The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

VAM.

I'm guilty of the 'slippery slope' speak as well- I suppose many of us are, no matter what our political affiliation. Scaeagles comment "And honestly, I don't fault them for doing so. What happens is the look at what the next step might be and therefore want no movement at all in that direction" is how I feel about many of the conservative's motives, and I can understand they feel the same way about liberal proposals. I don't know if there can ever be a meeting of minds in this environment of such extreme distrust, but I do wish the violent rhetoric would cease. It's non-productive, divisive and dangerous. For the record, I get just as irritated with liberal extremism as well.
