I would like to be (a la Fox) "fair and balanced" but it's hard. "This Ain't Hell" has a weekly post with links to the Democratic Underground (I think it's called) but I stopped reading those because the taste of vomit was getting to me. The things some people believe are beyond the pale. And you're right, to the morons running the country it is SSDD. When Newt Gingrich congratulated the Wun, I lost ALL faith in the RINOs. The Repubs don't get it, we don't WANT Democrat-Lite.<br /><br />Your point about the Great Wide Open is well taken. My son lives in California, near Modesto. It's pretty rural. He says he can talk politics with his neighbors there, most of whom work for a living, pay taxes and are therefore somewhat conservative. When he's at work (close by San Francisco) he says talks about politics are avoided like the plague. The area seems to be heavily populated with wild-eyed liberal pinko fanatics who think Dianne Freakin' Feinstein is the Second Coming.<br /><br />When will people learn that moderation in all things is healthy in every way?<br /><br />Sigh, 'tis to weep it is.OldAFSargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15935839956936191547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-32674439268197206412013-03-20T09:52:19.456-07:002013-03-20T09:52:19.456-07:00Back in the day when I first began reading blogs.....Back in the day when I first began reading blogs... say around 2003 - 2004... I used to make daily stops at the leading lefty and righty political blogs. I pretty much quit reading the lefties when BDS became all the rage (heh) and I quit reading the wing-nuts (for the most part) about a year ago, or perhaps shortly after that debacle we called a "presidential election" last November. It just seems to be SSDD to me. Every day, all day.<br /><br />Yeah, I'm fed up, too. Your point about getting out o' the cities is a valid one, though. There ain't NEAR as much BS out here in the Great Wide Open. Or so it seems.Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-46081952577478676922013-03-19T15:43:33.563-07:002013-03-19T15:43:33.563-07:00Well played, Joe, well played!
