Not all Liberals are evil

It sort of shocked me to figure out that not all Liberals are the enemy and are often nice people. Maybe I should have known that already but I never was the sharpest knife in the drawer. But it recommitted me to trying to reason with them on my blog rather than do the easy (and fun) thing and insult them.

I work a “Real” job and also get a decent bit of income as a freelance writer (mostly online) in my spare time. I often visit a writer’s forum where there are many Liberals, and by unspoken agreement we don’t talk politics there. Writers tend to be Liberal and I don’t want to have arguments there.

Well, recently I was having a really bad day and somebody there ticked me off and I went off on them in the forum. Instead of everyone there telling me to leave, there were many comments about they were sorry I was having a bad day and encouraging me not to quit the site. I explained I was mad over some comments left on a blog of mine and they said they didn’t agree with me but that the comments were uncalled for by the other Liberals. And two of the Conservatives even joined my blog to help me get our message out.

What I learned is that if we talk out differences of opinions, then there can often be an understanding. If we fuss and fume and growl at each other then nothing will ever be accomplished in this country.
