It's that anger! Prevents commonunity.

Don't mind turning the other cheek, got friends who feel liberal views are an outrage as they follow the directions of some on DayStar. That particular cheek is now "normally
reddened.

Its a terrible thing that results in consistent distrust, it turns into a rubber stamp, and that is just wrong and bad. Worse, tooo many times when the Dems really need to be united, we become splintered-THIS time we need the Unity. WE certainly have the quantity, all we need is the unity-the democratic republic is in more jeopardy than have ever seen it in my 60 years.
