Raoul is certainly more polite than I am. Objective I don't thinks so. Believing every anti-American rant without question and immediately generalizing it is hardly objective. It doesn't surprise me that you consider him objective because he shares your views. That seems to be your primary criterion for objectivity. Everyone that favors Bush's stance on any topic gets labeled as a mindless idiot by you. While I agree with you on more topics than Tom, I find him far more objective than you because he does obviously read links I post to contradict him and tries to understand my point of view and I try to return the favor.

Being objective is not mindlessy following the party line - like you

Seldom bothering to read contrary information - like you

Dissmissing peoples opinions by labeling them drones rather than adressing their arguements - like you

Avoiding key counter arguments - like Raoul (yes everyone misses posts and has llimited time, but 10 to 20 rounds of avoiding a point is kind of a pattern)

It is calling someone off base on any issue you find fault with the logic on no matter what else you agree on. (Me and Bush, Me and Tom, Me and Larry, Me and Chris, Me and Phil, Me and Gary etc)

I also think that Raoul and I must have a left brain right brain disconnect because what he posts makes absolutely no sense to me at times despite being written in good English and grammer.
