#4 is BS but other than that she pegged me to a “T”. 😆
If she replaced “views” with “party” it’d be better.
Nice article!
I think many people evolve to that position, the Republicans betray their voters time after time and eventually people see them for what they are and become more independent thinkers over time, it’s called experience, wisdom, etc...
Sorry BS, most stereotypes exists for a reason.
If I hear about a smash & grab looting spree I instantly know which group of "youths" it was. If I am hungry and happen to driving on a Martin Luther king Jr Blvd, I ain't stopping, etc.
She hasn’t yet learned that one of the purposes of an ‘open mind’ is to take in and internalize good ideas, after due diligence. It’s not to encounter good ideas and then let them fall out again because the mind is hanging open, flapping in whatever breeze comes along.
In other words, these are the characteristics of libtards. And don’t forget to put on your mask and get the shot.
Playing poker develops critical thinking skills. Chess too.
Otherwise, I am guilty as charged as an independent thinker.
I once had a college professor who observed that free market economics had a lot of problems, including inequities. But it worked a hell of a lot better than any other system which had ever been tried.
Never believe something just because you want it to be true. This is especially true when you hear something negative about an individual or group you despise. It’s an easy trap to fall in to.
Then again, some people are just contrarians for the sake of being contrarian.
If you need a checklist you’re not capable of doing it
It is not my fault that I have a congenital defect and my middle finger is stuck pointing straight up...
;-)
it’s good to be reminded of these ideas. Thanks
I like taking the “road less travelled”
I agree. #4 is poorly written but who cares what others think.
“most stereotypes exist for a reason”
Agreed.
While I try to give individuals an opportunity to prove they don’t fit the stereotype I am never surprised when my “prejudice” is proved correct.

Adherence to freedom first is NOT a political view, even though it seems to be today.
11. You always double-check the information
