Constitutionalist / Universalist
You mean like those that think that only 6% of scientists are republican is somehow significant? Yea, they dumb.
Is that true? I did not know that. Only 6% of scientists are Republicans. That's pretty significant to me - and I think it probably is (or should be) to a lot of others.
Only 6%. Wow! What with the attitude of so many Republicans that I know toward science ("It's bogus!"), I would have thought the percentage of scientists who are Republican would have been much closer to zero.
But we digress . . .
The majority of Christians (or any denomination) are not universalists open to all other faiths. Doesn't mean the faith is wrong. Just because very few (in ANY group) know how to reconcile with all other denominations and faiths without compromising one or the other.
I can't find many fellow Democrats who are as strong Constitutionalists as I find among Republicans, Libertarians, and Independents. Does that mean Democrats are hopeless or lawless?
No, but it shows the importance of why all groups are necessary to check and balance each other, and not take any one group out of context with the whole. We all have strengths and weaknesses in different areas for a reason. Like a mixed orchestra, where every part is important and completely different from the others. Very few people can play multiple instruments or roles, which is no indication that one person is "better" than someone else. (If you've ever been in a band or play, where dueling stars were competing to outdo each other, you might relate to how annoying it is to the other players and detrimental it is to the overall performance.)
Why not recognize people for areas of strength, and not just criticize where they may be lacking? Seems we could accomplish more that way, than trying to discredit each other. Where one group "doesn't specialize" in an area, why not share knowledge and vice versa?
