Sorry, I wasn’t being clear. I wasn’t saying you took anything out of context, I was just making the observation that it is one of those articles you have to read the entire thing closely to avoid that pitfall.

I have often opined that I am grateful to liberals for their inadvertent skill at telegraphing the entirety of what they are going to say in the first few words or sentences of a lengthy discourse. I have likely added years to my life by reading the first few words and realizing: “Okay. XXX is bad. YYY is evil. ZZZ is criminal.” When I read the entire article, I am rarely surprised, so they perform a service. It is the same when you hear a communist using the term “running dog capitalist”, you don’t really have to listen. You know exactly where they are coming from and what they will say.

This article written by a liberal is not one of those.

Sorry about the misunderstanding, poor communication on my part.

I try to be aware of my own propensity for “shorthand thinking.” It’s easy for me to pigeon hole based on any number of factors. And I’m more often right than wrong (by my lights.)

However, this one caught my eye based on the pivot point she chose - that being forgiveness. That concept has been cheapened, corrupted even.

It was just refreshing and encouraging to see that even suggested as a course of action.
