Us vs. Them: What Do You Call People Who Divide Society?

David Brooks began his column today: “Politics, some believe, is the organization of hatreds. The people who try to divide society on the basis of ethnicity we call racists. The people who try to divide it on the basis of religion we call sectarians. The people who try to divide it on the basis of social class we call either populists or elitists.” Now what do we call the people who divide it on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity?

Oh yeah, call everyone names, real smart. Makes REAl men out of all of ya. The truth is you name callers are all losers, no matter what you call the other side, and be sure to add:

“Winner” to their side , and “loser” to your own.

Keep it up,call everyone who disagrees with you vile names, see how your support grows every day. (Not)

Thanks for making sure your PUBLIC comments find their way to those (fill in the blank) that make good use of them.

Thanks Terrwill, with friends like you around who needs more enemies?

Apparently, you do not keep up with the news or the pulse of the nation.

By BEN FELLER, Associated Press Writer Ben Feller, Associated Press Writer – 43 mins ago

WASHINGTON – Facing a divided Congress and a dissatisfied nation, President Barack Obama will unveil a jobs-heavy agenda in his State of the Union address Wednesday, retooling his message more than his mission.

As to the comment about name-calling, you seem to be doing a pretty good job of that yourself.

We could simply call them what we’ve always called them… although being a gentleman I rarely use such language!

“Tyrants”? “Fascists”? “Holier than thou”?
