Ok, I forgive the corporations for pretending global warming is a myth. Now what?
And to equally acknowledge that liberals have dismissed "natural rights" as a mythical
religion, or blocking access to knowledge of spiritual healing that could have saved lives, too,
while lowering the cost of preventing crime and disease to offer sustainable health care to more people.
If you can see the Left has equally denied things that could have prevented loss and waste,
then the next step is to approach people as equals, to solve mutual problems,
and work together on corrections. When you can see both sides have done this in different areas that were critical.

I forgive them for trying to deny gays the rights that straight people have. Now what?
And to equally acknowledge that people pushing pro-gay agenda have
also insulted and excluded the equal beliefs of others.
So that both sides can work together to prevent these conflicts from imposing either way!
And also forgive the liberal Democrats who kept taking political donations from the rich and poor, claiming they were going to help end poverty and dependence, but only pushed more legislation to keep their jobs and careers afloat.
Well, if all your views are onesided, and conditioned on ignoring the wrongs that are done equally, that is why both sides stay stuck!

And I'll tell you who started this. The GOP. They started negotiating from as far right a position as the could on every issue. So because they started the negotiations so far right, any compromise with a person like that means the solution is going to be center right. This is how the GOP, even though they are the minority party, has been able to push this country to the right. To the right as far as religion, taxes, wages, labor, jobs, social issues.
Hmmm ... and they will say it was the left that decided to "rebel" against the notion of natural rights coming from God while working toward limited govt, and decided instead to worship government and make people dependent on those programs and political parties
instead of learning to manage and govern themselves independently!
SB said:
It wasn't the left that shifted to the far left position. It was the right that moved to the far right. They did it on purpose. They knew this tactic would get them the most right wing solutions to every problem. Great example is the debt ceiling. They started so far right on that negotiation that in the end, a compromise was to cut ss and medicare. So they got their way.
If us liberals tried that they'd go ape shit.
Yes, that's WHY they are going [batcrazy]
because the liberals HAVE shifted from just wanting equal freedom and choice
to FORCING health care mandates, and gay marriage policies etc. on people
without their consent, which is anti-choice.
That's EXACTLY why the Right and Left are equally upset.
Take all your conditions above, and substitute what the Right complains
about the Left, and you see you have equal sides both blaming the other.
SB this is NOT forgiveness.
As long as you are only projecting blame "one way"
that is a sign of not forgiving conflicts from the past,
so it is coming out that way.
People who truly forgive see both sides and share blame and responsibility equally.
The point at which you can see both sides are equally at fault,
that will take forgiving all the circumstances that went into these issues.
So that's how you can tell.
As long as one side "blames the other more than themselves"
something is not forgiven and being projected forward, onto the group outside themselves.
Whatever you feel right now, if you can imaging the Right feels the same way and doesn't see how they contributed, that's like you not seeing how the Left does either.
