Quote from ZZZzzzzzzz:
Many truly gifted children go to private schools and/or have private tutors, or didn't you know that?
I wager most gifted children, when finally arriving at adulthood, opt for liberal ways over regressive fundamentalism ways of thinking, preferring non conformity and creativity to the ho hum existence and hobgoblins of little klannish minds...
Quote from jem:
whats your point ? private schools are filled with conservative teachers. That would be news to me.
If you refer to traditional liberalism I am support traditional liberalism.
True liberalism is what many true conservatives promote.
Small non intrusive govt, leave me alone, I will leave you alone. Faithfulness to the constitution.
We don't need your liberal experiments with our tax code we need less taxes.
A don't bring up Bush's transgressions with me. Nobody should support Congress's, the Courts' or the executive's violation of the constitution.
Quote from drmarkan:
I think the first two sentences of your reply tells us everything we need to know. Your thousands of posts tell us the rest.
One thing you may want to reflect on is if you have ever admitted to yourself that a position you have taken is wrong. Perhaps like the very one you take here. Everyone that takes an opposing point of view to you is considered klannish. For one, how does this help to raise the level of society which is key to Dabrowski's 4th level of development? To me, it seems that you would post something like this in order to make yourself feel better which falls more in line with level 1:
Marked by selfishness and egocentricism (both reticent and explicit), those at level one development generally seek self-fulfilment above all, justifying there pursuits through a sort of "its all about me" thinking; or, more simply put, they adhere strongly to the phrase "the ends justifies the means", sometimes disregarding the sevarity of the "means". Many people who are considered "leaders" often fall into this category.
This makes me think of Rearden's post discussing troll tactics in reference to you. I and many others have tried to engage you in a dialogue only to be bombarded with the most childish behavior as a response from you. Trying to assert intellectual superiority over others by posting something like this adds no value to any of our lives. Not even your own.
I think the one line you should really ponder from Dabrowski is this one:
A fairly high degree of primary integration is present in the average person; a very high degree of primary integration is present in the psychopath" (Dabrowski 1964, p. 121).

well, he deserves credit for one thing ... the ability to generate a Level I impulsive need to respond to second factor forces ...
yes, Zzzzzzzz's playground is mostly confined to the lower levels of disintegration. For that, we should all be ashamed for participating.

his constant insistance that groupthink is confined to a particular political affiliation continues to destroy any credibility he never had...
A former poster brought up a very poignant example in Camron Diaz prancing around Peru clad in Communist propaganda... The klannish right may simply accept the fact that Jesus was the Messiah, it's still far better then accepting without question that Mao was and communism is the most benevolent form of government...
Here's a chance, ZZZZZZZZZZZ come up with an Urban Dictionary worthy term for the digbats on the left who accept all the leftist propaganda that they are spoonfeed, such as yourself ...
Quote from ZZZzzzzzzz:
The bulk of private schools are Christian schools...duh!
Think Catholic primary schools...Doh!
Geez, what is your shoe size? It must really hurt putting that thing in your mouth all the time....
