As I've so often said, I'm very willing to have a civil conversation with you any time, anywhere on any topic.  One of the characteristics of my "old fashioned liberalism" is the willingness to have civil discussions with others who have different opinions... I believe in "open discussion.".....This is, I feel, especially important today when, as a nation, we're so divided on so many issues.  Indeed, I do "preach TOLERANCE".  That doesn't mean I will agree with everything someone says....it means I will listen and respond in a respectful fashion.  

 I have a problem with what I call "new liberalism" on college campuses regarding Freedom of Speech....safe zones,  taboo subjects....and an unwilingness to address some really important topics in a "open" fashion.  I'd have about as much debate with some of these folks as I have with you......civil debate, hopefully. 

 Give me a call for that civil discussion.  regards, Gary
