It’s time for you to get back to blogging, dear. And I’ve tagged you for a meme to get you started up again. Tell us six random things about yourself and pass it along!

On most issues I’m sure we have mostly the same viewpoints. If you stated something like this and I was a liberal I’d probably be very offended. You should probably try to polish up your arguments a bit. You say that what car you drive is an individuals choice, isn’t that the same argument that pro-choice people have? I definitely know the frustration that comes from arguing with liberals, but keep trying to the the better man (well woman in your case), not to be superior, but because it’s the right thing

Thanks for giving me a good laugh. But honestly, keep thinking about these issues–and about what really matters about them. I’d encourage you to study some issues more in depth–maybe even read some of the “Opposing Viewpoints” books on the issues. It’ll give you a chance to be more informed about the pros and cons and nuances of various positions.

And just so you know, while I’m “officially” more conservative than you (my 30 to your 42), I happen to disagree with a few of the statements you made. I’m not telling you as a “you’re wrong” but as an example of how the liberal vs. conservative (or even more so the democrat vs. republican) dichotomy doesn’t even begin to address the true variation of political thought.

Even if your civics class is causing you frustration, it is nice to know you are actually thinking through the issues and not just getting caught up in arguing “liberal v. conservative” jargon.
