...you cannot rely on, say, television to fill in the gaps for you....i would conclude that you are arguing for a particular political position not so much because you agree with it, but because it prechews information for you and so lets you feel connected to politics in the context of a busy life.
...i wonder if this position you have of late taken to outlining here is worth holding, really...it seems to me that the costs outweigh the benefits.

take for example, your comments about "socialism"--about which you clearly know nothing...

Well done, Sir!
Amazing show there, Old Chap!!
This has redefined the word "PRESUMPTUOUS"!!
Downright Cocky, Sir!
I ASK: Does it get any more Arrogant, Smug or Obnoxious than this? Intellectually chastising a respected and long-standing member of this Board - nay, a Grown Adult! - charging that he is incapable of distinguishing between Right & Wrong, and unable to come to the Proper decisions in life?? That, in effect, he needs an Intellectual Babysitter to think for himself? That the political decisions he makes in his life are Null & Void? I thought it was The Left that lived and died by the tenet of respecting the Dignity, Ideas & Opinions of the Individual?
THE INDIVIDUAL, ARMED ONLY WITH THE POWER OF HIS IDEAS!!!, OVER THE OPPRESSION OF THE ESTABLISHMENT!!!
Apparently, this universal human right holds true only for those in-the-know, intellectually superior individuals such as himself.
How ironic! How exclusive! How CONSERVATIVE!!!

Let this thread stand as a terrifying glimpse into the intellectual bankruptcy of the Liberal Lunatic Fringe. Let this thread stand - for Generations to come - as an example of the hypocritical void that constitutes the bedrock that such radicals operate from. A curious day indeed.
