By decent thinking people I assume that you mean people tat agree with you. Because there is certainly no room for any other opinion than yours. There is certainly no room for open mindedness. Either people agree with you or they are evil, stupid, or cannot think.

This kind of dialog is exactly what's wrong with this country. Not respecting other people's opinions and considering that you might be wrong is why we have rioting in the streets and people beating people.

We need to tone down the rhetoric and understand that we all want the same things. We may disagree vehemently and passionately about how to achieve those things, but we need to do so in a reasoned and civilized manner. The name calling needs to stop. The thinking that some of our fellow Americans are the enemy must stop.

The Villages has had a conservative majority since it's inception. I would think that most people knew that when they decided to come here. Why this is a surprise to you or anyone else confounds me. If you didn't want to live in a conservative why move here?

I'm sure that many of your fellow liberals came here knowing what they were getting themselves into and decided that the benefits outweighed the negatives. They might also believe that through reasoned discussion that they might change the minds of some people. I guarantee that minds will not be changed by name calling and closed minded attitudes.
