[Vision2020] rosy future for rabid liberal at loose ends?

[Art Deco]

We could hardly have a better example of someone painting themselves into a corner, in this case probably for a lifetime, than Gary's responses in this thread.  That's why many of his like-minded associates are called conservatives, not in the original meaning of the word, but because they are conceptionally unable to think that new and better ways of solving problems can be found.

  I don't recall ever mentioning KRFP before the last week of last month. I suppose it's possible but fairly unlikely. Either way, contempt was not what I expressed. What I said was that they had a bias and were purveyors of progressive propaganda. When the stations mission statement plainly states that it's dedicated to "progressive values" and "social change" it's not an expression of contempt it's a statement of fact. I firmly believe that stating facts in a discussion is a more productive thing than using the "you're too stupid to understand" gambit. You're welcome to stick with what ever works for you.
