Dear compatriots, I beg your indulgence as I broach a subject that has long piqued my curiosity. It appears that certain individuals, professing to uphold the noble virtues of tolerance and compassion, exhibit a propensity for vitriolic diatribes and personal animosity towards those holding divergent views. This paradox has left me bewildered, dear friends.

While conservatives are certainly not immune to criticism, it strikes me as singularly peculiar that liberal luminaries and politicians frequently resort to invective and even advocacy of violence against those who dare challenge their convictions. One cannot help but ponder the underlying motivations behind this phenomenon.

    My dearest Alice:

    I can empathize with your observation. If I may cite some words of wisdom from the good book, “Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces” Matthew 7:6. It is possible we have met our obligations to othets. If they do not reciprocate, then we must not extend grace further.
