1. Liberals hate the rich. Liberals are "socialists".
While there certainly are some exceptions, liberals do not hate the rich in general. There are certain types of rich people we hate, but we are not against the idea of a wealthy class in general. We fully realize their importance to our economic system. We simply want to limit their power if it negatively affects the middle class and poor (trust me. It does and still is.) Liberalism is NOT socialism. Get that through your skull. We are talking about fundamental definitions of words here. Know the difference. Liberals do not reject capitalism. We do not want to change our economic system. We do however want there to be rules set (regulations) in the interest of society at large. The idea of corporate America having unchecked power is a scary thought.
2. Liberals all think the same way.
It is so obnoxious when i hear the cons on this board demonize liberals by generalizing them in some way. People are individuals. We all have our own opinions and level of intellectual reasoning. We don't all agree on the same ideas. It's not like we have a goddamn meeting every month to decide what we all believe. For instance, some liberals do not agree with what i am saying here. The same logic applies to conservatives. Seriously, think about this.
3. Liberals think Obama does no wrong.
Of course Obama does shit wrong. Any liberal will tell you that. We don't have this black and white view simply because we have an overall favorable opinion of him. Hell some libs don't like him at all. Contrary to what many on the right like to believe, Obama is very much a centrist. Creating private sector job growth? Pushing tax cuts? Consolidating the federal government by slashing public jobs to save billions? Appointing conservative members to his cabinet?...yeah Obama has done all of that.
4. Liberals believe in mooching off the government. They do not believe people should have jobs.
Don't be dense. Any idiot understands the importance of self reliance. It's just that, believe it or not, some people do need government assistance. Veterans are not alone on this. Are there moochers on the system? Of course there are, but they are RARE. There is no statistical evidence that fraud is rampant. Most people who receive government assistance like SNAP need it.
This really is basic common sense. When millions of people lost their jobs due to the economic spiral of 2008, those people NEEDED relief. Being able bodied means nothing when you lose your job and have kids to support.
