I have a good friend who is becoming disenchanted with the republican party.
He said there were two things stopping him from jumping party lines. One is Obama. And the second one is the training one must have to go through to learn to always be derogatory by calling those who have an opposing view, names.

For me once the name calling, snipping and bashing begin I usually don't read the entire post. I may be missing some good info as a result, however I am of the opinion the name callers do so for a reason....lack of sufficient verbiage knowledge to deal with opposition, hence ........I am sure I am not missing much.

And the most surprising to me is the derogatory name calling and bashing is not limited to this forum. It seems to be the operating mode of the dems. One would think they would know the name calling does little or nothing to help their credibility. For me, no matter how bright they may be the rude practice deteriorates any credibility the might have.

It's just to easy to make an opposing view with respect.

I also conclude that some may view that having an opposing view is derogatory to them......pretty narrow approach!!
