Why do ultra-conservative call themselves thinkers at all, when all they do is cling to ways of the past and rhetorical one-liners from the intellectually banal likes of Palin and Beck.

no one is a totally independent thinker, but I'll take progressive philosophies and policies. G-d forbid we should progress

We do not see things as they are, we see things as we are.

Answer 2

I don't call myself an independent thinker with regard to political ideas.

Answer 3

No such thing as independent thinker. Everyone is influenced by what they believe or learn.

Answer 4

I agree. Freethinkers are no such thing--they all seem to toe the same lines and regurgitate the same CNN-based tripe they've been brainwashed with along with all the other evolutionists. Other than that, they're all people who need a Savior like the rest of us, but can a Freethinker get outside the box enough to consider that?

Only God in His infinite grace and mercy can help the sinner see his deeds for what they are.

Answer 5

You may want to go in the politics forum. Both liberals and conservatives suffer from groupthink.

Answer 6

Aren't conservatives the ones who keep parroting universal healthcare will turn us into communists?

Answer 7

Actually liberals and progressives are similar, but not the same.

Do you have a source, or are you just repeating what you heard?

Answer 8

not really since they have chosen to believe these things and are free to think that way. TROLL.

Answer 9

if by "same things" you mean conclusions based on sound evidence then yes, we believe in the "same thing"

Answer 10

I love how fundies just lump everyone they dislike into one group and dismiss them instently. It is so much easier then thinking.
