Some of you were right about me not sticking around very long.
I came here because as I was flipping back and forth on XM between the "Patriot" and "Progressive" stations, it because very apparent that the two extremes were exhibiting the same dysfunctional behavior. Both were simply attacking the other with empty rhetoric and little real substance or facts. Some of you will dismiss this as a "false equivalency". That's your right, but IMO that's just evidence that you're living at one of the extreme ends of our polarized society.
My hope was that there could be honest dialog here where we could have a civil discussion about the things that separate the two extremes. Instead it appears that this web site is simply a place where those that share a common cultural ideology can congregate and agree with each other. Again, that's your right, and you seem to be having a great time. There are conservative sites that are no different.
In closing, if you have any desire to win over the hearts of your American brothers and sisters who disagree with your position, then you should consider putting forth a more inclusive, less vitriolic face. I come away from this experience with a jaded view of those who to claim to have "progressed" to a more enlightened state.
Farewell and I wish you the best.
