“Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other views, but then are shocked and offended to discover that there are other views.”

“Though liberals do a great deal of talking about hearing other points of view, it sometimes shocks them to learn that there are other points of view.”

“The Tea Party is a fitting representation of our era of no-debate, politically correct politics, where each political side has its own media, and opposing views are almost never given a fair hearing. Conservatives listen only to conservatives, and liberals listen only to liberals. People are spared the inconvenience of facts that don’t fit their beliefs and the unpleasantness of seriously considering a point of view other than their own.”

“[T]he mere existence of others who have radically different beliefs about the nature ofreality poses an explicit challenge to the claims of absolute truth made on behalf of one’s ownpoint of view, thus undermining the anxiety-buffering capacity of that world view.”

“You have always the same view from your window! For different views, visit other houses! And for different ideas, visit other minds!”

“I see no good reasons why the views given in this volume should shock the religious views of anyone.”
