SHELL-SHOCKED FROM THE CULTURE WARS

Compliments paid to those with whom you disagree. All the nastiness about "the left," the "homosexual agenda," the "attack on the family," "anti-Catholic bigotry," "America-hating, buck-toothed lefty dork[s]," and so on, has gotten me a little depressed. Jim Joyner graciously provides an antidote: kind words about people with whom he often disagrees. I'm on the list, so I appreciate the kind words for personal reasons as well, but Jim's generosity should be emulated.
