Intolerence

So I'm having a political discussion with a friend when, after me refuting and debating her arguments with other information and facts, she says "I just don't understand how you can support the President."

Excuse Me?

Haven't I just sat here and explained to you why I do?

But it's a phrase that's been thrown about a lot by Democrats and "Independants" who've never voted Republican in their lives, lately. And I'm sick of it.

I'm sorry you "don't understand". I'm sorry your so close-minded that you can't look at other people's point of view and at least understand that they didn't just pull that position out of thin air. I'm sorry that you have so little thinking ability that an opposing position to yours sends you into an intellectual fog. I'm sorry that you are so dumb, that visions you obviously can't have overwork your simple brain sinapses to the point of blackout.

But you know what? It's not my problem

It's not my problem that "you can't understand" differing opinions. That anything not in your "comfort zone" gives you such fright that you are "paralyzed with dumb". It's time to deal. People are different. I spent my whole time growing up formulating my opinions with deep reflection and study. I grew my positions out of talking with others who didn't share my views. It made me both more tolerant, and more comfortable that my beliefs were correct...were Right.

It's time for you to do the same, because if you "just can't understand", then you are an intolerant ignoramous who doesn't deserve any more of my precious time.

That's exactly what I'm talking about. Sarcasm and a lack of cogent rebuttal. But of course I'm just a dummy.

Thanks for proving me right.

yep. he is the president. like God almighty, he has to be supported. All the news channels say I should, and they must be right. The rest of the world jsut hates us and Him becuase we have money and are better looking than them. God Bless Bush.
