I still hear it coming from the far Left, with the amusing twist that the people they call "notorious" are often completely unknown outside their little social circle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-1162648457387735212006-11-04T08:54:00.000-05:002006-11-04T08:54:00.000-05:00That's good Jonathan.

As a quick reversion to our elementary school days I will retort "If you only talked about things you knew about, you'd only get to talk about being STUPID." Ah, that takes me back.bs kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02871717971078952304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-1162643000864753662006-11-04T07:23:00.000-05:002006-11-04T07:23:00.000-05:00Don't worry Bethany- I'm always happy to talk abou...Don't worry Bethany- I'm always happy to talk about something I know nothing about.GraniteDadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04851407860883846133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-1162618029126227412006-11-04T00:27:00.000-05:002006-11-04T00:27:00.000-05:00The Screwtape Letters is possibly my favorite book...The Screwtape Letters is possibly my favorite book ever (or at least the one I've read the most...40+ times at last count) so I reference it frequently. That being said, Lewis actually refers to that sort of phrasing as something definitively not of God, and I believe I agree with him. The implying a statement or arguement has been made where none has, the implying that anyone who believes otherwise is somehow silly...it relates quite nicely to your theory that part of the appeal of being a Democrat is the appeal of being 'in the know'. I'm very upset by this trend by both parties...would it kill us all to talk about things we don't know or try to actually make a logical arguement about things???? Personally, even if it was something that truly 'everyone knew' the contrarian in me would point out that common knowledge is frequently wrong. A thing is not made more or less true by the number of people who admit it to be truth.bs kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02871717971078952304noreply@blogger.com
