Where Opposition Turns to Contempt

NY Times article going over unconscionable efforts to surpress the African-American vote that at the very least disenfranchised hundreds of thousands of Americans. Leave out the ex-felon issue for a moment, and take a gander at the dirty tricks. This is why there are so few Republican activists to have an honest conversation with. There is no simply no basis for a intelligent disagreements over political philosophy. There is nothing to learn here, no consensus to be built, no commonality of American culture. This is where political differences turn into personal hatred.

I'm not talking about ordinary conservatives, but so many Republican political operatives have become moral criminals, in obsequiese service of power. Their arguments are not honest enough to have merit, and to engage in a conversation with these sons of a bitches is to let them win by legitimizing the most dangerous bullshit. There is nothing to do but fight them, and break them.
