Re: "I find it fascinating that the "libs" on this thread (if I can use that discredited term) such as Cosmo, you and I can clearly empathize with the equivalent of Joe Six Pack..."
Hi Ray,
The tenor of that paragraph you wrote bothered me greatly last night. For eight years during the Clinton administration we were subjected to a relentless propaganda campaign to portray liberals as compassionate, and conservatives as uncaring, mean spirited.
During the 90's, the pastor of the church I attend adopted 5 different children. That is commitment and compassion far beyond politics, yet the media brainwashing portrayal continues, in part because many conservatives feel that government give-away programs actually hurt the people they are supposed to help. I've worked as a volunteer in a downtown mission, I know how hard it is to help some people.
Please understand, I think you are a witty and highly intelligent person, I just can't stomach liberalism, whether theological or political. There is truth and there is error. No amount of rhetoric or psychobabble can change that.
