Talk:Essay:Liberal Behavior on Conservapedia (view source)
Revision as of 02:44, September 5, 2007
, 02:44, September 5, 2007→Over-reliance by liberals on mockery rather than logical argument.
: As intelligent as you are, TraJSmith, I'd encourage you look beyond entertainment for answers. A start might be to consider why you (probably) oppose allowing students to begin a class in public school with a prayer. There is little doubt that prayer is helpful to students, yet liberals oppose it with a vengeance in the classroom, the font of knowledge. That contradiction in liberal thought leads to many other contradictions and even deceit, I'm afraid.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 08:44, 4 September 2007 (EDT)

Reckon I have to disagree with both of you.
Sure, it is fairly easy to tell when Limbaugh is being overly pompous for the sake of humor, or spinning the facts rather than prevaricating. I think he tells the worst kind of lies, being half-truths. I am not going to provide a long list now, although that would be possible. In terms of liberal humor, I suggest you try John Stewart, who exclusively pokes fun at the powers-that-be, without any attempt to present himself as a “truth-telling machine.” Another interesting thing about Stewart is when he interviews folks from the other side, is always respectful.
By the way, TK, not only am I old enough to remember MTM, I remember her as Mrs. Laura Petrie. Indeed, as another pal of mine says, “I’m so old, I remember when Joni Mitchell was good”
Andy, I must disagree with you as well. I gather my news primarily though The Economist (slightly right of center), the New York Times and NPR (both slightly left thereof.) To be sure, this does not make me the best informed man in America, but I would suggest I am better able to detect irony and sarcasm better than the average ditto-head. I will drop the appellation LBR when I no longer constantly read of the Breck Girl.
You are correct, though, in that I am against school prayer. A moment of silence when students would be allowed to pray silently is fine. Similarly, I am against having every church service begin with a plea from a scientist to reconsider evolution. Religion and Churches fill an important role in our society and should not be discouraged. However, education is equally important. The rules of phonics, and the inability to divide by zero apply regardless of your conception of God. While there is conflict between, say, YEC’s and geology and biology, I have faith (!) that kids will ultimately resolve the conflict. After all, we love our parents and at some point we realize they weren’t always right.
Enough for now. Let me figure out how I can write a brief analysis explaining Deferred Tax Credits to non-accountants.
