“The arguments of liberals are more often grounded in reason and fact,” the Illinois Democrat (Obama) wrote in “The Audacity of Hope,” a memoir published last year.
I can't believe anyone would be stupid enough to even think that might be true. Liberal thought is based in fact.....okay, done laughing for 10 minutes, we can continue.
So when Tim Robins tells someone they should enlist in the army in response to a question about the war, that is based in fact? That has nothing to do with pure emotion? Look at every liberal protest EVER! People are asked questions and all they can do is say Bush is Hitler or blood for oil...that is not emotion? To liberals, I guess those are facts.
Go to a liberal blog today and just say ONE thing that resembles conservative thought. Sit back and get days worth of "facts and reason".....lol...sorry, another 10 minute laughing fit.

Well, you have to understand the liberal cosmology, the facts they wish to select out of the phenomena, and how they use them.
First of all, liberals have ideals. Their ideals aren't like old-fashioned ideals, where we uphold people to standards of behavior. That would be being bigoted and judgmental in the liberal mind. No-- their ideals are plans to be realized-- liberalism has a radical, revolutionary flavor to it.
Their ideals serve a dual purpose, which not only sketch out a vision of the future, but the vision is used to condemn the present. As a result, liberals will look at things as they are today and think, "we can do better." Anyone who talks about limits on what human beings are capable of achieving, human nature and depravity, or our general ignorance when we face the ocean of existence, is seen not as someone prudent and wise, but sinister and self-serving that must be uncaring and unsensitive, since they don't share the vision of the anointed.
Capitalism, with the spread of science, encourages this attitude. Capitalism, rather than creating a polarized society, keeps raising and raising people's expectations. In addition, the spread of science conjures the belief that things happen according to rational laws. As a result, if we aren't achieving the liberal ideal, it because of some mistake or evil in our part, and not because of the world and our place in it. Not only does this make people have faith in realizing heaven on earth, like the way stemcell research is overhyped. It leaves people unprepared to deal with calamities, like Hurricane Katrina. If we can't get our way ME ME ME all of the time, demons must be at work.
Put this all together, and one can predict what kinds of conclusions liberals will reason from facts. It is their metaphysical assumptions, in conjunction with the facts, that implies their wild conclusions.
I don't think Jim was talking about Obama's statement, but the funny thing is, my first thought of Obama's statement was, indeed, "horseshit".
“The arguments of liberals are more often grounded in reason and fact,”
This statement refutes itself. What fact supports it? How does reason make it true? Pick a few lib arguments and we can show facts to quell them. I thought Obama was supposed to be smart. I wonder what arguments HE had in mind.
Jim,
Your statement is what we usually say about you and your propaganda, and we do prove it.
Where's your apology to the game?
