    Why are you always taking potshots at liberals in the US, but nary a peep about liberals in Canada?

    Why is anyone taking pop shots at anyone. It's not about if you are liberal, conservative, republican, workers party, socialist, democrat, moderate or whatever. It doesn't matter how people identify, nor is it a contest of who wins and who looses. It's good and healthy for people with totally different opinions, thoughts and views to have discourse, to evolve, to be open minded enough, considerate enough, tolerant enough that we come to a higher understanding. To cooperate, to become better, more, to elevate everyone. I'm not sure where this concept of beating the other guy to silence ever became popular but it's bigoted and biased and does nobody any good. All it does is sow hatred and divide.

    I don't think the OP is going to listen to reason, he's figuratively speaking, seemingly, like Hitler or Brezhnev in where he is standing before his pulpit, pounding his fist while he claims the other side is going to fail, fall to his parties or beliefs greatness. I can imagine when he reads all this garbage, the conspiracy theories, the news, him standing on his office chair vigorously pointing at the computer screen, screaming about whatever while spittle flies from his mouth and paints the screen. That picture of him frothing at the mouth, angry, vengeful, hateful is what I see in my mind when I read his posts.

    I am starting to think he's better left ignored than answered. His posts make no sense, he's unwilling to engage in intellectual discourse and his posts really just amount to drive by political posting with no real intent I can fathom. I think perhaps, like a child misbehaving, we should just simply ignore what he posts and get on with the tasks at hand, that of improving our own lives and in part using this forum as a catalyst to that end.

    At the heart of science is an essential balance between two seemingly contradictory attitudes--an openness to new ideas, no matter how bizarre or counterintuitive they may be, and the most ruthless skeptical scrutiny of all ideas, old and new. This is how deep truths are winnowed from deep nonsense. -- Carl Sagan
