ability to think critically has been replaced by the ability to spew righteous indignation.

I dunno about that.

Where was the indignation over Clinton, over the theft of all our most precious secrets by China, over the open border policies designed to generate votes for the democrat party.

I think perhaps there was not enough of it.

I think that you perhaps refer to some indignant replies that you may have received as a result of something you may have said.

If that is the case, I would look at what you said and perhaps you might find that it was wrong or crass in some way. Critical thinking is difficult to apply to some emotional issues.

Try to dissect the feeling of love, for example. Try to be critical of a womans thought processes. LOL! (*that will bring you much righteous indignation)

Heh...womens' thought processes have always mystified me, and, I suspect, always will. I have learned it's just easiest (and most enjoyable) to not be critical of women.

As far as the Clintons are concerned, I was and am indignant, infuriated, exasperated over anything and everything they did and do, including a useless expenditure of American manpower and resources in areas of the globe that are of no benefit to the US; his selling our secrets to China; his open border policies (which the current President has not changed); his advocacy of "free trade" (at least President Bush put tariffs on steel; that's a start); over Slick's inability to keep his trousers up; over Hillary's inability to be anything other than a bitch; over everything they touched. I consider both to be pure evil, and it is not a term I use lightly.

I often do, on this forum, get myself into hot water over my choice of words, and some of that, I admit, is intentional. It seems if I give a standard milquetoast post, I get either no response, or unbelievable sappy an meaningless responses. It's the intellectual equivalent of talking to myself, and I'm not that interesting.

So, yes, I often do say things to provoke responses, and perhaps I could be more tactful (and I will try). But it is discouraging that so many people are so quick to jump on the "I am outraged!!" bandwagon, without considering the issues.
