Re: Truth
You're agreeing with Tom. He says that there's "only one truth." You refer to the "real objective truth." Those are the same. The attitude difference between being an extreme partisan and understanding any number of partisan positions is quite different. If you are seeking the alleged real objectiv...

Liar John
Bobby Bish? Explain who this is, please. It is one of my nicknames. Cool Breeze and John choose to respond with name calling rather than logic and facts. That's a lie. I've never called you "Bob Bish." I prefer to refer to you as "Baghdad Bob Butler," which is more accurate. It is still relying on ...

Re: Authoritarianism, Tribal Thinking, Human Rights and Democracy
That is democracy, not authoritarianism. Authoritarianism can come from democratic regimes, you know. Words can be redefined to mean anything. If you have won both houses of Congress and the presidency, or their equivalent in other countries, it would take a strange definition to make authoritarian...
