There's religious fervor all around, and it's not good.ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18061383195063293235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29111830.post-60519224439533668542011-03-17T19:32:29.570-06:002011-03-17T19:32:29.570-06:00As a rule, I don't agree with conservatives or...As a rule, I don't agree with conservatives or liberals, and feel a similar amount of disdain for both. It is notable to criticize a large group of people, with varying allegiances to disparate ideologies, and watch the reactions. Liberals tend to be far more engaging, albeit just as vitriolic, in their responses when challenged. Conservatives prove themselves to be, 9 times out of 10, the usual dittoheads who will not even come back with a relevant response. Generally, you can expect to be called a Nazi or Communist, or some other nonsense, then they'll revert to childish mantra-chanting rather than arguing the real issues.<br /><br />I consider conservatism to be more a religious movement than an ideology. Its adherents have been trained to take things on faith, demonize outsiders and rely upon the "inspired" teachings of a few "great leaders" for meaning in life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29111830.post-56987380607283811502011-03-16T09:34:12.274-06:002011-03-16T09:34:12.274-06:00If Beck is Bin Laden, he's a very passive one....If Beck is Bin Laden, he's a very passive one. I can't help wondering if he's actually trying to cause the chaos he keeps predicting.<br /><br />I was just trying to figure what exactly he didn't not say. The earthquake was caused by progressive politics? By somebody or other not being Christian or Christian *enough*? Was the earthquake in Japan because they're not Christian? Or did God kill thousands of people as a message to Americans to be more conservative? He was very careful not to actually say *anything*. I guess that's because he knows the people he's talking to will interpret it in the way he wants them to.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01644139713369995894noreply@blogger.com
