Well, I'm not a right leaning person. Definitely more liberal than conservative, but I don't have a problem with discussions here where my conservative friends get on their high horses and start sprouting horns and stuff. They're all pretty reasonable most of the time, and when they're not, I usually just stop talking to them, or start cracking jokes. We all have that right.
I don't think any of them think I'm stupid for my views though, and I don't think they'd think that of anyone else either.
Sure, things get heated sometimes, and people start getting personal, but it blows over.
The important thing to remember is, the conservatives are always wrong, even if they don't realize it.
It's our job as liberals to guide them through the murky waters of life to ultimate enlightenment.
