I grew up in a centrist Republican family and that informed my choices since the fifties. At this point, however, I don't care if it comes out that Bill and Hillary stopped off at the Government Printing Office after killing Vince Foster so they could forge Obamas' birth certificate. I have as much Obama fatigue as anyone, but one can vehemently disagree with policies, the right to do so our most cherished one, without stooping to the level of demonization we have all witnessed over the last few years. When I read things like SCUM OF THE EARTH with multiple exclamation points I see it as the written equivalent of shouting the same thing. I hope to hell such posters would never say that to any woman, or man, to their face.
Let's keep in perspective what unites us in this forum and as a nation. We have far, far more in common with each other than this thread has shown lately. I have witnessed and experienced firsthand the camaraderie among fellow sling owners face to face, and a little too much bitterness anonymously. I can be as snarky as anybody else so I speak not only to you but to a mirror. Let's all try to keep from becoming the Polarized Slingshot community.
very well said. We are one.......
