Differences of opinion are what makes America great. Belittling those with differing views does nothing but to invite belittling responses. I always felt that we Villagers were a fairly intelligent lot, but I guess I was wrong.
This is not a place for any kind of exchange of ideas, but just a dumping ground for the worst elements of both sides of the political spectrum. It should be avoided by all thinking Americans.
On the other hand, we have the right to speak our minds, no matter how callously. This is one of the many things that makes America great. Just be prepared for the worst should you venture onto that forum.
You are most definitely wrong. The statement while perhaps your opinion to which you are entitled you are in fact wrong.

You have fallen prey to the modern day sickness of extrapolating the isolated case or the minority representation to sound like a general condition when it is not.

The other 95% of us who are the intelligent lot and the majority are proof of your error.
