And here we go again (School shooting)

Expertise tend to be more liberal because facts tend to have a liberal bias.

And this statement? What does this jumble of words even mean? Facts are facts. They're not liberal or conservative. Facts don't have a bias. The bias occurs in the interpretation or dissemination of facts by people with agendas. Moreover, expertise is not liberal or conservative. There are experts from all political persuasions. Do you honestly think that senior analysts (experts) at The Heritage Foundation are liberal?

It's not worth it to post here to post facts here.

You are right about one thing. It's not worth it for you to post facts here. You don't have any. All you've posted this morning are some grandiose musings about holding an uncontrollable regulatory body like the FDA accountable. If you have the money to do it, go for it. If not... GLWS.

It means that facts tend to (but not always) support more liberal policies than we currently have, which is why they are often rejected or cherry-picked by conservatives and why I'm not posting them here.

I've always stated that I have some strong conservative beliefs based on facts and data. However, I disagree with a lot of hardcore right-wing ideologies based on other other facts and data. Therefore, if I post anything that does not support conservative ideologies I will be lambasted by you and others with false accusations of me being a commie, socialist, and anti-capitalist, all of which are very offensive accusations.

A house falling in and infested with termites can only be fixed by burning it down.
This country needs a revolution. Needed one 100 years ago.
About half the population needs to perish during the revolution and all politicians should be exterminated.

The termite analogy is a good one.

Maybe we could just tar and feather a few of the worst politicians? Then maybe the others would straighten up ?

If we simply cut the pay and eliminate the perks of being a politician...and put in term limits...then I think our political system might attract a different class of folks with purer motives.

Ideologues are the most dangerous people in the country. It does not matter which flavor they are.

Do you honestly think conservatives “cherry-pick” facts more than LIBERALS? Really?

And I’m sorry but I can’t wrap my head around the logic of something objective like facts having a liberal bias.

I'd love to somehow get some of the brightest and the best people into our government, but I don't know how to do that. I don't think reducing pay would help.

It used to be that civic duty called our best and brightest into service. Now it is cronyism and power.

My first reaction was to agree with this statement. Then I thought about people like Patrick Henry. I’m sure he as considered a dangerous ideologue by the British.

I also remembered a favorite line from when Lucy asked about Aslan the lion being dangerous.

The reply was “Yes, dangerous...but good.”

From my experience, unfortunately, yes. Liberals do it too, and I call out my liberal friends all of the time on it. But conservatives are the biggest offenders.

I don't think Patrick Henry was dogmatic in his beliefs. His beliefs where righteous therefore he was righteous.
