Need to feel connected to like-minded individuals. I have lots of liberal friends. They are dear, lovely wonderful people as individuals, but they are awash in the liberal philosophy. It's all emotion with them. When it comes to social or political discourse, all they can do is spout liberal talking points.

Somes I just need an oasis where I can exchange thoughts with thinking, rational people.

    Betty, I find that I can have liberal acquaitances, but not liberal friends. Our thinking and values are not compatible on such a basic level. But I found real friends here in the Gulch, and I cherish them. I hope you find a home here, too.

    Welcome to the Gulch, Betty.

    I have found myself shedding those who cause my head to explode from their irrational blather. When all their arguments contain is vitriol, without any basis in fact, I cannot continue to avail myself of their company. It's in my rational self interest to cut bait, so to speak. I do think you will find rational discourse here.

    Welcome, Betty.
    I find it interesting that you can describe liberals as "dear, wonderful, lovely people" and friends, and then look for rationality. Sounds kinda contradictory to me.
    You should find some rational discussion here.
    Enjoy.
