I think so also. I have always tried to respect that in others. Sadly, it seems so many people these days disrespect that very thing. Sadly, I have to credit much of that to the power of a biased media, which has skewered and deliberately lied to their viewers. When called upon that by people who really study the issues, they hide behind the sobriquet of "being entertainers rather than journalists". Sadly, too many people believe every word these bloviators spew forth and find it necessary to call the rest of us "delusional" when, in fact, they are the very ones being deluded. It is truly frustrating for those of us who really try to get to the bottom of the lies.

Believe me, I am working on it. It truly frustrates me that my son-in-law has exerted his influence over my daughter as well. She knows better and she absolutely will not allow politics to be discussed in her house. I recently had a private long talk with Bailey on the issue of abortion. Her father would probably faint if he knew how she really feels on that matter.

Going to the dogs. My granddaughters are both Republicans, thanks to their father, who is the most uninformed person politically I have ever known.
