Last night after the crazy encounter with the dingers Kadizzle got a call from Shirley. Shirly heads up the local Tea Party. She is a voice of reason in a sea of wild emotions. The conversation with Shirley was very educational, and she has the sympathy of Kadizzle. Shirley has to balance various groups with vastly different views of the world. If she succeeds we will send her to the middle east to negotiate a peace between Israel and the Palestinians.
Here is her dilemma. You cannot have free speech and censorship at the same time. Kadizzle got a brief history of the Tea Party in Payson. Shirley said at one time the group was inclusive, but the liberals told other liberals not to participate and the Tea Party became more exclusive. Shirley said originally the Tea Party had participation from liberals, liberaltarians, and Republicans. Some how just like the country the groups split.
Both Shirley and Kadizzle agreed about the need for people to just talk calmly and share views. That is not politics today.
Shirley was kind enough to hear Kadizzle out about the whole Kevin Cramer rumor circulating among his distractors. Shirley suggested a pow wow where maybe four people with different perspectives could work out a peace treaty. Seemed like a great idea.
How are we going to depolarize the country? Calm talking would be a good start.
For now that is the news from Lake Wobegon.
