I've been called a "shrill Far Leftist" and a "fascist appeaser". While labels of "liberal" and "conservative" are somewhat handy for general categorization, to label oneself is to automatically box one in with the assumptions of that label.

I am a truth seeker, and if that truth should conflict with assumptions I hold, I do my damndest to welcome that truth to the best of my abilities.

I think that a key component of intelligence is the ability to "unlearn".

That said, conservapedia is a joke to me, which is ironic because conservative comedy usually weak sauce (see Dennis Miller for further details). Writing articles that are intentionally biased whilst proclaiming to be "the truth" borders on Dunning Kruger territory.

I don't say this as a personal attack on your ethos, only on any efforts to proclaim a "truth" in service of an agenda.

Edit:

Looks like I mis-read that comment. Leaving my statement intact to own my words.

WTH did I just read?

> WTH did I just read?

My response to you promoting conservapedia. It wasn't intended as a personal attack, and I expect you to treat my response as though it came from some rando on teh interwebs.

Edit: you read my stupid, sincere, and sloppy response to my erroneous assumptions about what you said. Sorry about that.

It seems you (and a lot of downvoters) missed the sarcasm in that comment.

Sarcasm is tough to begin with, harder in print, and even harder in today's political climate.

And going back to re-read the comment I replied to I see that I did indeed incorrectly parse that comment. I stand corrected in that regard.

Thank you for your input.
