This is so ridiculous. I have a zero tolerance policy for stupidity, and this is almost too stupid to comment on. I'm not saying you are, but the statement is, and I'm too tired to be nice. What the hell is wrong with you? Are you kidding me? I mean really? What goes on in your mind? I really want to know. I do. What the hell?

Facts are not under the guardianship of any ideology, political or otherwise. They are not under the guardianship of any religious doctrine, they are not under the guardianship of anyone or anything. Facts simply are.

I feel I owe some of our more conservative members an apology. A few make blanket statements about all liberals being idiots. This bothered me, as I'm not an idiot and my heart bleeds profusely. I couldn't understand why they would say such things.

Now I know.

*shakes head*

I'm going to sleep.

I might have poorly worded that sentence because it looks like several people, including you, completely misunderstood that statement.

Did you get to keep your doc? Did you help depose the President of Libya, and now Assad? Did you have the IRS inviatigate your rival?

A fact! A fact!

Bravo.

Now, why can't we have more posts that are actually facts based?

Everyone has a right to their opinion. They do not have a right to their own facts. And the right gets facts wrong vastly more often than the left.

Wow. This. Is. Unprecedented. American Life is not, not, not, not, a political program... at all. But even these guys reached a breaking point when it comes to right-wing lies.

This IS the problem in the US. The Left thinks they are the smartest ones on the room when in fact they are not. They are the most careless in the room when it comes to decision making and presenting facts. Emotion rules the day whether it's factual or not and every single decision they make has unintended consequences tied to them. They feel they MUST make decisions for EVERYONE and will personally destroy others when they think for themselves. It's a real danger in this country.
