the next - i hate immigrants or everyone should worship my god etc. - email i get better be really heavy on facts. i have lots of opinions too but i don't believe every piece of nonsense that crosses my path just because it furthers my opinion. if you can't make your cse based on facts then you don't have a case - you have a cult. just as a little for instance - there is an email out there that says that 95% of all murder warrants are for illegal immigrants. now, first of all, the source for this is a woman who said 95% of all outstanding warrants which is significantly different - don'tcha think?? PLUS - it was just one woman and she's a lawyer, a journalist and an atheist . .. usually any one of those are enough for a conservative to dismiss her. at any rate - no one has ever been able to provide any hard facts for her argument. i myself would like to say that i believe at least four times as much money is wasted on corporate tax breaks and pampering politicians than on welfare but i haven't done the proper leg work.
so carl's away - it's alittle weird. i'm sure it will be much stranger after mike leaves.
k- - must sleep.
night night

It appears that the liberal "echo-chambers" of the Bush era are dissolving, and being replaced by conservative ones.
Have you ever looked at "Conservapedia"? Those people honestly don't know how badly they are deluding themselves...
liberal echo chambers?? i can honestly say that i don't think i have ever received a liberal agenda email. OH, wait - i did get one about some goofy ass things that bush said but he really did say them. but i haven't gotten any . . . for instance, "creationists are trying to brainwash your children into ignoring science" (and i might argue that wouldn't be much of a hyperbole). and I leave in what is supposedly the most liberal state in the union. i had not read it before but i think you've made my point - that's been around since 2006. there is a liberapedia but it tells you right on page one that it is mostly just a form of entertainment. not propoganda.
unfortunately, i think most liberals operate under the idea that there is no reason to fight fire with fire. they seem to have the idea that, for instance, creationists won't win and yet we seem to forget that McCarthy almost destroyed this country not too long ago. the mentality is exactly the same.
if you've seen liberal versions of the emails i've eluded to - i would love to hear about them.
