No matter how strongly you feel about something, I don't find it appropriate to scrutinize and become angry with other because they don't agree with you. Politcal discussion has a way of making people act like this.

Politics, like religion, is at the core of many people's beliefs and value systems, and when there is even a possibility that your argument is starting to make sense and get through to them, they become defensive rather than admitting they are wrong and changing their core world view.

If a conversation cannot continue thoughtfully and respectfully, then essentially, there is no conversation.
People who can actually think about what they want to say before they say it can logically discuss politics.
However, there are many people out there that don't have the courage to stand their ground without fighting and that is really what makes discussing politics a hard row to hoe.
Don't bother with the people who are incapable of learning. Brush them off like a piece of lint.

The polical picture has changed so much over the last decade. Politics has become a far left and far right problem in the USA.

Politics are funny that way they "force" people to choose a side. People choose that side and want to defend it. We all have our own morals and we think we're right, refusing to be persuaded to the other side and tearing down any arguments made by the other side, no matter what.

Because they don't have the ability or the ammunition for a level-headed debate. In its place, they resort to trying to demean the other side so as to minimallize their point of view.

They were not jerks out there.
They were living in misery with self lack of knowledge.
Not everyone were well educated like you.
Do give them a break.
Understand their misery out there.
Just having communication problems with misinterpretation, miscommunication, communication failures and communication break-down out there.

Because this is all a lot of people have to do. No one likes it when their core beliefs are called into question.

You're right. But remember that Republican operatives like Karl Rove and his Senators infiltrate these boards and try to scare people to death. Ignore them.
