    Conservative Disregard for FactCheck.org

    .

    The only word I trust, is the word of god.

    There's only one true FactCheck.org and that's TheBible.god

    Yes. The truth, like reality, has a liberal bias. However let's not fall into the liberal/conservative trap here. It's Republican "truth" to use whatever supports their ends, nothing more.

    You don't have to spend more than 30 seconds on FactCheck.org to realize it is spewing liberal lies in the name of non-partisanship.

    Conservatives and liberals both have disregard for fact, but I would say a majority of both are level headed. For instance, my uncle is one of those blindly patriotic, blindly conservative people that will debunk any fact given, and often will make up his own facts. He's also the type that believes the States should be a Christian country, etc..., but knows nothing about the Bible.

    Then you have the Rush/Hannity type that's big on thinking their informed and spouting rhetoric at every whim. They're kind of like the "hipster" conservatives that you want to bash in the head. They too will deny fact. This is turn relates to liberals, but I'm only addressing conservatives as the topic.

    tl;dr - It's a minority that are this way. The retards are always the loudest and most often remembered. There are a ton of level headed, intelligent conservatives out there.

    (Yes, I'm "conservative," minus the "God")

    You must completely have missed the articles that call out Obama and Dems on their BS as well, but you know, go ahead with that.

    Example: Senior Scare, Yet Again | FactCheck.org

    EDIT: Here's another, directed @ Obama: http://factcheck.org/2009/08/abortio...s-fabricating/

    Completely off topic, but it was amusing:






    Hey, Leif look. BG ads has started catering to you specifically.

    So in order to support the idea that most conservatives are not retarded, you provide examples mentioning 2 retarded conservatives.

    Nice trolling bro

    Jesus is a fucking socialist, I thought we've made this clear.

    Those are two examples akin to the person the OP was writing about. In summation, there are intelligent conservatives because they're not screaming their head off nonstop, denying everything (the two examples).

    I won't though, because Jesus' socialist agenda made it so that he will bail out everyone's sin.

    Indeed.

    We also need to bring back the indulgences too, I don't want none of those volunteering liberal hippies getting access to heaven just because of things like good deeds.

    I love this man with all of my heart. Keep it up brother, the sacrifice you're making will jesusify the liberal base and send those silly moderates over to us in droves.


    PREACH IT

    There are a lot of PEOPLE who are this unreasonable and bent on their own dogma so that they refuse to consider the quality of source material.

    It's not a "conservative" or a "republican" trait.

    People in general like believing in stuff, and don't like having those beliefs questioned. There is a comfort associated in reading material that agrees with your beliefs, and in attempting to debunk material that disagrees with your beliefs.

    I Hate Your Politics � Whatever

    He hates on both sides pretty well and throws in libertarianism to boot. This section is relevant to this discussion.

    Conservatives don’t actually bother to spend time with people who are not conservative, and thus become confused and irritable when people disagree with them; fundamentally can’t see how that’s even possible, which shows an almost charming intellectual naiveté. Less interested in explaining their point of view than nuking you and everything you stand for into blackened cinders before your evil worldview catches on like a virus.

    Example 1) Dick Cheney cited FactCheck.org during the 2004 elections, specifically referencing their defense of his actions as CEO of Halliburton.

    FactCheck.org

    Example 2) FactCheck.org



    Here are two examples of FactCheck.org dropping the bullshit hammer on two different high-profile Democrats. Now I want you to explain to me how the definitive liberal slant of FactCheck.org can be seen in 30 seconds of browsing their site, because I just spent about that same amount of time to find these two examples to the contrary.
