Defining his work as bias because he used may in a sentence. A big reach but you can do it if you have a motive. There were several indicators in the write up that indicated there was bias I won't bother repeating them, but back to what he said ... "the working poor give three times as much as welfare recipients. Mr. Brooks writes that the very act of receiving welfare may make recipients more liberal — and hence less likely to give" Let me do my own "may" .... Not being employed may be a significant factor in being less likely to give. The [RC} ones I know aren't [liberal]. Did you know that the majority of American Roman Catholics are pro-choice? jewishblogging.com Of course it's also true that the majority of American Catholics support the death penalty [I'll let you look that one up if you don't trust me.] But that is in direct opposition to the current teaching of the Church. Scalia, a Catholic, is rather annoyed that the Catholic Church is opposed to the death penalty and has commented that through most of the history of the Church did support death penalty. I suppose then we could argue whether they are "truly" Roman Catholic or even religious since they don't follow the teaching of the Church they proclaim to belong to. What does that say about Scalia being religious? Could be. I allowed that there might be a few churches that do though they would be the exception to the majority. All the Mormons I've known have been very nice people. But biased people look for the tiniest flaws they can find. I've been told by members of the LDS both in the US and the UK that they do not like being referred to as Mormons. I've found members of the LDS to be very nice folks with the exception of the majority of LDS members that I've had to work with in SLC. They're a bunch of jerks. It may be the desert air. You just accused me of trying to cram values down your throat and all I've done is express a negative opinion of liberalism No I didn't. "[If I'm a liberal]. Don't try to cram your traditional values down my throat or anyone else for that matter." That's a declarative statement not an accusation. If that were the case, liberals wouldn't object to a teacher wearing a small cross on her necklace to school. There's not much you can do about some people. Just because there are some idiots that complain about a cross on a necklace doesn't mean it is representative of liberals. No more than Pat Robertson represents all conservatives when he says that 9/11 was a result of some American immorality. Shall I cite that family that runs around military funerals with signs about homosexuals as conservatives. jttmab
