Dalren, although my views differ from yours I do respect them. The only problem I have though is accusing the Democrats of bashing Republicans. Does it happen a lot? Of course. BUT you have to realize it happens both ways. I've been called an immoral tree-hugging baby-killing flaming liberal wussicrat probably as much as you've been called an ignorant bible-thumping conservative. If you had views that were closer to Democratic views I'm betting (depending on where you live) you'd be accusing the Republicans of doing this instead. Or maybe its just the people you hang out with or the area you live in. I just don't think its fair to say that Democrats solely do this, when instead its the idiots who can't make an argument so instead resort to bashing, and lets face it, both parties have a LOT of these idiots.
