You can't stand people who believe their political views/beliefs are the RIGHT ones? How should people feel about their political beliefs--what would be an appropriate attitude to take, if not to think theirs are RIGHT?
- bmelton 12y agoBelieving your beliefs are the only correct way to believe is fine, but gets rather interesting when accusing the "other party" as brainwashed.
- Frondo 12y agoFair enough!
- EpicEng 12y agobmelton kinda nailed it, but no, of course it's fine/normal to believe your beliefs are right (note the lower case 'right'). It's when one becomes so dogmatic as to believe that the other side is made up of brainwashed morons that a problem arises.
- chris_wot 12y agoConservatives brainwashed liberals into brainwashing conservatives into liberals. It's a giant ironic conspiracy cooked up by Anh Rand and the U.S. Government. I read it in an article on Wikipedia.
- pc86 12y agoThis is a blatant and deliberate mischaracterization of what EpicEng said. Of course everyone believes that their beliefs are correct (I can't even believe I had to type that). It's the belief that anyone with a different ideology or party registration is stupid/greedy/brainwashed/naive/etc he was referring to.
