Remember Samuel L Jackson’s great line (I can’t remember the movie, but I loved the line) “Don’t make assumptions, when you do you make an ass out of you and of umption.” I thought about my last post and realized that I could not be positive that the idiot letter writer was actually a liberal; but, let me explain my reasoning.
It was in the Star Tribune, which generally prints a ratio of about nine liberal letters to one conservative. The guy was whining, and in particular about some trivial matter, so that would immediately point to a liberal. His logic seemed to be that the couple of hundred hot dogs eaten during the contest could have saved all the starving people of Africa; so, flawed logic is another positive indicator of him being a liberal. Then you have the concept of messages being sent; a liberal definitely loves to send messages, such as---I am tolerant, but you’re a racist, hate-filled, homophobic pig if you don’t think exactly like I do.
Anyway, the guy may have been a conservative; but, I doubt it. Speaking of the Star Tribune editorial board---I’ve sent in a number of letters to the editor stating a conservative position and have had 3 published; in each case the content of my letter was so butchered and edited down that my main point was unrecognizable. That’s the way the Star Tribune provides opposing viewpoints to their left wing agenda.
