Sometimes it's hard for me to decide whether liberals/progressives are well-meaning but misguided, or intentionally insidious. In any case, I was recently exposed to another chart-dense article attempting to demonstrate that the American dream is in fact an illusion. The argumentation style is overtly negative, but thoughtful in the sense that it at least attempts to set up straw men for conservative thought before blowing them away with fallacies. So should I adopt a charitable tone in exposing the illogic? I suspect it will change as the level of insidiousness becomes more and more annoying. So David Morris, longtime community organizer and anti-conservative agitator, as well as founder of a wannabe think-tank activism foundation, writes a column on AlterNet entitled: We're #1--Ten Depressing Ways America Is Exceptional . A liberal Facebook friend linked to it and sadly, I took the bait. I swear, I'm going to swear off these liberal blog sites entirely one day.
Candid evaluation of assumptions as well as musings on consequences of political, religious, moral, scientific, linguistic and literary truths and pretensions thereto. Dissecting representations, critiquing arguments, discussing liberty, equality, justice, faith, values, facts, and the principles and institutions that make them all possible.
