The utter disproportionality of the reporting (or lack thereof) of  what Mark Steyn said carefully on one radio show and what Van Jones has said over many years  tells any one with an objective hearing apparatus that our country has been taken over by the most vile partisan press you could have imagined. When I  was a liberal prior to 9/11, I believed all of these summations and assertions of the press. Now I see this behavior for the vile unprincipled slander of conservatives that it is -- just disgusting. &lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">mbabbitt</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 06 Sep 2009 19:00:40 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Power Line - 	How the Conservative Movement Looks from the Outside</title><link>(u'http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2009/09/024556.php',%2016954947L)#comment-16954947</link><description>&lt;p&gt;I went to a tea party in Olympia with nearly 1000 others on 9-12. Today, I  have just come from a breakfast get together today in the Seattle area of people who often spoke of having never been politically active in their lives and are now realizing that they are in fact on the Conservative side of the spectrum and willing to fight the current leftward lurch of the country. Social issues were a minor factor for this group. Preserving the liberty promised in our Constitution,  and exposing the cancerous corruption of the Left -- the thugocracy -- is what seems to be foremost in people's minds. This is what is firing people up.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">mbabbitt</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 20 Sep 2009 02:43:31 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Power Line - 	How the Conservative Movement Looks from the Outside</title><link>(u'http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2009/09/024556.php',%2016986781L)#comment-16986781</link><description>&lt;p&gt;I love how arrogant liberals are always telling us what we don't see.

Should I accept female genital mutilation because some cultures practice it? Diversity today means putting blinders on so as to not rock the 'nice' boat, regardless of other consequences. The religion of  (false) 'niceness'  has become the state religion. What is the difference between telling people you can't condemn adultery because we need to be nice to the adulterers and teaching that sex outside traditional marriage in okay because you might hurt someone's feelings? How about the Christian's devotion to their faith? Why don't their feelings matter ? And they have a lot more logical, theological, and historical evidence to back up their beliefs. Using the logical method of  argumentum ad absurdum works well with the diversity meme.
