Quote:I don't know, my friend... I'm not trying to nit pick, but throwing out a blanket term, like liberal in the context you did implies you think liberals are by default all untrustworthy... especially in the light of the history you have in terms of what you've previously written.


I'm pointing this out to hopefully get you to reconsider some of the biases I've read. You don't have to listen, of course....


But please consider this... I try very hard not to use blanket statements about republicans or conservatives, because I know individuals behave differently than how the corporate media portrays them.


Plus, blanket statements put people on the defensive.... of course I do blanket corporations... But that is a different topic, because I don't believe corporations are people.

 

LOL, Anchorman, how can I put this any more clearer for you?

 

Simple question.  True or false?  It's not the first time that a liberal has done such a thing.

 

That is the statement that I made regarding the issue at hand.  I didn't say that "all liberals" do things like that, and I never implied that conservatives or anyone else does or doesn't do such things.  I simply presented a fact in the discussion.  I deal a lot with computers... you know, true/false 1/0 etc.  Is my statement true or false?

 

Yes, I make it no secret that I consider myself more conservative (for the most part) than others.  Yes, I also make it no secret that I am biased more towards the right, but I also try my best to back my arguments with facts to the best of my ability.  If there is some "alternative" that makes sense to me, then perhaps I'll modify my belief system.
