Though liberals do a great deal of talking about hearing other points of view, it sometimes shocks them to learn that there are other points of view.[/b]
Unlike conservatives who insist that only their own point of view even counts.
Liberals don’t care what you do so long as it’s compulsory.
Right, like conservatives don’t harrangue us with their own dogmas.
Conservatism aims to maintain in working order the loyalties of the community to perceived truths and also to those truths which in their judgment have earned universal recognition.
Not unlike, for example, liberalism.
Modern formulations are necessary even in defense of very ancient truths. Not because of any alleged anachronism in the old ideas – the Beatitudes remain the essential statements of the Western code – but because the idiom of life is always changing.
Anone here care to bring this down to earth?
We find that in the absence of demonstrable truth, the best we can do is to exercise the greatest diligence, humility, insight, intelligence, and industry in trying to arrive at the nearest values to truth.
Anone here care to bring this down to earth?
Pentagon ought to win the Nobel Peace Prize every year, because the U.S. military is the world’s foremost guarantor of peace.
Now, doesn’t this speak volumes regarding just how idiotic the man could be? Or would someone here like to defend that point of view?
