Unconscious bias is the very worst kind. When it is unconscious, it is most dangerous. If you don't know you have it, you have no choice about it. If you aren't biased, water is not wet.

Oh, I'll admit that I am biased. I am biased about a lot of things. But I didn't v**e for O because he was black. I didn't v**e for him because I am biased against his doing the biding of the 1% oligarch that controls government. I didn't v**e for Rmoney, not because he is Morman (I have no bias against Mormans) but because he is part of that 1% oligarch. I'd like to think I am well aware of my biases.

Glaucon

I think we need to separate what has been substantiated and what is asserted without evidence and what is just pure rage and hatred against the president

Jackson has been convicted of very serious crimes and is in doing time in a federal prison. That is supported by evidence. The assertion that he his receiving tax money for some reasons while he is in prison may or may not be true, it has not been established. There is that old liberal, bleeding heart, socialist thing about a man being innocent until proven guilty. Let's give him hell on the crimes, but wait a bit before assuming the other charges are true before deciding what to do about it if it is true.

Glaucon

You would like to think you are well aware of your biases. The problem is, you are not aware of them and no one else is totally aware of their own. I don't know you so I don't know what your biases are or how much they influence your political decisions. Actually, we often are more aware of the biases of others than we are of our own.

However, I agree with you belief that Obama is a part of the oligarchy or plutocracy as much as Bush and Romney are.

"The B******i myth"? Have you been following the news lately, even ABC AND CBS have been on the Administration about the email that they finally received this week. it was a coverup plain and simple. Did they actually assassinate the Ambassador? No, but they did stand down because Hillary was incompetent in not removing our people when she should have, but they did cover it up because Obama was running for re-e******n and had stated that Al Qaeda was on it's heels and didn't want negative pub over a terrorist attack.
But,, it doesn't matter what the facts show. A libertard is a libertard regardless of the facts.

Glaucon

Iggy,

I think you are trying to say you believe something about the B******i faux scandal is true after all the partisan and non partisan investigations have found nothing. I also think you are trying to say that you find something about the B******i story funny. However, your apparent attempt to be cute did not help us know for sure what your take on the situation is or if you could be articulate if you wanted to be.

Glaucon

I don't know what the true story will be when all of the investigations are completed ( It seems it is resurrected and resurrected and may last forever). We may not even know for sure then. However, extremists seem to grab onto any bit of gossip that may be significant or that can be twisted to appear significant. Let's hold onto that h**e until we find something, anything, to slime our president with.

I hear there is solid, irrefutable evidence that Obama assassinated President Kennedy and you sure don't hear that in the lamestream media.

Glaucon

Stan,

You are obviously one of those who are desperate to believe the B******i story that has been pretty well exposed as a factoid.

LOL Did you miss that.?

Glaucon

If you are a right wing extremist, it is a lie. If you are a left wing extremist, it is a fact. If you are an intelligent person who is attempting to rise about the partisan nonsense, you will know that it is neither, it is a prediction of something in the future that might or might not turn our to be accurate. Think of it like, "you can keep your present insurance if you want to." That was an erroneous prediction if you are an intelligent, reasonably nonpartisan person and a lie if you are not. Simple?

If you have respect for our veterans and think our lawmakers are full of chicken crap - add this to your list:

Surely the next printing of Webster's Dictionary will have a photo of Rep. Jim Moran, D - VA, illustrating "BRAIN DEAD"! Another reason why we need drug testing in Congress!

Lawmaker Introduces Bill Requiring Veterans To Warn Neighbors Of Their Combat Service

Following a second mass shooting at Fort Hood, at least one lawmaker thinks a bill currently under consideration will ensure the safety of American communities by requiring the estimated 2.6 million unstable veterans who served in Iraq or Afghanistan to tell their neighbors of their combat service.
The Fortify & Unite Communities to Keep Veterans’ External Threats Secure Act (H.R. 1874) which was introduced on Tuesday, would require military veterans to register with the Department of Homeland Security and periodically “check-in” with a case officer, in addition to going door-to-door in their neighborhood to notify people nearby that they are a powder keg of post traumatic stress, alcoholism, murder, and h**e just waiting to blow.
“We really feel that we can drastically minimize the damage to some communities, especially those in troubled ‘PTSD hotspots‘ that have become a haven for these psychopathic troops,” said Rep. Jim Moran (D-Va.), who sponsored the legislation. “We are so thankful for their service, and now they can continue to serve on veterans probation.”

Naturally, that Congressman did NOT mention, the Ft. Hood k**ler was Muslim.

Glaucon

It is a step in the right direction that you are apparently aware of some of your biases and I commend you for that.
