"Mr. Political Science Major" shares his thoughts on truth, leftists reassessing their values, and..
Obama vs. Dubya vs. George Washington:

"Truth is found in reason, which is independent of a person's self-absorbed feelings. It takes patience and humility to discover what is true and what is not. Otherwise, if everything is relative, subjective and emotion-based, what gives a person the right to tell me I have to believe homosexuality is normal and should be accepted or that there is nothing wrong with decaptitating an unborn child through abortion?"

"Leftists question reality because it gives them an excuse not to examine themselves and their character flaws. If they looked at the world based on concrete facts and truths, they would be forced to reasses their values."

"Barack Obama makes George W. Bush look like George Washington."

5. Sorry, I should clarify...
Check this thread for a bit of background on "Mr. Political Science Major":

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=389&topic_id=5843826

Basically, he was very condescending to me in a Facebook thread because he was a political science major, and I wasn't, basically stating that I didn't know anything because I wasn't.

6. The person should study some philosophy rather than political science.
Logic is something that the right has a real problem with. Just about every thing they say can be shown to be invalid using the rules of logic.

7. You know...I've got a degree in Interanational Poli Sci and and International MBA.
Granted my MBA is more Project Management based.

I don't think her remembers jack and shit and jack left town from college...and the repig pretend world where they understand the mystical world of global economics is a falsehood.

Most of them can't get beyond the simpler lessons of supply/demand.
