The establishment allows more leeway to the left, and you have picked up on it and feel entitled to reciprocate. This is what creates the hostility. To the italicized point, you are the outlier. Your tolerance for being pushed around is smaller than most others, and you are lashing out in ways that MOST other people are not. You might not think you are broken, but you are the biproduct of a broken system, and adopting those measures is a form of brokenness. You would not behave like this if you believed there standards were being evenly applied. 

To the moderates on this board, this brokenness is what I have been referencing. Do you waste time on those who are being broken, or do you look to the source? If you don't demand impartiality of standards and root those standards in something measurable, things will get worse. Outside of us holding our institutions accountable, the only solution is for one side to capture power and politically persecute the other until there is no dissent, and a new norm is established. Maybe it's peaceful, maybe it isn't, but Ronster's right about the current political climate.

The people here who mock him are ignorant, not enlightened. That is not to say he's right to behave the way he does, but it shouldn't' be taken lightly.

Give ‘em an inch…..I grew up watching the right “compromise and try to find middle ground. But the left took that as sign of weakness and abused the right, for years and years. Those days are over, now we take a stand and draw the preverbal line in the sand and say NO MORE!!

Let’s hope it’s not too little too late, ya?
