Something kinda nice about us. . .
Having been to many of our rallies and town halls and marches, and having seen the signs and visages of those who frankly don't care as much about others as we do,
it occurs to me that we have a lot of something that they seem to lack. Can you guess what it is? Please share if you've noticed the same phenomenon:

1. Yep

Even the guy with Parkinson's who was being terrorized by the money flinging teabaggers had the grace to stay peaceful and not throw hate back. I was proud of the way he handled their thuggery. Whoever you are dude, I wish you the best! If I were rich, I'd send you a check to cover your health insurance for the rest of your life.

13. I hope someone with money and a heart sees this guy
And lifts him up a little with a few bucks. I'm an hourly worker without health insurance myself or I'd do it.

3. Well, our signs have "thank you" on the back
I attended a fairly large rally organized by OFA at Rep. Melissa Bean's office in Schaumburg, IL last Tuesday. A couple hundred of us showed up. A number of people had homemade signs (Honk for Health Care; Get It Done Now, etc.), but many of us took the Organizing for America signs. On the front they say "Standing Together for Health Care Reform" ... and when people driving by gave us the thumbs up or a honk, we were able to turn our signs around to give a great big "Thank You".

I thought it was better than the teabaggers who showed up (after much cell-phoning to call for reinforcements). Theirs were all meanie "socialism" signs and full of negativity.

5. Liberals are generally happier people.
As well as more positive. Works for me.

6. Smiles versus looks of hatred. Conservatives always look pissed and mean. I do
seriously think many conservatives have some pretty heavy needs for professional help. And just looking at the difference in signage is quite telling.

18. Both pictures were taken at the same rally
And judging by the other signs, it was a pro-reform rally.

16. I was thinking smiles before scrolling down to the hint.
We also have empathy and a sense of humor, both of which our opponents have a profound lack of.
