I must disagree. In order for one to avoid truth and reason, one must first be able to recognize it when presented with it.
And I disagree with your disagreement. Consciousness is a choice. If you choose to practice it, it becomes a habit; if you choose self-imposed ignorance, it, too, becomes a habit. The truth is out there for all those who choose to recognize it and accept it. Willful blindness is the root of all evil.

There would appear to be a flaw of some sort with the reasoning of Bloody Sam though I can’t quite put it into words. It seems obvious that liberals are unable to recognize truth and reason henceforth they cannot deliberately avoid it yet they DO avoid it like the plague, this is observable. I no longer waste my time trying to talk to liberals but when I was young and foolish enough to do so I observed that they are able to rant for long periods while making absolutely no sense at any point. Somehow they manage to NEVER choose a reasonable position. They are like blind squirrels who NEVER find a nut, even by accident. How do they manage it? Could it be that they are all possessed by demons of illogic? If a liberal’s clock stops is it NOT right twice a day? Maybe they are so consistently wrong that on the extremely rare occasions when they get something right I just don’t see it? Is it like watching golfers and hoping to someday see a hole in one?
