In its mind, shiny things grab your attention. Some positions are useful, and some not. There is nothing there to hold that 'mind', so once noted, it moves on, as noting 'the sky is blue', would be unnecessary, boring. Why the sky is blue, is carefully barred from entering the mind. <br /><br />The concept of being interested in the truth of a point, and the unlimited ways in which it can be examined, probed and explored for ever and still more depth, is inconceivable to the aninnymouse mind, as is reflected in the mechanical style of writing that this particular variant on the theme, mechanically cranks out here, day after day, failing each and every time to express an interesting idea.<br /><br />Having no regard for Truth, it has no grasp of, or use for, such a thought as 'Interesting...', and cannot fathom the non empiracle nature of the effort. <br /><br />IOW: Boring is, as boring does. <br /><br />Van Harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08470413719262297062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-45657425710384194492018-09-30T17:06:13.024-07:002018-09-30T17:06:13.024-07:00So you're saying that a blogger wrote a convin...So you're saying that a blogger wrote a convincing article with lots of evidence and details, then proceeded to write more articles with more evidence and examples, and that leads you to suspect that they don't believe their assertions? Writers write. They see more examples of what they are explaining, and they write about that. That's a strange way of arguing that you are using. Not to mention, you don't understand that having a blog means writing on a regular basis.

The causes were described in meticulous detail, as well numerous specific events which supported the case. The case was solid and convincing. Readers commented in agreement. All was well. <br /><br />However, the blog author went on to describe the same case in several hundred consequent posts, going over the same evidence in a myriad of slightly different ways. Why would this be necessary? One explanation would be, he doesn't feel like the case had been adequately proved, and is massaging the evidence, or adding new instances, to make it ever more convincing to readers, all of whom are in no need of convincing. <br /><br />Additionally, the blog author has never forwarded or endorsed any remedy for the Leftist menace. He has tried and convicted the Leftist, but has recommended something to redress the situation<br />. If the Leftist is guilty, then there should be a corresponding action plan, it stands to common sense. Action plans can be carried out under the rule of law, and are generally directed towards peaceful means for change. Evangelists are a perfect example. <br /><br />Unless...there is some concern about the solidity of the conviction, and therefore a hesitation to recommend an action. <br /> <br />It's all just suspicious, nothing really definite here.<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-41145729257203609052018-09-30T12:26:41.278-07:002018-09-30T12:26:41.278-07:00What is the part that leads you to believe that th...What is the part that leads you to believe that those here don't really believe our assertions? Please be specific and give an example or two. How can you seriously ask why the conservative viewpoint is not universally adopted? Have you not noticed that the Left attacks truth, e pluribus unum, in God we trust, and capitalism and controls the media and education? They are devious enough to capture young hearts before the minds are formed and promise them they will feel virtuous while getting free stuff, then gives them an enemy to blame when they are depressed and feel their lives are meaningless because they don't have to grow up, marry, raise children, get a job and deal with reality in the way all previous generations have? Either be specific or at least spell out your point.

You descr...Hello Dr. Godwin and Blog Participants:<br /><br />You describe the pathological antics of the Leftist opponent, as you have done at great length and many times, but this leads to a suspicion you don't quite believe your own assertions. Whistling in the dark. <br /><br />Could it be there is some jewel hidden in the Leftist slop trough? I think you know there is. Find it. <br /><br />If the conservative viewpoint is right and natural, then why is not universally adopted? Could there be some poisonous nut hidden in the healthy conservative salad? Maybe....toss it more and look.<br /><br />You have not been as thorough as you need to be, to find the truth you strive to express.<br /><br />That being said, I toss a topic out there which relates and could hold vital clues. That is the practice of medicine in the USA, from the viewpoint of the physician. What is it like to practice medicine these days? <br /><br />Professor X-D. <br /><br /> <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-1591950327976063942018-09-30T09:29:36.460-07:002018-09-30T09:29:36.460-07:00Said the voice in my head.

I know so many who are truly decent people, yet they are fooled; sometimes just because they naively believe the "authority" of journalism, and sometimes because to believe it flatters their own sense of self. For instance, "I was abused once and never reported it, therefore she must be telling the truth." Nevermind what actually did or didn't happen in this particular case.<br /><br /><br /><i>For example, does Obama really believe he and not Trump is responsible for our booming economy?</i><br />To be fair, if everything bad that happened during his presidency was Bush's fault, it follows that everything good happening after his presidency must be his fault. At least he's consistent...<br /><br /><i>Put it this way: the cosmos is either an open system or it is closed. But if it is closed, you've got a lot of explaining to do.

It does not depart from reality so much as [it] completely ignores reality and... seeks to disrupt our normal access to reality.”<br /><br />If God is always revealing Himself to us, and throughout history this revelation was encountered/responded to to varying degrees, modern man seems to have created an ideological lie to deny the existence of a Creator that is still creating existence. <br /><br />This is such a helpful idea and explains so much. Everyday, there is something the Leftists do in their ongoing effort to destroy our civilization that I reflexively ask, "How can they believe that?!" or "How can they not see they are lying?!" (Kavanaugh is evil but his accusers are worthy of being believed, for example. It is like they have a spell on them that hides the truth, but first they reduced the truth to everyone has their own truth, then they don't have to wrestle with that inconvenient concept and can get right to the ideological lies.)<br /><br />I hope instead of indulging in the futility of asking those questions that instead I can pray for those who are lying to themselves to open themselves up to truth and God and join the fight against the Left before they can destroy our culture.Leslie Godwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11794375005614166921noreply@blogger.com
