To The Daily Sun,
In a recent conversation with a new acquaintance (a Democrat), she stated that we just couldn't discuss politics since I self-identify as something other than a Democrat. What does one say to such a statement?
I have often wondered what all-encompassing, omniscient body of knowledge Democrats must possess to make them so certain that they are always right and always have the moral high ground about every issue. There are exceptions, of course, but it is my experience that conservatives and libertarians tend to be far more open to discussion than most liberals and progressives.

Mr. Tracy. I agree that not ALL conservatives are intolerant. It used to be that I had a lot of conservative friends I could have a civil disagreement with. Now it seems that most of the anger and threats of violence are coming from Conservatives. I do not know you. Maybe you are not like that and I could sit down with you over a coffee.
