A liberal is someone who reads a Paul Krugman blog post and thinks that he is now qualified to argue with someone who has actually studied economics, and contemptuously dismiss their arguments. red sox 777 posted... If liberals read deep, multi-layered texts like the Bible more often, they would probably be better able to empathize with others and understand complex arguments, which would help them win elections. so you're bascially saying all liberals are ignorant idiots who are unable to empathize with others while all conservatives are well-read smart people with tons of empathy, while providing 0% evidence for any of these claims. ok. Well, if someone was good at empathy, I wouldn't call them a (modern American) liberal. Doubtless there are lots of people who hold liberal views who are good at empathy (for example, Ruth Bader Ginsburg), but that doesn't mean I have to call them a liberal. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! <cite>red sox 777 posted [p:923639503] in Politics I...
