October 21, 2009 at 8:27 PM #472029Participant[quote=Allan from Fallbrook][quote=fredo4]Despite thinking the opposite of themselves, I’ve found, surprisingly, that non-religious, college educated people tend to be the least tolerant and the most conformist.[/quote]
Fredo: Yup, and Brian’s responses show that perfectly. Its a mix of confirmation bias, (faux) intellectual superiority and doctrinaire thinking.
Look at his (non) responses on abortion, or, more correctly, his Leftist conformist responses on abortion as well as his willingness to blame the Republicans for everything (which, ironically, is something he pillories Republicans for doing with the Democrats) and his consistent bigotry when it comes to Christians or “Kansans” (short hand for white, non-college educated folks in “fly over country”).
I deal with quite a few left-leaning colleagues and their responses are always amusing when it comes to pointing out this bias/bigotry. They generally are unaware that these biases even exist, but have been educated (programmed) to believe in their own intellectual superiority and thus that stench of paternalistic, “I know better and you should do what I/we say” autocracy.[/quote]

So some are “more equal than others”
[/quote]In my opinion, when it comes to abortion, the woman’s wishes trump everything, even the dad’s wishes.
It’s her body and she can do whatever she wants.
It’s like “you live in my house; so you have to live by my rules”.
The government should stay out of people’s private affairs.
