One by one I saw the flaws in conservative orthodoxy: attempting to fight terrorism with torture, which only aided our enemies’ propaganda efforts and thus created more terrorists; seeking to liberalize the Muslim world while curtailing rights for gay people at home; criticizing public schools for lackluster results and therefore cutting funds further; disdaining the weak while never analyzing why they are weak; always seeing the effect but never the cause, which on a mass scale perpetuates the effect.</p> <p>It doesn’t matter whether you are liberal or conservative, but it’s dangerous to always think with exclamation points instead of question marks.</p> </blockquote> <p>I liked Marty back when we were both teenagers and he wrote, in proto-blog form, about taking a hooker to his high school prom. Now I’m quite chagrined to learn that his humor came from such misogyny, mostly because my naive appreciation must have meant I harbored some of the same vitriol. This editorial is fantastic though, and he’s obviously grown up a lot since then. I hope I have too.</p> </blockquote> <p>This is a very good read. Contrary to cries of infuriated conservatives, this editorial is not a bash on conservatism from an “inside man”, but rather a well expressed opinion of why where you sit is far less important than your ability to approach issues with an investigative mentality instead of a condescending one. I’ve met far too many good people who view issues in the latter manner because they refuse to let go of their political (or religious) doctrine.</p>http://complex.tumblr.com/post/243826312http://complex.tumblr.com/post/243826312Sat, 14 Nov 2009 10:16:46 -0800RepublicanconservativeextremeMarty Beckerman“<p>Can you just put it into my account tomorrow?
