If ONLY the Left was crawling around in the hills...
...you might have a point.
Living here in the PacNW where we have ultra-conservative freaks crawling through the hills with large-caliber weapons, gunning for any "nigger, kike, or sand nigger" that comes across their imagined "white paradise" for the "god-fearing conservatives" that this country was made for.
Each side has it's loony element. The conservatives have the NRA Neo-nazi extremist wackos, the liberals have tree-hugging ecofreaks. If you close your mind to the possibility of one side being wrong, you're no better than the Taliban.
"He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you." - Friedrich Nietzsche
