I was in your shoes once. I debated the left on issues everyday. Two pieces of input helped me understand the puzzle I faced.
First, a conservative poster pointed our that liberal's lie.
(yes, I was naive)
Second, I discovered the list of disfunctional behaviors surrounding "Groupthink". They all seemed to fit the left. After all when truth is ignored and dissenters are discredited, your not left with much else to conclude.
Then one day I had an epiphany...
"Liberal's lie about everything all the time."
I have been happy ever since. My mind is always open to new ideas, but these are the goggles I put on every day and they do not fail me.

I would like to think that if the reverse were true, that we conservatives would be fair minded.
I read UNFIT FOR COMMAND. I did not read it with rose colored glasses. I was looking to see if it was a sham or something I could sink my teeth into.
The book angered me, esp the last part about Kerry's ties to modern Viet Nam. This has not been discussed.
I think if the book was garbage, it would not have received much backing from FR bloggers.
