Basically the amount of simple minded ,uncritical thinking, full of every shoddy right wing Limbo-like cliches and dishonest, inaccurate generalizations (Don’t people here understand that gross generalizations lead to lies and falsehoods?), in this piece and in the predictably banal comments shows that these shallow thinkers are only concerned about the kind of critcal thinking that rubber stamps their simple worldview. Yeah, “Bush lied people died” is a little simpleminded, but when I hear a Catholic robot who supports the war that her Church opposed, I want to hear a good reason why she thought war was not only necessary to go to war, but she doesn’t have to sacrifice a thing for. Of course, the great thinkers here are never emotional, inaccurate or anti-intellectual and they are so spiritually superior too. Reminds me of the drivel you find at “American Thinker”: prolefeed masqerading as intellectual.
