Congratulations, Matthew. It is indeed refreshing to come across people who will use their brains and common sense. Don't ever let anyone make you stupid by getting you to believe absurdities. Remember Voltaire, who said "Those who can get people to believe absurdities can make them commit atrocities." And boy, how we have seen that illustrated vividly with the rise of Islam lately.

I also found a site, Dissecting Leftism, (dissectleft.blogspot.com) which I found highly enlightening, even for me who graduated from graduate school over a decade ago. I have found it to be a treasure trove of information, including much of the history left out of our history textbooks, and explaining very persuasively the mentality and motivations of those who want to control the actions of his fellow man (in short, they want power, and will do ANYTHING, including lie and kill, to get power and hold onto it). Well worth reading when you have spare time. (I also found my way here from following links from there.)
