I enjoy reading books from both sides of the aisle and often what you hear in the media about what the book is about its really not what its about (I hope that made sense). Anyway, chemist was wrong to comment on something he hadn't read. By doing so, him and many others miss out on what the true point the author is driving at and most of the time (except in Ann Coulter's case) their opinion is not that much different from the authors.bumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02283875289144582087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11044955.post-1116784115445811712005-05-22T12:48:00.000-05:002005-05-22T12:48:00.000-05:00JasonWhere did you find Breindel ?

It was considered a taboo to call the event a pogrom . It was the subject<BR/>of talk radio for days. <BR/><BR/>Most Communists call themselves Greens , Proressive or Anarchists.<BR/>The other day 167 claimed that the <BR/>Soviet and Terrorist threat is exagerated. 100,000,000 million dead beg to differ. The world wide victims of terrorism also differ.beakerkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06088967209404588378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11044955.post-1116776188787975292005-05-22T10:36:00.000-05:002005-05-22T10:36:00.000-05:00I was just reading Breindel's Passion for Truth. I...I was just reading Breindel's Passion for Truth. It brings back so many memories of New York over the last 25 years. I miss the guy even more. He was clear and passionate ... and right on!<BR/><BR/>He was also great on the Vernona tapes. Some leftists have thrown in the towel and now accept that the vast majority of those accused of being Communists in the 50s were indeed Communists and the Communists were active in helping the enemy. But Eric shows how some just can't face the reality given the mountain of evidence. He's right - they are like the Flat Earth Society.<BR/><BR/>But even the other day, the New York Sun was talking about some leftist who proudly said "so-and-so was accused of being a Communist" as if this was a badge of honor. The Sun noticed that the left no longer adds "falsely" before accused.

As a senior-high teacher in the private sector, I present mostly conservative material, which is in line with what the students have already been exposed to, at home or in previous classes. It's interesting to see what happens when I have my students read the other side or when the occasional liberal student enrolls. Discussions can become quite heated.<BR/>Policy debates are also useful in this regard,i.e., conservative students learn not to argue with liberals before first knowing the liberal position.Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01216119321836479641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11044955.post-1116677647235650112005-05-21T07:14:00.000-05:002005-05-21T07:14:00.000-05:00Why do Liberal talk about books and authors they h...<I> Why do Liberal talk about books and authors they have not read?</I><BR/><BR/>because if they read them, they wouldn't be liberals anymore ;-D<BR/><BR/>Hey Beaker Man.............AtlasShrugs.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10480608676787781966noreply@blogger.com
