I really hesitate to get involved in any discussions on this forum, prefering instead to peruse the rants/comments/positions and most importantly, back-up information to same...most of the terribly offensive comments I've read here have been exchanged within my immediate family...causing deep personal and permanent wounds...to both sides I suppose. The fissure within our family, caused by politics couldn't be wider...I could run off a list of all the insults that have gone back and forth...but that only feeds the demon that divides us idealogically.

We need to remember, that we probably have friends and family on both ends of the political spectrum...is it worth personally insulting or fighting with them, and losing them over a political position.

If only what has been said in my family could be undone...peace fellow Villagers and Americans...hopefully time will heal our family wounds and you'll avoid the worst personal side effects of intolerant/ignorant politics.

So, the punch line (not literally) is: Are Conservatives angry...sometimes, but so are Liberals...and both sides can exhibit all the best qualities of humanity as well. I guess the implication to the title of this thread is, "Are Conservatives Always Angry?"...logical conclusion: No
