I think robust debate is good for our country, for strengthening our values, and for sharpening the application of our values. In an effort to promote legitimate debate between you and me by avoiding caricatures of each other, I suggest the following:
1. Stop calling me stupid when I disagree with you.
2. Just because I disagree with you doesn't mean I am hate-filled. Just because I am pro-life and am not pro-gay marriage doesn't mean I hate gays and women. Just because you oppose the war in Iraq, or Afghanistan, or Vietnam or every war doesn't mean you hate soldiers.
3. Stop calling me a racist if I don't buy what our current President is selling.
My question to you: What do I do that caricatures you and hinders our debate?
