I was suprised the first time it happened-- over a year ago. And the first time I got attacked for merely holding an award-- 3 years ago. But now I'm used to it.
That people of good will attack me for arguing or merely disagreeing with idiots, that still bothers me, but it doesn't surprise me.
But I've learned that there is no point in trying to discuss Democrats rationally in a Republican bar. When a small group holds the bully pulpit and I have opinions that vary from theirs, there is no point in trying to have useful conversation about them. But when a small group is merely filibustering, sometimes a quiet word will be heard. An argument never will, for it just gives them an excuse to attack those who disagree.
