Reply #24: These are conservatives one can sit and have a discussion with

I don't gloat over the fact that these guys have a heavy heart. It is sad to belong to a party that has veered dangerously off course and the country are the ones who have to pay for it.
I respect people who have a view different from my own if they are thoughtful, not name calling or using wornout 70s expressions or come off in a full blown rage.
I would like to talk with a reasonable conservative like these guys and ask some questions.
Like the spending. The dems do better with the checkbook. Why do they use 70s discriptions of democrats. Why do they think Pelosi is so evil. Why are they so angry and foaming at the mouth. Where did the idea of the Democrats as "the enemy" come from. Why have an enemy? Why can't they see we are all human beings who have a different view on the best way of governement and policy.
I'd like to know why, if the democrats outnumber the republicans 3 to 1 in vets, do they posture, strut and accuse us of being cowards? That we hate this country and are "hippies" (do those even exist anymore?), ect.
I'm just curious why they seem to believe the Rush talking points and don't sit and think about stuff and have an open dialoge. Why they rage at the left.
