As it happens, I had just finished reading an article about actor Brad Pitt’s mother receiving numerous death threats for voicing conservative views in a letter to an editor. The article implied that the elderly Mrs. Pitt is, essentially, in hiding as a result of the “kisses” being blown at her by liberals. This story reminded me of the numerous other news stories I’ve seen and read over recent years about physical attacks on conservative speakers. Ann Coulter, Karl Rove, Glen Beck (to name a few) have had insults, water ballons, shoes, pies and other objects hurled at them in recent years. Why? Because they were speaking. Are these more Michael Ray kisses? How many American conservatives have been banned from speaking at college commencements? Several. I am not aware of corresponding behavior from the other side. Mr. Ray’s comments seem to add fuel to the argument that liberal positions are emotion based, conservatives, more logic oriented. Obamacare is a great exampleof the divide. I am conservative and oppose it. Not because I want anyone to suffer, quite the opposite. I travel the world for a living and see government health care at work every month…..it is, universally, a disaster. I saw a bumper sticker on a car, in Laguna of all,places, that summed up my concerns perfectly: If you think health care is expensive now, wait until it’s free. It’s not about hate, Mr. Ray, it’s about reality.
