An Opening
I've been linked to Rafe Coburn for a long time. He's a great programmer and has a very sharp and analytical mind, but his politics have often grated on my nerves. But today Rafe has said something that gives me a greater measure of respect for him. It's not often that a Liberal will admit that they are closed-minded and it is a sign of maturity when they finally say so.
Granted, he uses the opportunity to say that the President is the kind of loser he used to be, but at least the parallel is made. As we discussed earlier, it is ever a quality of leadership that you must sacrifice pondering to the Cause.

More evidence that the newspeak usage of "Liberal" is oxymoronic, eh?

How about this? In Harper's Magazine some years ago, there was an interview with Justice Thomas. In it, the writer stated that Thomas said if a person was applying for an internship, the c.v. was trash canned if applicant ever took any Black studies classes.
Isn't that behavior closed minded?
