I think that's a good thing to say. But I guess she would take most any criticism it the wrong way, as you said. She just seemed so innocent and had such good intentions that I thought
Why should I argue with anything she's saying? But of course I cringed when she asked why anyone cares about politics. I'm aware that I'm a broken record, but I always want to say, "What if you were gay and being told you couldn't get married and it meant a lot to you to get married? Then wouldn't you care about politics?"
And I cringe so much whenever someone mentions "Have You Forgotten?" Like this person, Darryl Worley is really under the impression that the war is actually about 9/11.
