I blog a lot in the format of deconstructing idiotic right-wing attempts at logic, and I can (and do) tip my hat to anyone who hits one out of the park.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8695598.post-65617813242450248722009-02-25T20:15:00.000-08:002009-02-25T20:15:00.000-08:00Phila -You have a great blog.

You're going to be on my daily reading list.<BR/><BR/>You have attitude, a keen sense of irony, and you might be even more of a smart ass than I am. Wow!<BR/><BR/>Playing off Dr.B's comment, I started reading THE CONSERVATIVE MIND by Russell Kirk. I'm only on Pg 30 and have discovered these pillars of the conservative mind set. Honest to God, I am not making this up. They are ignorance, magical thinking, prejudice, and false choices.<BR/><BR/>Kirk is proud of this stuff. It's terrifying.Jazzbumpahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07337490817307473659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8695598.post-39886247693552603382009-02-25T19:52:00.000-08:002009-02-25T19:52:00.000-08:00Yeah, I also found this sort of "fact" checking to...Yeah, I also found this sort of "fact" checking to be a bit mind-boggling. Apparently, not only does Obama have to say what he's planning to do, but to be truthful, he also has to explain how his plans might fail, every flaw that his plan entails, what his critics will attack him for, as well as actually having completed the plan before he presents it. They did this sort of thing before the election and it didn't make sense then either.<BR/><BR/>Of course, it's my guess that this isn't really an issue of ideological bias, but rather that some editor gave the job to an unqualified boob who never was that blessed with critical thinking skills to begin with. But I suppose these days, that's what qualifies as conservativism, so the distinction is fairly moot.Doctor Biobrainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01641661532899934766noreply@blogger.com
