Oddly enough..Im a banjo player as well. Yet the leftwing fringe kook
extremists here think that Im some sort of rightwing fanatic.

I simply calls em like I see em.

The way it works is you have to go to school long enough to be
indoctrinated with liberalism. When they brainwash you enough to fit
the mold of a liberal then they tell you that you are thinking for
yourself. If you have any opinion that disagrees with modern
liberalism as taught in schools, then you are not thinking for
yourself. Liberals think for themselves and give the indoctrinated
cookie cutter answer, and anyone that comes up with their own answer
isn't thinking for themselves.

So how did you escape all of this, Roger? 'Raised by wolves, were you?
Or didn't you go to school long enough for all of that to happen?

No, just go to school, think for yourself, and see through the liberal
BS.

I guess you're just a part of that very elite group, Roger, that has
unique insights and the ability to resist all of those pressures to which
everyone else falls victim. Your enviable and exemplary insights even
give you the authority to cheer and scheme for the demise of those who
don't agree with you. What a Christian you are!

Nope, there are many conservatives even thought the liberal bias in our
newspapers, TV, and educational system. Why are nearly 50% conservatives
when nearly 95% of what we see, hear, read, and get taught is liberalism?
It wasn't me that decided I knew more at age 13 than all the people that
believe in God.

This is the most conservative country in the developed world, Roger. And I
can hardly imagine what a liberal is doing in southern Illinois. g I have
to question your perspective, and what kind of strawman you've constructed
and labelled "liberal."


On the part of believing in the Bible, I found all kinds of liberal
attacks on the Bible, looked at arguments for and against, saw the
arguments for being proven true through facts, saw the arguments against
dissolving due to the same facts. For example, the book of Isaiah was
attacked by liberal Bible scholars making claims that it was written by
different people and different times, then the complete, or nearly
complete, writings of Isaiah were discovered in the Dead Sea Scrolls and
dated, bottom line, the Bible was right .. again, the liberals were
wrong .. again.

I'm glad for you that you've found what you're looking for. Just don't
try to impose it on the rest of us, Ok?

Like liberalism is imposed on everyone that watches TV, goes to school, or
reads a newspaper? Also Ed, don't take anything I say about "Liberals"
personally, you're not a very good liberal, you even seem to think it's OK
to own a gun. You infidel! :-) Also I think you know I sometimes just
try to stir the hornets nest and I don't always put a smilie to indicate
I'm joking, it's easy to have a poker face when typing messages though
often I'm laughing when I press send.

Yeah, I recognize that. That's why I can't get angry with you. I don't
defend liberalism because I'm a liberal, as you've correctly identified. By
any reasonable perspective, my overall position on business and politics is
centrist; on economics it's somewhat conservative; and on social issues it
varies -- though mostly liberal.

But I often defend liberals because I believe their sentiments and
motivations are often admirable. By contrast, too many right-wingers are
morally bankrupt, near-sociopaths. The real liberals are mostly just silly.

Seriously, the cartoonish ideas of liberalism we read on this NG are beyond
stupid. Some here have just built strawmen on which to blame of their own
failings and discontent. If you need someone to blame, to excuse yourself
for not being a success, it seems, liberals are the all-purpose goat.

So I have to chuckle when you say that liberalism is "imposed" on you. You
don't seem imposed upon, Roger. Neither does anyone else here.
