Being a liberal ...I agree we need to come together. Being a liberal Yankee from the northeast I recognize that powers that be would prefer to keep the status quo, because why not, it is working well for them. I recognize looking left often can leave blind spots on my right, therefore I will watch fox news or listen to sean hannity from time to time and even read conservative blogs like yours. My favorite conservative thinker is David brooks, he seems more reflective and nuanced conservative. The biggest difference I came up with between a conservative and liberal is a liberal prefers to view life's answers in shades of grey and a conservative prefers more black and white. Now I am a liberal in a conservative roman catholic family. My mother supported Santorum and my brothers support Ron Paul. Having close family members being staunchly conservative can make me more understanding of this point of view. When we talk about politics we try to stay with concepts and less about politicans. The surprising or not so surprising thing is that when we get to final desired outcomes, we have many similarities, but we have different paths of getting there and different fears that can manifest. As we march side by side towards the future, I agree with you it is best to work together. I'll look out for dangers from the right while you look out for dangers on the left. Good posts keep the dialogue going!EvanfromCthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15409518729954672237noreply@blogger.com
