27. An applicable quote indeed

Because of the very first word...unthinking. Much like the OP's unthinking reflexive sickening by people in uniform.

I do not have unthinking respect for those in uniform but then I don't have unthinking disrespect for them either, as you and the OP seem to be suggesting. As I suggested to the OP, if you have an unthinking response to a person who differs from you whether it be their hair or clothes or skin, then you have no business calling yourself a progressive, you've just found a way to justify your bigotry.

Neat how that cuts both ways, huh?
