But I disagree.
When you claim to get your news sources from a wide variety of sources (that's good) and imply (or, perhaps I infer) that you're, for the most part, nonpartisan.I don't know where I ever claimed I was "fair and balanced."
That's a pretty stout retort for somebody supposedly indifferent.Everyone has a political stance, and I am no different. As I've noted many times, I lean (strongly) left socially, and more right fiscally. I don't need to "admit" anything. Much as I like you, CP, whether or not you think I am a "partisan hack" is a subject of indifference to me. Think what you will. It really doesn't change who and what I actually am one iota.
I shall note, however, that you "admit" to being a leftist.

I know you do, CP, but you're simply wrong. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you have not seen the threads I started and/or participated in that focused on flat taxes (mostly advocated for by Republicans and the right), the need to minimize regulations (again, an example of a what I agree with and a how I do not), and to create a balanced budget (advocated for by the far right - but this is one that is lately given lip service to by both parties, and then ignored by both parties when they gain power), to name a few.Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostAgain?

You infer. I do not imply. My reason for going to a wide variety of sources is not because I am "nonpartisan." I am very partisan, depending on what subject we're talking about. Less partisan on other subjects. I go to a wide variety of sources because I don't want to live in a bubble constantly being fed the same partisan crap. If there is something wrong with my thinking, I am not usually going to learn about it by reading sources that agree with me. I am more likely to discover it by reading widely and from multiple sources.Originally posted by Cow Poke View Post
Who one earth ever claimed to be "indifferent?" You seem to be stuffing a lot of words into my mouth, and then patting yourself on the back for your cleverness.Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostThat's a pretty stout retort for somebody supposedly indifferent.
You're "note" is duly noted, and (as I have noted multiple times) only partially correct.Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostI shall note, however, that you "admit" to being a leftist.
ETA: but I am beginning to suspect I'm being trolled...so I think I'll leave this line of discourse to you.The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.

Yes - I am indifferent to your assessment. I thought you were claiming that I claimed indifference to political issues. My mistake if you meant otherwise.Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostUm... so soon you forget....
