Frustration Mounts

The closer we get to election day, the more I realize the lack of maturity, composure, and civility on the part of the people who lean left.

Two Examples:

First, I was making volunteer phone calls on behalf of Prop 8. I was calling to see if I could help people make an informed decision (in other words I was telling them to vote yes). The astonishing thing to me was the lack of interest in hearing the truth, on the part of the people who are against this proposition. It's like they didn't even care about the truth, or facts that conflicted with their opinion. I presented one gentlemen, in particular, with a given fact. He would not believe it. I told him it was a proven fact, and he categorically dismissed me because I am a Republican.

Second, I read a letter to the editor in a small local newspaper (the Acorn). This lady spewed out all the silly rhetoric which basically stated, if you are for Prop 8, you are anti-gay, you hate gays, and you live in the stone age.

Leftists, Democrat's, Secular Progressives, Socialists, Communists, whatever you want to call them. Their political and social belief system is their religion. That is why they can deny the truth, because they don't believe in what conservatives advocate. It's the equivalent of a Satan worshiper telling a Christian that Jesus didn't exist. It just does not compute. Not only does it not compute, but they have complete contempt for anyone who disagrees with their point of view. And these are supposed to be the people of tolerance and diversity. Oh, they are totally tolerant, as long as you fall in line with their way of thinking. If you don't, you are an infidel, that must be destroyed. Are they really tolerant?

They are so quick to call a conservative a hypocrite, when one falls into moral transgression. Do you see any hypocrisy on their part, when it comes to tolerance? Why was my "Yes On 8" yard sign stolen from my front lawn? Why do they want to shout down anyone who wants to express a differing opinion? Why the hatred of Sarah Palin. Tolerant? I think not. Hmmmm, where else have we seen people not being allowed to think for themselves? Where have we seen attempts to cut religion out of the moral fabric of society? Where else have we seen the government say "let us take care of you?" Hmm, let me think.
