Truth and logic are no more missing in progressive thought than any other kind of thought. Do you think that people who disagree with your politics are some other kind of life form, separate and complete from humanity? Perhaps they just disagree.

That’s why you have debates and arguments. If everybody thought the same we would be like North Koreans or something. Even conservatives disagree. Are the conservatives you disagree with devoid of truth and logic?

Heck you have a whole bunch of Libertarians who I think get most of “it” wrong. But they are not immune to truth or logic. (so long as you can pry that copy of Atlas Shrugged out of their hands)

From your posts, you seem to think that leftists are from Mars or something. If they were, they would never grow up and become conservatives, which many do. Horowitz??? You need to do a serious re-think of your philosophy.

You can see in my language I made no reference to myself, nor do my assertions about absolute truth depend in the least on anything about me.

Again, you miss the point. Debates can only be conducted when both sides agree to the same ground rules. Not only do leftists break the rules, they refuse to acknowledge the ground beneath their feet. The fact that leftist ideology denies the existence of absolute truth is not a fact because I say it is. Its truth is separate and independent from me.

I never said anything about Mars. I would advise you to think again, and read again if necessary, what I’ve explained.
