But rather a mix of what you'd like to believe, what you know without learning, and propaganda regurgitated as fact. And if Sullivan, Limbaugh, Lileks and/or the Belmont Club also happen to believe it, then it is absolutely, undeniably true.

A self-created, self-inhabited world, with tunnel vision, pre-programmed, which is afraid of learning. For instance, look at the conservative view of having Islam taught in public schools as one of the religions of the world, or communism as one of the economic systems.

Afraid of new information, afraid to understand others. A hallmark of conservatives in general, and those on this board in particular.

To defend Mayer's remark is irresponsible, at best. At worst it is vile bigotry, easily refuted, except to those with closed, narrow minds.

I think in the cold light of day, after a good nights rest, even you would have to agree with all but the first paragraph..
