"Nah. They've already formulated a response: You can see it in today's Slimes' front page "news" article...."

You are right; it is so disheartening to see such nonsense taken as truth.

Today is a very low day for me; I feel as if I have lost someone in my family. After his burial, the wolves will be unleashed; the attack from within and outside our borders will begin once again.

Over the past week I've had to deal with many of them in my office. They are so naive and ignorant to the truth; their gospel is the NY Times.

At times, the sense of hopelessness overwhelms me when I discuss politics with them; they dismiss truth with statements of anger and fury with no regard to the validity of their point. Just pure opinion, assumptions based on falsehoods fed to them from the media. It almost makes one "lose their religion" when faced with such ugly and mean spirited passion.

Asking them to research their beliefs for their own sake is met with accusations of "You are an extremist", "You are a war monger", "You are a Bible thumper". The funny thing is that I keep my religious beliefs to myself; it just bothers them that I admit to being a practicing Christian. They appear to lack any real core convictions or values they believe are worth fighting for.

It appears you are in/from NYC; I work in Manhattan. Maybe you understand what I am saying, maybe you don't. NYC is a liberal Jungle that must be experienced to be believed.

Today we bury a man I truly admired. He never lost hope for our future. He did not stumble or retreat when they went for him; he held tight to the values he so dearly believed in. He believed that citizens of this great country could do anything when given the chance. I hope that is still true; the hundreds of thousands I've seen in Washington and California, especially the young, give me hope that his spirit will still live on as we go forward during these trying times.

"They are so naive and ignorant of the truth.."

I've stopped discussing politics with those on the left. I have good, decent friends and family members who just don't "get it". It boggles my mind. I've come to believe that we all view the world through a prism. Our individual prisms are shaped based on our frames of reference. Sometimes it may be an event that shapes our prism, or maybe it is whether one is an optimist or pessimist. I'm an optimist. I WANT to see good in people and I WANT to believe that the future will be bright. My father, on the other hand, worked for a company for many years which cheated its employees out of their retirement benefits when it folded. Then he became blind. He sees everything through his prism of pessimism and distrust. I don't know if this is making sense, but this analysis has helped me to try to understand the left a bit. They still make me crazy, however. Peace Be With You PigRigger.

I love shooting wolves. Great sport.

Ignorance is a product of the modern public education system. It's set up to produce graduates with no fact bases and raw emotions. Much easier to make automatons out of people if you educate them this way. We have got to fix this problem and get education out of the hands of the teachers unions.

It's a great day. A new dawning in America. RR would have wanted it that way.

Believe me, I know where you're coming from. Luckily, my office isn't quite as liberal as yours, although we do have our fair share of misinformed liberals. Certainly more than half. I usually try to ignore them on political matters. You're not going to change their minds. But we have enough of a critical mass of conservatives if that I end up in a debate, somebody will likely have my back. That's not the norm here.

The NYC liberals really do take the Slimes as if it were Gospel. In reality, the Old Grey Whore is really just America's Pravda. That's okay --- we have freedom of the press and they can print what they want. I just wish the Slimes wouldn't claim it objectively reports the news. It does not. The Slimes prints all the news that fits their agenda.
