Agree to Disagree, Like Adults

Siggy, of SigmundCarl&Alfred, the world’s most famous three-headed shrink has a marvelous two-parter up about the escalating row between several right-of-center bloggers. Part 1. Part 2.

‘Ideas are meant to provoke thought, not necessarily agreement.’

Grownups understand that.

Criticism is not a zero sum game – it not an all or nothing proposition. We can criticize and disagree and still share core beliefs. To believe otherwise is to play the game the way the Democrats are in this presidential campaign. The hatred between Obama and Clinton is vicious and visceral and when the dust settles, no amount of sawdust will clean up the bloodbath. The same is true of this latest LGF-GOV dust up.

Well done! Now if they would just take their turns on the couch, this marriage could be saved! United we stand, divided we fall. And believe me, the enemy is happy right now at the divisiveness.

UPDATE: If you are so inclined, help GoV keep blogging by hitting their tin cup.
