I know I have temper issues. But this comment on Balloon Juice really got my blood boiling (Emphasis, mine):
No Rome, it’s not just you who hates Christianity, it’s most of the left. You’re in good company. Louder now freaks, I can’t hear you!
I'll argue with just about any extreme "leftist", but if I had heard this statement within earshot, my first inclination would be to send a fist into the speaker's jaw for such an asinine statement. I may not agree with them, but I know this is far from the truth about the type of people who make up the "left".
I know it shouldn't bother me, especially since this commenter is probably just a troll on that blog. But it's his presence there does more damage to the "right"'s image than anything anybody from the opposite spectrum can do. Which makes me think that he's a spoof at times.
I also don't like the terms "left", "right", "conservative", and "liberal" in the political spectrum because their meaning changes depending on time and place. The are useless words to me. I may elaborate in a latter post.
