You're right about that. Of course I regard anyone who wants to defend the lyingest liar of the land as an "odd duck." We have a veritable raft of odd ducks around here!
I just thought a little history might help.
Very interesting. I'm not terribly surprised. Cognitive dissonance is something I discover with many of the people I argue with. For some reason, I just can't seem to fool myself about stuff. When the evidence becomes convincing that I am wrong about something, I just admit it. Oh, by the way, someone asserts that curiosity is female. Perhaps that makes it easier to understand? :)
Agreed! Cognitive dissonance is inextricably linked to and essential to liberalism. I speak as a former liberal. As soon as I began to contrast reality with the lies of liberalism, my conversion began. Some people are unable to make that transition. They are too emotionally committed to liberalism, so they operate in a permanent state of cognitive dissonance. That’s what makes them impossible to reason with. If they could reason, they wouldn’t be liberals.
Is curious a woman or a man? I don’t know. Here’s what I do know. If you dig far enough back in his/her posting history, you’ll see some very liberal comments. He/she used to claim we are asking for more documentation from Obama than has ever been asked of any president—and it’s just so mean and unfair! It’s there in his/her posting history, so he/she can’t deny it. [You have to go a long way back to get to those posts, however.]
Another early curious post I recall was even sillier. He/she claimed we conservatives are so consumed with hatred for Obama, even if he did something right, we couldn’t give him credit for it. I responded at the time, ‘Why are you so emotionally invested in defending Obama?’. I got no reply. I recall thinking, though, that liberalism alone wouldn’t account for that level of inanity. There HAD to be an emotional investment. Pretty spooky stuff.
Fwiw, those are two of my earlier encounters with the party in question. I’m glad old posts can’t be deleted. I’d be called a liar, or a shader of the truth, for sure. But it’s all there, if anybody takes the time to dig deep enough, so I’m in the clear. ;)
