First point.....
'It isn't so much the "factual" accuracy of your statements, as much as you have facts and I have opinions. You have a political ideology. I have ideas."
And that has not been lost on me at all. In fact it's
quite revealing.
I form my opinions by first analyzing as many facts on
issues, etc, as possible. With political opinions, I read
speeches, listen to positions from all sides & read a wide
assortment of views & reactions to the issues, events,
etc. I consider facts & accuracy to be paramount when
doing so. Dishonesty, inaccuracy, lies & deceit will
quickly turn me off.
Why? Because I do not have an inflexible political
ideology, contrary to your faulty assertion. I am willing
to change my opinion as time & events unfold.
I do not pledge my allegiance to politicians or political
ideologies. The more truthful, honest & accurate a
politician turns out to be, the more I am willing to
listen to & seriously consider their POV. Those who turn
out to be consistently partisan, deceitful & dishonest
earn my most sincere contempt. And I won't defend an
indefensible political ideology when time & events expose
it to be wrong.
I have noted that you & others have opinions too. However
most of what I see from the more left leaning crowd are
sweeping generalities along with vague assumptions, yet
few specifics or factual evidence is offered to support
these "opinions". What few assertions that have been made
have been thoroughly refuted with factually accurate
rebuttals from me in our discussions.
Yet, it sure seems to me that you are sure I am wrong in
spite of, "the "factual" accuracy of (my) statements",
because, as you have so eloquently stated, you "have
ideas". |
