Not to mention, you can NEVER expect someone to support the decisions of those they normally oppose, even if it really is a good idea (George Bush, Jack Layton, Fidel Castro, whoever).

Does nobody live with independant thought and just call bullshit where they see it? Because spending all your time supporting your side and attacking their side, is not using your brain, it's just allowing it to focus in on one way of thinking until it shuts out everything else; then your brain can start believing that anything else must be insanity. Most people are so caught up in their devotion to the side they've picked that they're blinded to the great and relatively equal amount of stupidity, and even possitive qualities, that exists in the right wing, left wing, and every type of person in between.

WAKE UP, and start thinking for yourself; and that doesn't mean finding the right person to tell you how to think for your self.
Howdy mrdevious,

I went against my side,in the past election,by voting for Kinky and every single libertarian on the ballot,because of the border issue and the war on drugs..do ya still think that I'm brain-washed ?

Does having moral absolutes..mean that I'm brain-washed ? Does wanting to keep my country,a decent place to live,that ain't rife with the debauchery and amoral relativism of the liberal mind-set..make me brain-washed ?

I don't look to any man,to tell me how to think for myself..many of my beliefs and opinions,are derived from my 47+ years,of living and raising a family..God and His Son, Jesus..fill in the rest.

I will continue to fight the Good fight..a culture war.

Have a good one ...
