I don’t think I will be alone in saying that the SDMB has a very large ‘liberal’ population. In fact it seems to me that the majority of people who post here are, like me, quiet liberal in their views.
Now one thing about me is that when I am involved in a debate I always look for a ‘devil’s advocate’ and if there isn’t one I take up the role. So today I was thinking: are there any intelligent right-wing web sites out there? Well there are…kinda.
Check this out:
It is great. In the spec of one page they diss the rainforests, environmentalists and Bono’s attempts to fight world poverty.
While it is disturbing to see points of view that are so different it has certainly given me a wake-up call.
Your comments please.
Judging only by the url, I assume it’s just a mirror site of http://www.foxnews.com
Yes, I hear if you open a window with rightwingnews.com, then open another with yellowtimes.org, they will annihilate each other in a burst of pure energy, destroying you, your computer, and any partisanship that you may have had.
It’s good to hear that you are willing to seek out and listen to alternative views. That’s exactly why I have come to and stayed here. The important point is not just to read with great disagreement, but to try and understand the reasoning behind the argument. I’ve constantly rethought my views on a number of issues since I began to read/post here. I can’t say that I’ve had my mind changed on any of them yet, but it is refreshing to have to learn all over again why I feel a certain way.
Because I don’t use the internet for constant reassurance of my views, I can’t think off-hand of any good “conservative” sites, but I’ll check out some of my links and get back to you if I do find some.
