Personally, I want to have discussions with people I disagree with. I want to learn why they believe what they believe, I want people to challenge my views and beliefs. I have no use whatsoever with immature posts ridiculing and calling names. I will admit on occassion I get annoyed and post a sarcastic post that could be interpreted as ridicule, but I try not to.
So, I am glad we can disagree publically. I wish we could have a section for political discussions/arguments, which you have to join and agree to whatever to participate in, but I expect that is not going to happen.
And while I am an evil bleeding heart liberal, I have met several conservatives here that I highly respect both for their civility and for the well reasoned and well-spoken arguments.

i'm with you! i love engaging conversation with those of differing opinions. i can get more info from a face to face conversation than from any so-called news report, and it's ok to disagree. it doesn't mean i don't like/respect you, in fact i admire those who can approach me & discuss things without fear of being shot down or being made fun of. this is how it used to be years ago, when we were ALL Americans as opposed to the new hyphenated citizen
