The conclusory assumptions drawn by the alleged author of the letter tell you more about the author -- and his/her bias -- than anything else.

It does exemplify much that has gone wrong with our society. For far too many people, the minute they find out someone's perspective on one thing, they lump them all in together. What? You don't agree with Obama on ________________? Well, you must be a racist, war-mongering RWNJ who probably believes in that ridiculous Jesus and wants all women barefoot and pregnant and keeping the house, you must hate blacks, lesbians, Muslims, gays, blah, blah, blather.

And yes, it goes both ways.

But how does labeling and criticizing get us anywhere down the road? This is the same BS that our so-called representatives are doing in Washington, pointing fingers and calling names.

After the dust settles, we're still in the same place.

And aside from some residual bitterness, the only difference is that we're just covered with dust.
