- You weren't listening very carefully (I doubt you listened at all). He
- favors legalization of =some= drugs, primarily marijuana, as do most
- physicians.
-
- You have also mischaracterized his position on abortion. As I understand
- it, he feels that limiting "abortion on demand" to the first trimester gives
- the Right to Lifers the benefit of the doubt, since the absence of any
- evidence of sentience does not (and cannot) absolutely prove that it could
- not exist.

-
- As a regular listener, I've =never= heard him criticize christianity except
- those extremists who use it to justify absurd ideas.
-
- >He never said one good word about Reagan or Bush.
-
- He has only criticized the Reagan/Bush medical policies, about which there
- is very little good =to= say.

-
- Of course Cal Thomas says worthwhile things sometimes (actually, quite
- frequently). Even Rush Limbaugh comes up with the occasional good idea (an
- increasingly rare event).
-
- I don't view the world in the polarized way that you and Rush do. Everybody
- knows something worth learning (some more than others, of course). Until
- you realize that, and stop categorizing people as "liberals" and
- "conservatives" (and adding the "whacko" to those you don't favor), you will
- never grow beyond your self imposed tunnel vision.
