I believe it is--as so many times--the tone that is used in such discussions that really matters.

As long as everyone is willing to "simply" sit together, discuss issues at hand, and is willing to find ways to solve them, then discussing political matters is no problem.

But as soon as we bring "politics" into it (party-related issues about who's right and wrong), then we won't get to that "community-centered" discussion but "fight" about Dems and Reps ... And that is what probably many Masons are afraid of will end up happening all alone ...
