That would be a deal killer, along with tobacco, drugs, and alcohol.

So the republican is open minded enough to be involved with a liberal but not vice versa?

"Delighting in existence, O monks, are gods and men; they are attached to existence, they revel in existence. When the Dhamma for the cessation of existence is being preached to them, their minds do not leap towards it, do not get pleased with it, do not get settled in it, do not find confidence in it. That is how, monks, some lag behind."
- It. p 43

The Daily Show. Good gawd!! Great, biting satire and commentary at times, but hardly a basis for a careful, considered criticism.
Au contraire...

That is less than helpful. Which part are you being contrary to?

Dude? Seriously? Well, this "dude" is also half African and was primarily raised in the United States. In the United States, even being halfies, he is considered African American, and he so identifies himself. Next, indeed.

I have no idea what you mean by this statement, chownah.
“No lists of things to be done. The day providential to itself. The hour. There is no later. This is later. All things of grace and beauty such that one holds them to one's heart have a common provenance in pain. Their birth in grief and ashes.”
- Cormac McCarthy, The Road

Learn this from the waters:
in mountain clefts and chasms,
loud gush the streamlets,
but great rivers flow silently.
