Can't stand other opinions?

Is it just me, or do the very liberal believe that no one has the right to a differing opinion? Am I looking at it from a skewed position in thinking that while conservative people have fundamental beliefs, they accept the fact that not everyone agrees, but very liberal people have no such thinking?

I am beginning to think that being a lefty means believing that anyone who doesn't sing along with your exact tune, is just stupid. Liberal thinkers seem convinced that they have all the correct answers (they are the only ones who even know the questions), so all others are just irrelevant nincompoops.

Read some of the posters on newspapers' online message boards. See which people try to get their point across with facts and which are content to demean and insult. Listen to people when they speak. Which use historical data to support ideas, and which use the "we know what's best for you because you don't understand"?

Oh, I understand.

I'm probably crazy, but...

I realize that I don't handle one blog exceptionally well. I'm infrequent and a bit scattered, so what is going one with starting another one?

It occurred to me that sometimes I want to expound on important issues of the day, yet I don't want to scare away some of the blogging friends I've made over the past year and a half. Most of them don't get too political and aren't looking for a debate. I guess they are more comfortable with light-hearted, quirky, personal daily life posts. That's okay. I like those too.

So, this is where I'm planning to get political, or angry, or stand on my soap box. I'll let people know who are like-minded, and if anyone else bumbles on to it, it's here. I did notice that when I got a bit political on the other blog, a person from the opposite corner noticed and accused me of hating the government. If one were to go back and read the post and the comment, it seems to me that she reacted to what she thought I was thinking, not to what I said.

Anyway, I've got a few ideas saved up. Now all I need is the time and ambition to get them down. Soon. Stay tuned if you want.
