When truth is rejected in favour of demagoguery, debate with the intention of uncovering and acknowledging what is actually true is impossible as people only seek to validate their idealogy and commune with those who cling to the same comforting convictions. Any dissenting voices or ideas are immediately condemned, attacked and threatened with a "bumpy ride" in the hope that they will go away and stop rocking peoples' worlds with troubling, scary ideas and points of view.

Have your fun with the name calling, but I give not a **** about "liberal" and "leftist" and all the other shrill screams y'all throw at people with different opinions. It's the unbridled dogmatism that amazes the hell out of me and occasionally drives me comment.
