Re: Goldberg's book "Bias"

"Leftist" is how we rightists identify liberals of all degrees, because we know they got their orientation from the Marxist left through the universities, which are dominated by the 60s generation.

And your evidence for that is what exactly? Is it as solid as your evidence for the Flood, or Exodus or Young Earth or the Fall?

Or is it simply another really silly statement that you toss out there as though it had any validity?

On Faith's allegations.

Faith said:

"Leftist" is how we rightists identify liberals of all degrees, because we know they got their orientation from the Marxist left through the universities, which are dominated by the 60s generation.

and when I asked her if she could support it she replied:

It isn't my evidence, it's Goldberg's, according to the review.

Faith, that just makes no sense at all. In the quote I asked you to address there was no mention of Goldberg, but rather another of your UNIVERSAL statements, not dealing with facts or actions, but just a simplistic generalization.

Even your attempt at justification is but more simplistic generalizations:

He documents the Ivy League backgrounds of the major news pundits, Ivy League being leftist.

You go on to make an ever more sophomoric statement and toss it out like it had any meaning or relevance:

Heck, jar, I know a Marxist when I hear one.

A Marxist is a very specific economic position and frankly one I seldom hear espoused, or is this like everything else where you have some new made up definition of what a Marxist really is?

Re: On Faith's allegations.

I gotta say faith I read your post over several times and still it makes no meaning.

Apparently you have never heard of Cultural Marxism. But I was talking about a real Marxist, who went on to teach it.

and that means?

But we do all know that the leftists are forged in the leftist universities.

We do? Do they wear some special color, or part their hair in the middle?

That includes you, supposedly a Christian, supposedly a conservative even (by some quirky standard known only to you), but indoctrinated in a nominally Christian but amazingly liberal educational environment that led you to question the Bible, according to your testimony on the belief thread, an indoctrination you have apparently never questioned or transcended.

You mean I don't question that everything should be questioned?

What in the world are you talking about?

Here is my short synopsis. It may well be inaccurate so please consider explaining your version.

In life there are two peoples, those who look for Answers to Questions and those who look for Answers to question. The former quickly reach a dead end. Once they have found their Answer they are for all practical purposes as dead as a lump of coal. They have reached a destination and will never know what wonders are at the next stop of the journey.

to which Faith replied:

quote:
It was fascinating to read how one of your teachers, guides, leaders, whatever, led you like a skilful lawyer right into the conclusion he had in mind, and you fell like a sucker for it and have never looked back.

I still have no idea of what you are saying or how it relates to the question of whether there is a Leftist bias in the media, but I believe that somewhere in there might be a thought.

Can you try again? Where did you read this? What did I fall for? What makes you think I haven't looked back?

What does any of that have to do with the difference between those who look for Answers to questions and those who look for answers to Question?

Re: On Faith's allegations.

That's ok jar I don't understand anything you say either.

But you never questioned anything. You just followed what you were supposed to follow, what you were led into by your liberal teachers. You never questioned them, you never questioned the conclusions they led you into. You fell for a parody of inquiry.

And your evidence for that is?

You know my teachers were liberal because?

You know I didn't question them by...?

You know that they led me to conclusions from ...?

Do you have any support for these assertions or are they just like the Fall and Flood and Exodus and Young Earth?

Re: On Faith's allegations.

Doesn't bother you all those leading terms and tendentious implications in this made-up story that are a total misrepresentation of God, which lead to only one possible conclusion. Neither does it jar.

And your evidence that it is a made up story is...?

And your evidence that it misrepresents GOD is ...?

And the only possible conclusion is ...?

Re: On Faith's allegations.

My criticism is that it's a blatant transparent misrepresentation of the Bible, a blasphemous denigration of God as a "warlord" told by a revisionist liberal, and it forces one to only one conclusion, which a kid has no ability to resist.

That has got to be the silliest statement you've made yet.

What is your reason for thinking that Joe Wood was a "revisionist liberal?"

What makes you think the story was made up?

What makes you think that it denigrates GOD as opposed to portraying your parody goddlet?

What makes you think a kid has no ability to resist?

What makes you think there was only one possible conclusion?
