"According to you, Westera, I am wrong more than right but one thing that I can be sure of is that you are one person who will point it out and point me in the right direction as you see it but usually with links." When did I ever claim your are wrong more than you are right? I haven't, but your perception is that I actually said it. I have pointed out a number of false, distorted & misleading things you have said personally or was included in something you posted. I did so with facts & independently verifiable credible evidence. But I have never claimed you are wrong more than you are right. It may feel that way since you had many strong personal opinions challenged with the truth. It turned out your opinions & the truth were at odds with each other. And you know what they say about the truth. "and having read your post that you are not biased in anyway toward any political party (something that I find as hard to believe as myself not being biased in favor of my political leanings which are obvious... )" When have I ever claimed I am not biased in any way toward any political party? No need to check. I have never made such a claim. I have repeatedly admitted I am biased. I know that almost everyone is biased whether they admit it or not. I keep those two key facts in mind as time & events unfold on important issues. That helps me to filter out bias & glean reality based information as I do my own research on these issues. And I have stated a number of times that I have no allegiance to any political party. Never have, never will. Until this last election, I have never voted a straight party ticket. I have voted for Democrats for every major office from President down to the local level. And I have voted for independents for almost every office, including for President. That would seem to make me ineligible to be a right wing extremist now wouldn't it? What you continue to fail to recognize about me is that I am all about facts & reality. At the same time I am easily disgusted by lies, deceit, propaganda & intentional misrepresentation. I seek out credible, independently verifiable evidence on matters of substance. I let facts & credible information lead me to logical, reasonable, reality based conclusions regardless of any political considerations. You may choose to cling to your misperceptions about me. That will be your version of reality, but it won't be reality based in any way, shape or form.
