Oh, no, certainly I don't. There are right-wing mouthbreathers as well who I have similar disdain for. I guess I don't like people approaching issues as a partisan and not as a thinker.

>>You would be right. I wouldn't expect something like what I posted from you. But it's what I believe and what I've seen from partisans for decades. Given a choice between pissing off people I respect and what I see as the truth I'll chose the truth. Sorry.

>>>JK >>>Ankle-biters are also myopic. Good, reasonable people like Tamar and Mike Beane will throw logic completely out the door when opining politically if it interferes with their world-view. It's not that they can't entertain another point of view logically, it's like a door to an alternate universe that's closed to them. They literally can't see alternative viewpoints.

>>>JK >I'm sorry you find this offensive I just can't understand the robotic agreement with improbable explanations if they come from a politically friendly source. It's why I could never be a card-carrying Republican or Democrat - you have to accept too much on faith and question nothing, apparently. I say question everything and settle on what holds the most water.

>>>FWIW, I also find offensive the thing that you and John Harvey have done several times lately, where you have a "private" convsersation here in which you characterize some group of people and tell us all what's wrong with them. You'll note that I go out of my way not to characterize groups of people. I'll make comments about individuals in the public eye. I'll even occasionally post info from a study that looks at the behavior of various groups. But I think you'd be hard put to find anything from me like the first paragraph of yours that I quoted above.
