I understand what you're saying.
My mother is for the war, and she voted for George Bush. Our politics are at opposite ends of the spectrum. But I am still able to see her as one of the most intelligent, introspective, and thoughtful people I have ever known. She thinks she's right; I think I'm right. But neither of us think any less of each other.
Those who are not able to accept that others have different views are usually people who are insecure in their own views.
I didn't, however, see that here. I just saw people expressing their opinions, not demonizing others for having different ones.
People are not their politics. It's easy for me to love a person with whom I disagree.
I have grown to really care about you, Dinah, and it doesn't matter a bit whether you're left, right, or dead set in the center.
