Comments on: AN EXAMPLE OF TOLERANCE http://citizentom.com/2008/08/03/an-example-of-tolerance/ Welcome to Conservative commentary from Gainesville, Virginia. That's OUTSIDE the Beltway.

Looks like you have written an interesting post.

Civil discourse is not a partisan issue, but uncivil discourse attracts attention. It sells. Too many people love having someone else to blame and to hate. They forget a fundamental truth. We each are our own worse enemy.

What should be most important to each of us having control over our own life. We should each be allowed to seek our own fate. We should each be allowed to identify our own ills and to seek our own cure. Instead, too many of us would rather spend our time telling other people their problems and administering our cures. Yet the best we have to offer anyone is a good example.

It is in all of our interests to make it stop. This is not – or should not be – a partisan issue.

Framing us as “the enemy”

I suppose it was obvious that some would construe my statement to mean that I thought you removed Howling Latina because you objected to the content of her posts. And to be honest, I suspected as much. When I looked at your site, I did not find Howling Latina listed, and I did not see an explanation.

Anyway, I am pleased to hear Lefty Blogs is particular about how it discriminates. ;-)

Kari Chisholm from LeftyBlogs.com here. I’d encourage you to read this blog post before jumping to conclusions. Thanks.
