Chris Mathews made an interesting and relevant point

27. Some pundit suggested that Democrats suffer from battered wife syndrome. I don't like that analogy,

But the public has been conditioned to think the only way to respond to bullying is to become a worse one. It's degrading all of society, dragging it down.

That's how I feel listening to the wing nut pundits, it's like listening to a drunk who is violent and abusive, used to getting their way and it shows. Their much too familiar tone of voice and reasoning makes about as much sense as someone fixing to pass out on the floor.

That's what the media is feeding us with examples of people being rude, cruel, disdainful to others and all living things as if it's funny and clever. It's the real culture of death to me, they shred the conscience of humanity and take it down to a very low level.

JMHO.
