When I recently went to visit my mom and brother two weeks ago. We ended up exchanging heated words about Iraq, Bush, the ACLU, God in the pledge, etc. It was very unpleasant, and I wish I had had the sense to just change the subject, but I could not believe intelligent people could really hold such bigoted and narrow minded beliefs. My mom and brother have also been tainted by the Fox/talk radio machine, and are simply no longer rational. I think what both liberals and conservatives have in common, though, is that both sides are so angry and upset because we all feel as though the country is going to hell in a handbasket and that the other side is taking us there.
