You are as partisan as anybody on this forum

And yet immesurably less partisan than some, from what I see posted.
Wow.
A friendly "face".
Rare in these-here-parts, partner.
The funny thing is,
No matter how many times I agree with their point of view, hard core progressives don't see it.
It is called: "Confirmation Bias".
They only see what they want to see.
The great thing about being a non-partisan moderate conservative, is that you can basically piss off people on both sides of the politcal divide.

In psychology and cognitive science, confirmation bias (or confirmatory bias) is a tendency to search for or interpret information in a way that confirms one's preconceptions, leading to statistical errors.
Confirmation bias is a type of cognitive bias and represents an error of inductive inference toward confirmation of the hypothesis under study.
Confirmation bias is a phenomenon wherein decision makers have been shown to actively seek out and assign more weight to evidence that confirms their hypothesis, and ignore or underweigh evidence that could disconfirm their hypothesis.
As such, it can be thought of as a form of selection bias in collecting evidence.
