Cable news makes me sick. People walking around their work places spouting their political opinions as loudly as they can while mocking the other side (while not even caring that people who hold different views are sitting in the same room) makes me sick. It's gotten to the point that if anyone brings up anything political, I just politely choose not to enter the conversation. Unfortunately, I see a lot of the same attitudes in church. I live in a very conservative-fundamentalist area. I make sure I keep my personal views on evolution, women, theology, etc. to myself when talking with Christians from different churches. I'd rather talk about things we can agree on. Awesome post. Cable news makes me sick.
