I put a statement out there and I'm still waiting for you to respond to it.
Again, the summary: "As long as we are polarized by dislike, incapable of compromise with those we distrust or hate, the longer it will take to do a really good job of legislating for our diverse nation."
I made the statement because I disagreed with Yoda's remark about disliking people and because of the recent choices made those Republican members of Congress who have not given any more specific reason for opposing legislation beyond saying that they either distrust or dislike what the President is proposing.

It is Christmas eve, thus will be short.
I agree that we are polarized, but your post intimated that this polarization began in November of 2008 and thus my comments on the last 4 to 5 years, but you either chose to ignore that or misinterpeted it !
Again, I read your post as a comment on simply the last year....if you meant over the last 15 years or so, I will agree.
I still maintain that if someone has something to say..positive or negative..they should post it ! I did take your comment as a lecture for those of us who do post....if it was meant some other way, please clarify and I will surely apologize !
I will add.....as Cabo gave you instructions on how to review posts, I invite you to do the same with me and call to my attention where I said I disliked anyone !
