Saying that you disagree with a decision someone makes is criticism. Calling that person a liar when you have no proof other than what the media has chosen to show you is not.


Calling that person a liar based on what the media has chosen to show me would make me a victim of bad intelligence, right?

One thing that REALLY turned my stomach was
Quote:
Correspondents tend to be college-educated. Colleges are known to be havens for liberal thinking, so correspondents must then be disproportionately liberal. I will email the networks and demand that they hire more high school dropouts.

This smacks of someone who thinks he is better than those who differ in opinion


Or someone with a more cynical sense of humor than you. I assume he was under no delusions that all college students would come away from the experience liberal. CMU had in the early 90s a relatively well-developed College Republican organzation, for instance. Were they high school dropouts? Well, they certainly seemed as or more intelligent than me, and I'm not. Take for what you will.

The level of ego exibited here sometimes is astounding to me. It's easy to sit at home and criticize the decisions Bush has made. He's the president. It is his duty to make difficult decisions. We have the luxury of being able to see what the outcomes are before we decide what our decision would be. I personally think that our going to war with Iraq was a good decision. Others don't.


Armchair quarterbacking. It's not unique to politics. Or sports. So, uh, are the people who argue for days about how some coach should have played a game differently in the same boat, or is this case special? If this case is special, why?

I guess it comes down to which side of the fence you straddle. There are people on this board that think every move that the president makes is based on political calculation. I'm just not one of them.



And there are people who believe he's following his (heart, God, whatever). Who's wrong? Maybe no one. Maybe everyone. Maybe he's secretly Kang, and all us liberals are just trying to vote for Kodos.
