Those who wish to lead must unite a people to succeed. Those who divide are doomed to failure. There will always be people that consider themselves to be superior to everyone. These people will denigrate and ridicule anyone who does not agree with their way of thinking. It is common to see the ill informed, arrogant, and elitist refer to others in generalized terms in an attempt to dehumanize a group or individual. This type of behavior is usually done to make the person doing it to feed their inflated egos and to attempt show others that are superior in some way. The problem lies in the underling reasoning. If you must denigrate another person to somehow feel superior then you are only demonstrating a lack of culture, intelligence, reasoning, and overall humanity. To continue such behavior begins to border on stupidity.
The human race consist of a rainbow of diverse ideas. No two people have the same exact thought process. We form groups for self protection or for common cause, but it is rare for any group to stay totally united unless there is respect within the group. Group think can lead to gang mentality, but generally only when spurred on by a agitating element. Such as external threats or shows of force. People will defend themselves when threatened. In the current environment I don't see acts of violence from the right, since many are now feeling empowered after many years of isolation. The Progressives are the group that seems to be more threatened and are currently committing acts that can inspire their own ranks to some sort of action. I see gang mentality in the egging of buses and the attacks on Tea Party members. When the attacks go from being made on the group to personal attacks and slurs the line has been crossed. Members of the Democrat party, SEIU, other Progressive hate groups, affiliated hate group have crossed the line several times.

Individuals that do wrong must be called out, but the intellectually lazy way that some people attack whole groups with unfounded slurs gains nothing for the whole and diminishes the person behind the attack. Such is the state of the current political debate. Instead of debating issues, the media and those that blindly follow are attacking all who disagree with their agenda. Rational thought and consideration have been reduced to name calling. If you only see the world in black and white then you need to take a long look at yourself.
