We had a local minister who got national coverage predicting the end of the world recently. One of my Lefy friends, basically a good guy, was complaining that when people messed up like that, there never seemed to be any consequences. I said I agreed there should be consequences, but then there would be no Liberals and few Democrats not in prison. The look he gave me was not so much incredulity, but incomprehension. Apparently it has never occurred to him that anyone except the Right was ever wrong.
A very good friend told me that even when using the same set of facts that he can decipher what is really being said or what is really going on because of the "dog whistle" statement or implication used by a conservative. By knowing said "dog whistle" uses he can tell that conservatives are racist, homophobic, etc.
Sorry it has been a while, but work (the good kind) kept me away. This is a friend of over 45 years who has turned radical in the last year or two. It is driving me nuts, but he was my Best Man.
Oh, I see. Sounds like my oldest friend Pat who died this summer, only she turned radical much longer ago! We remained friends in spite ofour differences though it wasn't always easy!
I'm a southern Christian conservative with a degree in civil & environmental engineering and a passion for the truth of God's Word, writing, hiking, investing, fly fishing, cooking and the great outdoors. My favorite tech invention = spellcheck. There are no such things as rights without responsibility, a free lunch, cheap grace, man-made climate change, successful government engineering, or figuring out when life begins. We're hurling towards the abyss with only One Life-Line: it's not botox, a "living" Constitution, celebrity president, or making nice with our dark enemies.. Meanwhile, God gave us His Word, His Son, Grace Upon Grace, family/friends and the greatest country in the world to live--if we can keep it .Comments are closed but you can email me at: webutante07 at gmail dot com.

Last Stanzas of America the Beautiful
O beautiful for pilgrim feet, Whose stern, impassioned stress A thoroughfare for freedom beat Across the wilderness! America! America! God mend thine every flaw, Confirm thy soul in self-control, Thy liberty in law!
O beautiful for heroes proved In liberating strife, Who more than self their country loved And mercy more than life! America! America! May God thy gold refine, Till all success be nobleness, And every gain divine!

It never ceases to amaze me Treg, how differently two people can view reality given the same set of facts.

He's a good friend?? Your good friend??
