Moonbats and wingnuts

Who would have ever thought that these would be words, let alone be such hateful words.

I get really tired of being called a wingnut. I get really tired of people who have a differing viewpoint spewing venom at one another. I don't mind getting into a debate with someone, but make your points without stooping to making comments about my children in order to make your weak-ass point.

Why can't we all just debate without attacking? Am I guilty of it, too? I feel like I've come around a little through the course of my blog. I never understood the impact my words would have on someone's emotional responses to my politics.

I've been attacked for calling myself a conservative. I've been attacked for calling myself a Republican. I've been criticized for my views on the war, my opinion of President Bush and even for wanting to throw a bachelorette party.

I've been using restraint and not throwing out the moonbat term anymore because I have figured out that it actually stings a little when I feel like someone is calling me a wingnut simply because we don't share the same points of view. You can find the war on terror utterly preposterous if you want to.

I'm just tired of all the political BS.

In the infamous words of Rodney King : Why can't we all just get along?

He may have been a druggie, but he was right. Why do we all have to take things so personally? We can agree to disagree and still be friends, but I'm tired of all the ugly exchanges and criticisms. Not sure why, but this has really been bothering me for a few days.
