Admit it Tom...
...you're just one of our "ilk". We're all just mean, insensitive conservatives who make off-color jokes, smoke big cigars and eat too much red meat. We're neanderthals who live to hurt others feelings.
Do you see what I mean about testy? It's impossible to rationally converse with folks here sometimes. It's like a soap opera where lines are delivered melodramatically. There are too many chips on too many shoulders. How does one respond to that stuff?
I spent a short time at the Democrats blogs the other day and many of the remarks are absolutely vile. I felt tainted just after reading an open thread or two. Makes all of us here appear like saints.
