Wingnuts: Slinging Names and Stereotypes in the Name of Progress

A Wingnut is a person who is (currently) considered a right wing conservative. Someone who sticks to closely to their own political motives and agendas that they cannot see beyond their own ideology. Nothing can change their minds, nothing will sway their vote. They will argue and laugh away the competition.

What happens when people get frustrated with people of this mindset is that they begin to label them as “X” type of person. Once the label is applied, the observer becomes no better than the Wingnut. Why? Because they cannot see past the Wingnuts ideology and recognize the human being that exists within. It is easy to discredit others by listening to a few of their ideas and immediately labeling them based upon that.

This health insurance crisis is surrounded by Wingnut and Wingnut slingers. It stops conversation on both ends. Open up and listen to one another…listen closely, some people are not so concrete in their ideas as one may think.
