1. Liberals hate the rich. Liberals are "socialists".
While there certainly some exceptions, liberals in general do not hate the rich. We simply want to limit their power if it negatively affects the middle class and poor (trust me. It does.) Liberalism is NOT socialism. Get that through your skull. 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 reject the idea of personal freedom.
This is probably the most stupid assumption. We simply believe there needs to be limits set in the interest of people in general.
3. Liberals all think the same way.
It is so obnoxious when i hear cons 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. For instance, some liberals do not agree with what i am saying here. The same logic applies to conservatives.
4. 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 of him simply because we have an overall favorable opinion of him. Hell some libs don't like him at all.
5. Liberals believe in mooching off the government.
Don't be dense. Any reasonably intelligent person believes in the idea 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. It is an undeniable problem. However, that does not mean the philosophy of government assistance is a harmful idea.
