I’ve said for years that democrats are intellectually lazy because they have been allowed to be. No one in the press ever pushes them. They accept whatever they say as gospel. Conservatives on the other hand have to be ready to defend every statement. Over time it weakens or strengths your ability to think critically and debate rationally. We are seeing the end product of the coddling now when you listen to any progressive try and make an argument.

Precisely. Instead of being taught how to think, we have multiple generations who have simply been taught what to think by the public school systems and “higher” education. Consequently there is little actual debate, only cheerleading. “Yay for our side, your side sucks!” Like a game of tug-of-war where each time uses its own rope. Easy to pull the flag over the line, but what’s been accomplished?

......the nominee for Va AG, Jones’s texts reveal a man unfit for any office.....he publicly expressed detailed murder fantasies against GOP House Speaker Todd Gilbert and his family, claiming “only when people feel pain personally do they move on policy.” He then tendered a weak apology — “embarrassed, ashamed, and sorry” -—— and he won’t drop out.......


Well, he “said” he was sorry......./s.

Good point! Very well taken.

I've heard it before, in other words, but it's GREAT to be reminded, thanks.

#Jesus wins in the end.
