The political climate here is not friendly to contrary opinions - either way. What began as a friendly way to help me think of what the other side was feeling has dwindled to white noise due to the latent hatred of the liberal and conservative minds. After reading and writing to these posts containing this hatred I have started to feel it myself for those who think different from myself.

This hatred is bad as I am an American who believes in freedom. So rather than participate actively I will participate sparingly.

At this point I'm just poking them with a stick on occasion.
