“LOL Worldtraveler once upon a time is spinning again!”
The article hit a bit close to home I guess.
Not at all. I was drafted in the lovely era of LBJ, wore olive drab, am honorably discharged, and dislike any accusation of being a Communist. So the article did not "hit a bit close to home." Far from it.
One observes that the various news links from many major Western news sources which were provided receives zero scrutiny from you, and therefore you have no discussion to provide. Confirmation bias trumps a barb.
“The article hit a bit close to home I guess. “
You are so correct!
I can’t believe Worldtraveler-once-upon-a-time finally admitted to his confirmation bias!
His entire modus operandi is searching for the minutest detail to confirm his prior beliefs. He jumps to assumptions and conclusions using wishful thinking to interpret any and all ambiguous information to support his pre-determined beliefs.
The major tell here is his consistent and total devaluation of comments and actually other Freepers that offer contrary information. Only his paradigm of belief can offer the total factual and solitary truth!!! Obviously, any resistance or contrary fact or truth, actually does self-limit WOUAT own insight while skewing further his personal point of view.
Thus, let us now recognize and ultimately forgive his and others degrading comments only meant to disparage one another.
None of us are perfect or faultless. Yet, most do not and will not thrive by demeaning other. THis confirmation bias becomes so great reveals why WOUAT needs and must ‘spin his tales’!
Let us recognize that each Freeper is entitled to freedom of thought and expression. I am not here nor is WOUAT responsible to dictate any viewpoint. The responsibility of each individual is to weigh information and develop their own point of view.
Free Republic offers each of us the privilege to share difference of opinions. And, this certainly does not become an excuse to allow rudeness, insults, shaming, or other censuring. I have learned much on F.R. & hope to learn more.
Jim Robinson calls us all to end abusive posts, name-calling, taunting, trolling, stalking, flame-baiting, insults, religious insults, flames, threats, ill-wishes, harassing & annoying posts, unwanted posts, etc.
We are better than this: We are Conservatives.
