From My Personal Experience, Rachel Lucas Is Correct - Conservatives ARE Nicer Than Liberals

The piece below wasn't much of a revelation for me. I've been an observer of human nature for quite some time, and in general, most of the conservatives I've know are nicer than most liberals I know. This statement was particularly true in college. Anyway, Rachel Lucas yet again makes some very good points in her latest entry.

I really wish it wasn't so though. I'd love to have a fair, honest debate on the actual issues. That doesn't even seem possible anymore due to the Politically Correct nature of politics these days. I truly wish that we could get beyond all of the labels, but it just isn't happening folks. Then again, I should be a Democrat, right? Just for once, I'd like to be debated on what I actually say, not the Republican National Committee's talking points. Since when does identifying with a political party mean that you have to agree with everything position that party has taken? I'd love to know.

Yet Another Interruption

Life just has a way of disrupting everything. I had a very personal errand to take care of yesterday, and I ended up seeing most of my family (more on that later; there is a great story behind it all). As worried as I was about the outcome, it couldn't have come to a better resolution.

As it happens, Tuesday would have been my Grandpa Buttrick's 83rd birthday. Sadly, we lost him last June. That is why we pretty much all congregated at my Grandma Buttrick's house yesterday. We all miss him terribly. It is hard to believe that he passed away close to a year ago.

Much more to come as always,

Lindsey

PS - There won't be a "Profile of a Writer" yet again this week. I want to do it right.
