[QUOTE="diesel96, post: 608437, member: 9859"] A man walks down an old road and comes to a gate across the road with no obvious purpose. A Liberal thinks "I don't see any reason why the gate here is closed, and it obstructs traffic", and leaves the gate open. A Conservative thinks "Someone thought it was necessary to build a gate across this road, so until I know why, I'll leave the gate closed." It's one of my favorite analogies because it captures the strengths and weaknesses of both sides. Sometimes, the way things are is just an artifact of inertia. And sometimes, the way things are, represents a [B]wisdom[/B] that isn't obvious at first, or even second, glance. Hopefully, one day Brett, even you, will have grown to bottle up some of that wisdom. However now, your ilk has become a little tiresome along with your juvenile pokes of insulting posters, time and time again, of having small minded intelligence simply for seeing the glass half empty or half full...It's healthy to be angry and be a dissenter. Having your own beliefs is the core of a democracy. If you really believe our president is a Nazi incogneto, wants to kill seniors, is Satan's cabana boy, or will institute death camps for vaccine deniers, then I respectfully suggest you change your news channel and take a deep breath. None of that is true. It's all crazy talk meant to cultivate irrational hatred. You are smarter than that. You have to be otherwise our society is doomed, and I don't believe we are doomed. I really think that we are smarter than all of this nonsense. And so, let me direct you back to Obama's speech as understood by third graders. Take responsibility for your own knowledge. Be respectful. If you fail, it doesn't mean you are stupid. Gee. I think Obama's speech was more apropos than we might have known. I'm not sure he was actually talking to our kids. I think he might have been talking to us. [/QUOTE]
