Offensive

If someone told you the sky was red and green stripes with sprinkles on it, you'd be correct to label them stupid, insane or perhaps both and no one would disagree.

Yet, when someone makes an equally as ignorant statement regarding politics and you point out their stupidity or insanity it is a whole other issue.

When it's politics you're labeled 'offensive' or 'racist' or some other incendiary word. And this is something very troublesome to me.

You see, in this great country everyone has a right to their own opinion in politics, even if it's wrong, stupid, ignorant and without any basis in reality. I respect that 'right'. But I don't have to respect their ignorant positions or opinions though. And that is where the trouble lies.

When I point out to my left leaning friends the inaccuracies of their logic or prove them wrong, most of them whine and scream like little 3 yr olds. They call me offensive, racists, hateful etc.

Then they tell me they have the RIGHT to their opinion.

Well, if you're opinion is that 2 + 2 = 7, well I'm sorry,,, ,you're stupid. That's not an opinion,,, that's called being wrong.

And most of them just can't accept that they're wrong.

Very sad!!
