Regardless of what you think of these people, let's take a look at the other side of the coin and imagine... Now, what if Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Bill O'Rielly, Sean Hannity and others like them were telling us the absolute truth? How would you react if you suddenly found out that every word they have been saying was the pure truth? Think about that for a couple of minutes... How would you react or feel?

I already feel that way...

But I don't believe the average lefty can ever feel more pissed than they do already.

But it really is a healthy exercise to try and see things from the other perspective. And sometimes you learn a thing or three whey you try it out.

those types will never tell the full truth.


Just a pipe dream.

Also since their "truths" differ so greatly it is impossible that they are all telling the truth.

I would start questioning reality in general.

But what if they were telling the truth and laying out the real facts. Just for the sake of conversation, what would you say then?

I would begin to believe in miracles?
I dunno for sure as it is something beyond the humand mind to comprehend ;)

they all say truthful things form time to time but fully truthful for a sustained period. Just impossible.

No use in me even wasting my time Imagining this fairy tail of "Rush telling nothing but the truth". :lol:

No, seriously. What if they were telling the truth. Just imagine that for a minute or two. What would you have to say then?

He is not asking you to believe them, the question is, what would your attitude be if you did believe them.

Actually, I think the emotions of many lefties are the same way. There is a large amount of angst on both sides where people feel the government has sold the citizens down down the river to the special interests, that the opposition party is out to bankrupt the nation for the benefit of a few well connected rich guys. That is why you see so much profanity and short temper in the political realm these days. Elections are just a matter of cash and politicians are just out there to milk and bilk the public. There is no longer any real feeling that the other side might be honest but misguided. It has become the powers vs the nation, and the nation is loosing

Ohh yes we are destroying our country from within. And we are getting guidance and help as well, from those very same people that you expect me to imagine to believe speaks the truth and only the truth.

You are correct in your assumption that I would like everybody to just take a deep breath, and look deeper into the forest.

I believe that both of the major political parties in this country have become corrupted to the point that neither of them can function in an honest way. An example of this is the payoff to both Nebraska and Lousiana to get on the Health Care Reform bandwagon. In honest politics, people don't need to be, and shouldn't be bought. Both political parties have become so intrenched into partisian politics that they can't even work together for the common good of the average citizen. Members of the House and Senate have been in Congress for so long that they have become political powers within their own selves and must be reconded with in order to get anything passed through Congress. Our political system, the system that America was built on, is failing. We are on a straight course into socialism and seem to be picking up speed every day. We need to do something to change this course of action but everybody is so eager to fight for "their side", meaning Democrat verses Republican, on every issue that the common man is loosing out and America is failing as each political party fights for control of their party - not control of the nation. We need some serious help in this country. We are spending out of control. Our debt gets worse everytime Congress goes into session. Nothing is being solved in terms of our National Debt. It is only growing. Congress does nothing but constantly spend money. it needs to stop. That won't happen because the power from each political party comes from the money they spend. We are doomed.
 
I won't go that far.

I have faith in our institutions. And I think things are working the way they were intended. Stupid is slowed down to a crawl, and then stopped before it goes anywhere. Those who want stupid are pissed, but that is the genius of Madison and Hamilton and the rest of them.

I often listen to Rush Limbaugh. When has he not told the truth? What fact has he mentioned that is demonstrably false?
That isn't the issue.
The issue is how they interpret the facts. Thus Nancy Pelosi can crow that healthcare passed the House on a bipartisan vote because she had Republicans voting for it (OK, one). That isn't technically untrue, but it is a gross distortion and no one in his right mind would describe the House vote as bipartisan.
I assume that's how liberals view Rush, assuming they bother to take him seriously at all. The facts he mentions are true but they feel his presentation is biased and unrepresentative of reality.

You can't be serious. Rush Limbaugh is all about universal premises. All Liberals are ... (fill in the blank); All Democrats are ... (fill in the blank); All non lassie faire capitalist are Communists (or socialists, marxists, radicals, nazi's, etc.); Women who demand equal rights are 'fema-nazi's'. Limbaugh's entire show is about keeping fear and hate alive; and so are the shows of Hannity, Savage, and Beck.
Histories, biographies and other factual and annotated sources of data do not generally stir the emotions, the shows noted above almost always do, and that is their intent. The former are intended to stir the brain, lay the foundation for critical examination of who, what, when, where, why and how; the latter answer these questions with a preconcieved conclusion that is ideologically pure.

That would be impossible. A person who is a member of the church of Liberalism would consider that blasphemy and reject it.

What are the tenets of the "Church of Liberalsim"?

I hope they are less hypocritical than those of, say, members of many Christian sects. For example: Thou shall not kill, except it's ok for capital punishment, murder of abortion doctors, and even non-combatants in a time of war.

Simply impossible. I have heard Limbaugh and the other charlatans speak on scientific issues, and they are so far outside the boundries of truth that there is no way that they could have spoken anything near the truth.

These people are ideologically driven liars. Two bit demagogue who do not have the truth in them.

Hey boy, the church of liberalism just kicked your collective Conservative asses in the last election, and we will get the beginnings of a real Health Care System this year:lol:
