Others I've run into can't get past "I listen to the right people, and you don't."<br /><br />It's one thing to say, "These experts are right." But it's not enough if it ends with that. Explain and give examples. We're all reasonably bright, here. An argument with substance should be possible from someone with the least clue *why* they agree with the experts they cite, if the reason is actually more thoughtful than, "I like what they say because it affirms my preconceptions."<br /><br />(Note, please, I'm not arguing that anyone who understands an issue automatically has the right conclusions. That's the realm of the left, where "truth" is so obvious there can be no honest difference of opinion, and thus anyone not thinking correctly is evil.)Synovahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01311191981918160095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-12409440698024046182011-08-02T21:23:02.507-05:002011-08-02T21:23:02.507-05:00garbage is engaging in an absolutely vicious tacti...garbage is engaging in an absolutely vicious tactic.<br /><br />The Tea Party has never committed an act of violence.<br /><br />garbage apparently is planning to commit violence.

Wonder what baby they will kidnap next?</i>"<br /><br />Sounds like a television show where the kidnapper is acting all tough and making demands, thinking they possess the baby. <br /><br />The punch-line is always that the good guys steal the baby away without letting the kidnapper know they've got the baby safe while the kidnapper goes on attempting to threaten no to pay old people their social security checks... I mean, threaten to hurt the baby, and then the baby is revealed and all the good-guys go, "Sucker!"<br /><br />Alternatively, it sounds like Al Gore crying like a baby because he wasn't as good at "stealing" an election as Bush was, no matter how hard he tried.<br /><br />Really... Obama's team attempted to kidnap the baby, including making threats and demanding concessions. Success, and rather *limited* success, does not make the Republicans guilty and Obama and the Dems innocent.

Almost everything I was doing, as a Leftist, was kind of like an investigation. I already had my values, and they were unshakable, but there were all these behaviors and rituals that I knew nothing about, that always took place in dark and smoky rooms with lots of hallways off of them. <br /><br />So I tried things, always going further, until I was attracted to following a speck of sunlight, and then desiring warmth. I can still remember coming out of a club at 5AM and seeing a milkman - a milkman, after all these years - and thinking, "He's going to work and I'm going to sleep: something's wrong with this picture." I started getting up early just because after that. <br /><br />It was only a matter of time.<br /><br />I got up at 4:30AM today.The Crack Emceehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08366101526773588864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-67862225354963263412011-08-02T18:36:16.930-05:002011-08-02T18:36:16.930-05:00Not gonna happen, garage.Not gonna happen, garage.Original Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01714345479248980398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-74583858902775753632011-08-02T18:26:42.472-05:002011-08-02T18:26:42.472-05:00Otherwise, I was just doing my thing - which I now...<i>Otherwise, I was just doing my thing - which I now can see was always conservative - and kept going Left until I came out the other side. </i><br /><br />Heh.
