What public figure do you disagree with the most?

View all responses

In my blog I mostly stay away from specific political commentary. There is so much intensity in political discourse these days, at least if we use the media sources as our indication, and expressing an opinion can lead to attacks and threats. It’s sad. Disagreement is not the problem. Americans have disagreed since the beginning. I do not agree with the political views of some of my neighbors, but we get along fine. We focus on what have in common. Everyone has a right to their opinion. Everyone has a right to disagree. The Constitution protects these rights. It seems many people have become afraid of disagreement, as though, it threatens their rights to think the way they do. There are public political figures I don’t like, but I won’t name them. I will say the best politicians are the ones who are honest, talk straight, don’t take themselves too seriously, focus on the common good, never malign an opponent to prompt themselves up, and avoid too many terms in office. These days, it seems like a short list.
