    It's very easy to get drawn back in, I feel it's already happened to me. "Eternal Vigilance " comes to mind and certainly there is a poster or two I will likely have to virtually stop communications with entirely.
    I think it's actually easier in real discourse where you are looking at someone.

    Righties are knuckle draggers and low brows who think "Fun with Dick and Jane" is deep reading! Any questions?
    Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I digress....

    This is why voting should be a privilege and not a right.

    Your attempt at "reinforcing bruised State Dept. family egos" is a fools errand. IMO, you cannot help those at Foggy Bottom - Europe. You and your lot need to put your "egos" aside and do your damned jobs and stop playing the wilted Lilly bull$#@!.

    It's obvious that at least on the left, there will not be a change in tone. I don't know if it's even possible at this point. I think the need to hyperbolize everything is instilled in most left wing types.

    Tell that to the families of state department workers overseas and their families facing threats not only from terrorism but from a president disliked en masse.
