Life would be better if people would stop lacing their political
arguments with one or more of the following: liberal, leftist, radical, conservative,
wacko, Jesus freak, socialist, pinky, left leaning, etc. etc. You add nothing to your argument by saying “how
can you leftists think that Obama‘s plan will do anything but add to our
deficit?” Besides, it isn’t nice. Why don’t you just say that Obama’s plan will
add to the deficit? Why do you have to
call me names? Is your argument not good
enough on the merits? I know that
manners and cooperation are antiquated relics of a time gone by, but I like
them. I also like logic and reason, and
I think none of them go well with half hidden insults. If you have a point to make … make it. If you want a name to call me, I’d prefer the
name my mother gave me. If you don’t
know that, go with “fellow American,” or even “hey you.” I can’t
stop you from being juvenile, but you can … so would you mind?
