You know what my ‘go-by’ always is? If the idiots on the left are saying something.....I pretty much am automatically assured that the truth is either the exact opposite....or somewhere in between. In this instance, it was the exact opposite.

It’s a never-fail system!


I think you are correct. I’ve realized that I disagree with them on pretty much everything except sometimes what to have for lunch. And I think there is a reason for this:

Completely different foundational world views.

For starters, liberals tend to think man is basically good and just needs to be given the opportunity to prove it. Meanwhile, conservatives tend to see man as basically evil (all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God) and must be challenged to do the right thing.

Search youtube with the words Bill whittle ideas. That video sums it up better than anything I have ever seen.

I am copying this into my “quotes” notepad. You summed it up in just two sentences.

“For starters, liberals tend to think man is basically good and just needs to be given the opportunity to prove it. Meanwhile, conservatives tend to see man as basically evil (all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God) and must be challenged to do the right thing.”

Will be checking youtube for the Bill Whittle ideas this evening.

Thank you.

Liberals think that liberals are basically good and just need a chance to prove it, but that conservatives are basically evil. As for myself, I subscribe to the idea that people are not inherently good nor evil so much as they are human. I think most people aspire to be good, but some of them--especially those infested by Liberal Mind Fog--are severely confused as to what that means, and many of them can be readily tempted into doing things they know are wrong. Personally, I regard sinfulness and evil as being two very different concepts, with sinfulness being indifference to God's will, and evil being deliberately contrary to it. Most people are far more sinful than they are evil, but there are some definite exceptions.
