Open minded includes "evidence", "facts" and "data". You should always be "open minded". But the right comes up with "magical creation", "200 million dollar a day trips", "death panels" and more craziness. Not being open minded to "delusion" doesn't mean you aren't open minded. It just means you have standards.

I always considered Jesus Christ the first well known liberal.
Most liberals make the same (stupid) claim. They are wrong. Christ wanted us to be charitable to one another, not have charity forced upon us. Because, in helping someone else, one becomes a better person.
