I've been hunting for websites and books on civil discourse. I'll have to look up your friend's book and maybe share it with as many people as I can. I really want to be able to discuss important issues without offending or being offended because I agree that we can't hear each other when we're screaming nasty names. Thank you for this.

The attempt to portray this president (Of all people!) as a socialistic, left wing extremist doesn’t even pass the giggle test for people who have bothered to pay attention to their times and their history. Let’s face it - Franklin D. Roosevelt, he ain’t! They can’t obstruct his agenda with a manufactured scandal regarding his personal life, as they did with Bill Clinton. eleven years ago. Their only hope is for enough of the American people to become really frightened by the Big, Bad Negro Commie. An ironic description when one takes into consideration how boringly moderate Obama really is. Think about this: In the last presidential campaign only one of the nominees of the two major political parties was born in the United States - Barack Obama - John McCain was born in Panama. Do you find it as revealing as I do that it was the black guy had his citizenship called into question? How much more proof do we need of the overt racism that is inherent in that party - or in our own country for that matter? Honestly, this isn’t rocket science, folks! But wait! It gets better! Now Glenn Beck is slated to become the Martin Loony King of the Far Right thanks to his stupid “March on Washington” yesterday.

I am often surprised to discover my own prejudices revealed when I didn't know I had any. I sense a greater level of anger in the world around me and I don't always understand where it is coming from. My Lord died on a cross so we may know His loving grace. I would like to help others turn to Him for that grace in their hearts. I enjoy InSpirity . . . keep up the hard work. Miss You and your positive attitude. Well said.
