I'm not attacking anyone but Rush Limbaugh for his dirty tricks in demonizing words. And I wasn't even on here when your post was hidden, so I had nothing at all to do with it.

I have EXPERIENCE from living in a Red State all my life, I'm sorry if you are opposed to my sharing it, but if you are then that's your problem. How can "both sides" ever communicate if we don't look at the ways that the PTB have made that difficult? We need to run around being afraid to point out difficulties because in doing so someone else will look for key words to use to demonize us?

Sorry, I'm not playing that "you're not a good liberal IF' game. I'm a person with views, I don't need a label to survive, the key is that no one does.

And how did I label you???????? I said I couldn't figure out what this person was attacking, I called you a person, and you said I was quick to label?
