I have always stated what I believed to be true. I have never knowingly lied in any article I’ve written. And I have also done the best I could to check my facts if there seemed to be any reason to doubt sources.
I have a definite perspective, and make no attempt to disguise it: I am a conservative.
BECAUSE I try to tell the truth, and BECAUSE I try to check facts rather than just run my mouth with a bunch of vicious rumors, there are limits beyond which I won’t go.
Frankly, the fact that I even CARE about “the truth,” or for that matter even believe that something called “truth” objectively exists at all, sets me apart from may liberals.
It’s for that reason that liberals can go so damn low: such as run stories that Sarah Palin pretended to be pregnant because she was covering for the fact that Todd Palin had impregnated his daughter Bristol.
What I have found is that many liberals have an ideological filter that prevents them from thinking about anything that challenges their worldview. The more bogus, fraudulent, and flawed a worldview is, the less you can seriously consider anything that undermines it.
So you’ll get the immediate fingerpointing at what some conservative may have done that allegedly is similar, or a patent dismissal of a point you make without any attempt made to refute it (prove it’s false), etc. That’s why I rarely bother to argue with libs past a certain point: once I see that sort of mindset, I just move on. No point arguing with a deluded fool who has no interest in trying to get to the truth.
Well put.
This was the first time I read one of your articles, but I will be on the lookout for you. If you have a ping! list, please put me on it.
You have nailed it...
There are none so blind as those who will not see.
It is a SPIRITUAL blindness.
Those folks need prayer. And we are going to need a miracle, every day.
