Opposite Sides of the Fence

Posted under My Observations

   I was floating around the blogsphere yesterday minding my own business.  Lurking, commenting, checking out boobies here and basically avoiding work as much as possible. 

 

  Yeah, business is slow right now…

 

   It was during this surfing I stumbled on a post that made me sit up and go, “Huh.”

 

I found the Blog Antagonist from “Blogs are Stupid” through my friend KT at “When Did I Become a Grownup”. 

 

 

As I read her post “I F****ing Hate Politics” I found myself agreeing with her.  She talked how we need to find tolerance for individuals.  Avoid shouting matches just to get your points across.  This isn’t about chest thumping and who can market themselves best.  This is about working together and to find common ground. 

 

I really have to tell you I enjoyed her rant.  She wrote what I’ve been thinking and saying to people concerning this election.  Best line in the post was “People who don’t agree with you are not stupid or immoral. They just believe differently.”  Good stuff.

 

The irony of all this is that I didn’t look at her site very closely until after I had read her post and commented.  The Blog Antagonist has Pet Issues and Causes displayed prominently on her site.  Most of them I would not support myself.

 

But I will gladly fight for her right to support them.  And her right to speak her mind. 

 

Opposites can agree.  Take that Washington…
