I perceive a big difference between the left and the right is that the first works through their disagreements and work together, while with the second the most minor disagreement is a deal killer and bridge burner. During the rally period there were "Latino activists" who hated each other but would carpool to an event - all the while berating one another for "lack of commitment" to the cause. Then they would yell "racist" through a bullhorn for a few hours, pile back into the car and berate one another all the way back. Then next week they'd do it all over again. The individual egos are too big on the anti illegal side, I'm not sure just how to classify it: Individualists; power trippers; cranky, one way assholes; certainly there is a tinge of the far right lunatic fringe to some of it, and the movement has revolved too much around conflicting personalities rather than a common cause. I believe that the far left has no more than 20% of the population, so how to explain all their gains? Answer: their opposition being divided. The portion of the 80% of the population which might be effective commits political suicide by fighting over everything and stabbing each other in the back. I figure that if there is 80% agreement there is room for accommodation and we can work out our differences later on, with the exception of genuine racism. I have no time for any sort of racists, white, brown, black, Indian, I have no use for any of them.

I am just waiting for the big baboom! There are millions of us out here who feel the same way, we are just tired of talking.
