1. Kumbia is a great camp song, sung by generations and has been bringing kids together for years. Scoffing at the very idea of trying to create a community, whether it be around a campfire, a song, or a common belief is disgusting and counter-productive. If I hear another bad word about a fine song such as Kumbia, I am going to spit bullets.
2. I think you mean "fanciful" and not fancy. I also think you mean "does" and not "dose", although one can't be sure. Either way it is one "dose" too many.
3. No one wants to be a crime victim whether they are liberal or conservative. Cultural awareness does not mean tolerance of crime. I am to the left of Bernie Sanders, but I have no tolerance for lawbreakers. Liberals deplore crime. Liberals are more likely to side with police officers and their unions, in promoting better pay and conditions than conservatives. Conservatives have NO IDEA how police officers get paid and think that we ought to just form posses instead.
4. There is nothing wrong with trying to get along, and working toward ways that we can do that. One alternative to getting along is holing up in a cabin somewhere hating the other half of America, believing more in the power of a gun than in the power of ideas.
5. Many liberals, such a myself, understand that the 2nd Amendment was enacted so that the citizenry would never be powerless against a despotic government. There were times in the last eight years under conservatives when I thought we might see armed militias. In any case, this liberal, and millions of others fully support the 2nd Amendment, although we don't want Uzis in our inner city neighborhoods or schools. Saying we are "anti-gun" doesn't make it so. Canada has plenty of guns. What we are is anti-violence.
6.By the way, how's that conservative stuff workin' out for you -- Wall Street has completely collapsed, we lost our automakers, millions are out of work and millions more soon will be, food banks are running low, we have secret prisons around the world and have used the Geneva Convention as toilet paper completing eroding any good will we may have had around tghe world, we invaded the wrong country at at cost of ten billion a month and countless lives, we are trying to put missiles in Poland to protect us from I am not sure what, and your bozo of a President is in Peru today while the country burns to the ground metaphorically. Conservatism is over except as a method of obstructionism to better ideas. You betcha. You can pardon a turkey, but there is no pardoning the selection of a person whose only skill is climbing over the bodies of other Republicans.
Aloha oe!
