Rational vs Emotional logic
I am seriously debating whether or not to respond to the e-mail I received from one of my gay friends that cannot write a decent e-mail to save his life. While the underlying reason of the e-mail concerns same sex equality rights, the e-mail spent more time comparing Bush's administration to the early beginnings of the Nazis to saluting Michael Moore as the one who opened their eyes to insulting anyone who might not agree with their "rational" ideas. Never once during his entire 5,000 word e-mail did he try to lay out one logical reason why I should join in supporting him and the Human Rights campaign, an organization that he recently joined that is dedicated to creating equal rights for the Gay-Lesbian-Bisexual-Transgendered community.
While the liberals try and state the Republicans are the ones creating a divided nation, its emails like this that really make you question what is really going on here. If my friend seriously wanted to rally support, he could have done it in a manner that wouldn't insult majority of the people he was trying to convert in thinking. Instead, he just reinforced the idea that majority of liberals are becoming ranting and raving conspiracy theory lunatics.
