18. Oh, I think true liberals and progressives still have that open-mindedness

Edited on Sun Mar-05-06 02:52 PM by Wordie

They've never lost it. So do "lefties," Coastie.

The problem comes when ANYONE redefines "open-mindedness" into "agreement with my beliefs, which of course, are the only correct ones," and then thinks that anyone who can't see their own particular POV, who sees things differently, is therefore closed-minded. Not only that, but heretical.
