When was that?

By engaging in a poltical discussion with you.

Hell..even Lenin engages in a political discussion with me..and we
know about HIM.....that does not bode well for your case.....

As to being more rational about admitting that you use emotion rather
than reason and logic...thats not rational..thats self incrimination

No, not rational by admitting I use emotion. Rational
by evalutating my response, and characterizing it
accurately. You might *claim* have have no biases.
But let's take a poll here....

Jim..Ive NEVER stated I was without bias. Far from it! To do so would
stop the Earth in its orbit around the Sun. But old son..my biases
are based on facts and reason and NOT emotion. I can indeed get
emotional about the Subject..but not the basis for the conclusions and
preferences that Ive already reached...ie my biases.

To prefer machining 303 over 304, is a bias. To prefer a 45 over a 9mm
handgun is a bias. To prefer a 6' bisexual redheaded woman with no gag
reflex, over a short dumpy dishwater blond frigid bible thumper is a
bias. But the above biases are based on reason, rational and common
sense and not emotionally driven.

That my friend, is one of the glaring difference between us, and one
you seem to have a hard time getting past, or understanding.

Because of my onscreen persona..as you think it to be..you (and
others) fail often to take in account that perhaps Im not the
stereotypical gun owning trailer trash that you Feel I SHOULD be. And
it blinds you I think, at times. Often times what I post, or say,
doesnt FEEL right to you, or it Angers you that it runs counter to
your world view and makes you Uncomfortable.

Sorry pal..but thats the way things work in dis bad ol world. I change
my views occasionally on things, when the information warrants it. And
sometimes it is indeed hard to overcome my emotional attachment to
some concept or world view, but I do make the effort to change if its
warranted. Or reach an accomodation with it. Because to deny reality
is the first steps to madness, and to refuse to look at the data,
simply because your mind is made up and you dont want to be confused
by the facts..they make you uncomfortable...is also madness.

So is emotionally interpeting data to fit YOUR world view, rather
than the proper, rational, logical way. This is unfortunately the
method most Libs use to promote their agendas..no matter how wacked
out, impossible or ill advised they may be.

Which is why I hold so many Libs and their proponents in such
contempt. The Ends always justify the means in their book, no matter
how stupid the ends are, or how many people they have to hurt in the
process of imposing their will and agendas, on the rest of the
people. And when they simply Lie about it, both in execution and in
their ultimate goals...that deserves nothing less than utter contempt.

And the sheeple that mindlessly go along with it, because it makes
them feel all warm and fuzzy and they dont have to think, ...are like
retarded children. Not much good to have around, but you simply cannot
shoot them. All you can do is hold a bit of pity, try to teach them,
and make sure they do as little damage as possible.

"The Democratic Party is the party of popular corruption. The heart
of the Democratic Party and its activist core is made up of government
unions, government dependent professions (teachers, social workers,
civil servants); special interest and special benefits groups
(abortion rights, is a good example) that feed off the government
trough; and ethnic constituencies, African Americans being the most
prominent, who are disproportionately invested in government jobs and
in programs that government provides.

The Democratic Party credo is 'Take as much of the people's money as
politically feasible, and use that money to buy as many of the
people's votes as possible'. Tax cuts are a threat to this Democratic
agenda. Consequently, Democrats loathe and despise them."
