It's not just liberals that are dense. Some "conservatives" let their emotions rule rather than knowledge and common sense. Liberals don't have a monopoly on being ridiculous and easily manipulated. All you need to do is look around on FR. I've been shocked at what I see people willingly believing when it suits their agenda. So, liberal or conservative there are nut cases on both sides. The common ground is their extreme emotional state ruling their thinking.

True, but not by much. Yes, you can find dogmatic conservatives, but they're in the minority, as opposed to dogmatic liberals. You have to dig really, really hard to find an intellectual liberal these days.

Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black?

:"I've been shocked at what I see people willingly believing when it suits their agenda."

Exactly. I see it too here on FR. When you point out the logical fallicies, they too degenerate into irrational namecalling. Quite amusing, really.

Putting libs and conservatives in the same area of arguing irrationally must include specifics. Comparing murder to twisting an arm is the comparison.
