Hi Scott,
Maybe I didn't explain it well, or maybe you didn't read my post carefully-it really has little to do with politics-its a mindset.
If an idea of the left/right is presented by the other party, it's put down whether or not the person agrees with the concept...it's not rational. I've seen some very, very angry people villify others in this way.
That has little do with passion. If one was passionate about a particular ideal, it wouldn't/shouldn't matter if it was presented by a republican or a democrat.
I think our Founding Fathers were rational.
