13. Actually Just The Opposite Is True
Edited on Sat Aug-13-05 09:09 PM by ThomWV
You might try this for a rebuttal:

It is the more realistic view of the world that an understanding of, and tolerance for differences, the guiding principal of us Democrats, that by any reasonable standard would be called the more mature, not the naive view.

It is the limited view of the fringe right wing that is naive. Indeed it presupposes that many obstacles are insurmountable and as a consequence change toward a more liberally oriented society is impossible. I could not imagine a more naive view that that.

How's that work for you?

Edited for a bit of clairity.
