I am all for civility, and would take that as just normal discourse.

I agree. I don't think that the things that make us mad about political discussions are "memes from Mars" but the true things said by people we care deeply about and who look at things differently. We then (we THINK) answer these misguided souls back, patiently and intelligently, and they they are hurt and mad because we don't see things their way.
Living in the South is the first time I have encountered anti-Catholicism. (Not that I am such a good example of piety. ) It doesn't feel nice to be dismissed when you have been accepted all of your life for your faith. It HURTS to be criticized. Teaches me to try to look at things from another's view.
And that is hard if not impossible. That is why our mother's taught us manners and that kids in the MIDDLE of this country were told to keep their mouth's shut. Not so on the coasts.
Now I've done it.
Good Morning. It's gonna be a beautiful day in The Villages.
