangbangers, idiots, morons, shit stains, strict constitutionalism, religious denominations (a biggie like "god is on our side"), perverts, gay. Whatever.

    First off, we are people each with a point of view, We should not label people according to their opinions. We should never put politics ahead of country.

    We are "We the people".

    I travel softly through the night. Yep, I'm one of those.

    I am> "the unconquerable will,
    And study of revenge, immortal hate,
    And courage never to submit or yield." (to rwnuts.)

    "Indelible"

    Depends what you mean by 'politics' - you are going to need powerful political action to put this mess right, I think. Most things, fair play, are more important than the current circus.

    It's no longer "we the people". It's normal thinking people on one side, and leftist loons on the other. It's textbook, good vs evil.

    We are all presumably sincere in our opinions and values.

    The values of the right are genuinely repugnant to those of us on the left.
    The converse seems to be true as well.

    How do we come together with people whose values we sincerely and genuinely loathe?
    Why should we, in fact?
    Isn't formalizing the separation a better solution for making more people content?

    I don't think so. Gridlock is the most likely result and that's not a bad thing, the only passed bills would be laws that everyone thinks are good ideas and the partisan crap gets gridlocked out of existence.

    It is a simple fact that that people are divided into those who love truth and those who hate the truth. They all know who they are. The battle lines have been drawn. Let's rumble.

    I am never going to stop using the terms teabagger, wingnut, deplorable mouth breather, and rightwing nut job.....

    If that makes me a bad person, I will just have to accept that I am on the highway to hell!
