We Said He Said

It seems to me that the reason the Left and Right have such a rift between them in this country today is due to words. That's right WORDS. The vocabulary of each side is so distinctly different from the other that we are having a difficult time communicating our actual intended thoughts. Being the moderator that I am, here is a guideline to help all of those on the left and right understand one another.

Ronald Reagan told the story of a republican politician who came to a democratic state to give a stump speech. He could only find one farmer to listen to him. He asked the farmer for something to stand on to deliver his speech. The farmer pointed to a mound of horse manure so he climbed up and started to pontificate. Afterwords the farmer said, "that was pretty good, it was the first time I have ever liked a republican speech." the politician said "thanks, it was the first time I have ever delivered a republican message from a democratic platform."
