"Be the Change that you wish to see in the world around you" ( you weren't even sure if this was from Gandhi)
David Frum, do you even know the meaning of those hallowed words?
It is a call to attain new understand of the words one speaks through personal sacrifice. Words without action are just that - empty words. But when you make an effort to change - Struggle to remove hatred from your heart and view even your most virulent opponent with empathy and understanding that they are humans too, who are going through the same struggles that you yourself are, you realize the power of your own words.
I agree most of us Democrats don't practice it either. We hate Republicans and what they stand for ( at least I do - Fuck Republican Assholes) - But we dont go around quoting Gandhi; because we understand the meaning of those words and we realize we are not there yet.
"Improve the tone of political discourse" coming from a Republican is like a Serial killer preaching about tolerance and love.
Be careful where you tread - You Miserable , Low-life , Disgraceful, Mother-fucking Son-of-a-Howling Bitch.
