Yet this is exactly what you expect of others. Sorry you were met the same level of entrenched beliefs. Even the righteous live in glass houses.

There is nothing about having entrenched opposing views that necessitates the revolting level you have taken this thread to. Nothing! I talk with friends daily who believe, IMHO, foolishly in the Left and Hillary and Obama. They think I'm probably foolish for what I think.

The veneer of civility is one of the main things that separates us from apes. A history of civilization (note the root of that word) is learning to control our baser instincts for the betterment of the group. So I'll happily remain civil and I certainly won't be cowed or intimidated by an emotional, intellectual lightweight like you. I won't be shutting the f#ck up.
