Why do people hate Liberals?

[Wolfsister77]

If they truly do hate liberals, aka people they don't even know, and couldn't pick out of a line-up, I'm guessing they are mentally ill.

Welcome back BDB, but in this thread, based upon your statement that those who hate people they couldn't pick out of a line-up are mentally ill, there are many more liberals who are mentally ill than there are conservatives. Seems to me that hate for those who do not agree with you is more of a liberal trait than a conservative one.

Have you looked at the posts the Conservatives here make and say about the Liberals? Just based on that alone, they are the intolerant ones.

Most (not all) are completely intolerant of anybody who has different beliefs than they do.

They make condescending and degrading comments about Liberals on a regular basis and have no trouble with name calling, labeling, or grouping them all under some umbrella they created to describe Liberals.

And then they run around thanking and patting each other on the back about it like they are clever or something.

I'm sure they rep the crap out of each other for it too.

Birds of a feather as the saying goes.

So it always blows my mind to see people say that Liberals are more intolerant of Conservatives here than vice versa.

I'm not saying there are no Liberals that use insults, belittle, or label but if you didn't see it from the Conservative side and how much more frequent it is there, you'd have to be blind.

No plagiarism pea brain. The key narrative was Robert Frost's who I gave credit to. You are just confused, and stupid. A typical right wing turd.

Democrats moved right? Do liberals believe any of the shit they post?

Obama is not very Liberal. He's pretty much a moderate Democrat.

Many of them do. But the hardcore partisans (conservatives too) don't really seem to. To them, it's just team sports.

I didn't say it was either, Immie.

Have you read any liberal posts? No? Didn't think so.

Let me correct that, because we are not talking about the moderates on either side and you would be one of those, but if you read the extremes the "progressives" are 20 times worse than the "neo-cons" and the neos are very bad, but they don't come close to the ones on the left.

WTF are you talking about?

 

[Pogo]

The onus is on ME to prove YOUR theory because you forgot to justify it.

My OPINION is based on your posts.

You claim, it is a misinterpretation of the real Pogo. So yes, the onus is upon you to prove your contention.

Yet another what they call "epic fail" from the Master of Ipse Dixit. No link, no quote, no evidence no nuttin'.

Good to know there are some things we can always count on.

You're a joke.

LOL

So, you think that excessive use of smilies makes up for your utter lack of content?

The lack of content is entirely yours. I didn't make a claim; you did. And then after two days of challenge to come up with examples to back it up, you failed to find even a single one. That makes you dishonest.

But certainly not a Liberal.

Of course not.

Does that mean that they will stop spreading lies?

Of course not.

You call yourself "Old Fogey" and you don't know that is true?

This platform is NOT the Democratic Party platform...

Excerpt from:
Republican Party Platform of 1956
August 20, 1956


Our Government was created by the people for all the people, and it must serve no less a purpose.

The Republican Party was formed 100 years ago to preserve the Nation's devotion to these ideals.

On its Centennial, the Republican Party again calls to the minds of all Americans the great truth first spoken by Abraham Lincoln: "The legitimate object of Government is to do for a community of people whatever they need to have done but cannot do at all, or cannot so well do, for themselves in their separate and individual capacities. But in all that people can individually do as well for themselves, Government ought not to interfere."

Our great President Dwight D. Eisenhower has counseled us further: "In all those things which deal with people, be liberal, be human. In all those things which deal with people's money, or their economy, or their form of government, be conservative.

"We shall ever build anew, that our children and their children, without distinction because of race, creed or color, may know the blessings of our free land.

We are proud of and shall continue our far-reaching and sound advances in matters of basic human needs-expansion of social security-broadened coverage in unemployment insurance - improved housing- and better health protection for all our people. We are determined that our government remain warmly responsive to the urgent social and economic problems of our people.

Labor
"Under the Republican Administration, as our country has prospered, so have its people. This is as it should be, for as President Eisenhower said: "Labor is the United States. The men and women, who with their minds, their hearts and hands, create the wealth that is shared in this country...they are America."

The Eisenhower Administration has brought to our people the highest employment, the highest wages and the highest standard of living ever enjoyed by any nation. Today there are nearly 67 million men and women at work in the United States, 4 million more than in 1952. Wages have increased substantially over the past 3 1/2 years; but, more important, the American wage earner today can buy more than ever before for himself and his family because his pay check has not been eaten away by rising taxes and soaring prices.

The record of performance of the Republican Administration on behalf of our working men and women goes still further. The Federal minimum wage has been raised for more than 2 million workers. Social Security has been extended to an additional 10 million workers and the benefits raised for 6 1/2 million. The protection of unemployment insurance has been brought to 4 million additional workers. There have been increased workmen's compensation benefits for longshoremen and harbor workers, increased retirement benefits for railroad employees, and wage increases and improved welfare and pension plans for federal employees.

In addition, the Eisenhower Administration has enforced more vigorously and effectively than ever before, the laws which protect the working standards of our people.

Workers have benefited by the progress which has been made in carrying out the programs and principles set forth in the 1952 Republican platform. All workers have gained and unions have grown in strength and responsibility, and have increased their membership by 2 millions.

Furthermore, the process of free collective bargaining has been strengthened by the insistence of this Administration that labor and management settle their differences at the bargaining table without the intervention of the Government. This policy has brought to our country an unprecedented period of labor-management peace and understanding...

Republican action created the Department of Health, Education and Welfare as the first new Federal department in 40 years, to raise the continuing consideration of these problems for the first time to the highest council of Government, the President's Cabinet.... We have supported the distribution of free vaccine to protect millions of children against dreaded polio.

Republican leadership has enlarged Federal assistance for construction of hospitals, emphasizing low-cost care of chronic diseases and the special problems of older persons, and increased Federal aid for medical care of the needy.

We have asked the largest increase in research funds ever sought in one year to intensify attacks on cancer, mental illness, heart disease and other dread diseases."

Equality, rightly understood as our founding fathers understood it, leads to liberty and to the emancipation of creative differences; wrongly understood, as it has been so tragically in our time, it leads first to conformity and then to despotism.

Republicans have moved so far to the right from what they used to be that they are pretty much a right wing party now.

The Democrats haven't changed much and Obama is very moderate but the Republicans won't recognize that because of how far right they have moved.

 

[editec]

Nobody familiar with the REPUBLICAN PARTY of the 1950s is going deny that the GOP has moved from a formerly nationalistic party to the extremer edges of what is clearly becoming an ANTI-NATIONALIST party.

That's welcome news if true, though it seems the 'jury is still out' on that one. Nationalism and the neo-con ethic are still pretty ingrained in the party hierarchy. We'll have to see how it pans out I guess.

We create so much confusion for ourselves when we try to force real phenomena into our abstract mappings. Left/right doesn't fit what's going on. The Republicans haven't moved 'right' (I challenge anyone to even explain, coherently, what that even means). And the Democrats have changed - Obama is anything but 'moderate'. But, as police-state corporatist, he's clearly no progressive dreamboat.

The anti-authoritarian backlash currently driving the libertarian wing of the Republican party is particularly problematic for those who want to see everything in terms of left and right. They're dismissed as liberal hippies by old guard conservatives, and as 'hard-right' conservatives by the liberal establishment. Neither is accurate, of course, but some people simply won't let go of the one-dimensional left/right spectrum.

In many ways, it seems the primary political axis in US politics is turning ninety degrees, toward a new mapping that prompts alliances between progressives and libertarians in opposing the Pelosi/Boehner (authoritarian) wing of the Republicrat establishment. I read that Juiian Assange has stated that the only hope for reforming US policy is the libertarian wing of the GOP. That ought to tell us something weird is going on with our political alignments.

See the meme "Republicans have moved to the right" is an example not only of the pathetic brainwashing of today's progressives...its shows how poorly educated they are and how clueless of history.

QFT
There are a great many issues. No one party holds the right answer for everyone for every issue. Each issue could be seen as a pivot point and/or litmus test. One party has leaders that discriminate against whites, rich, and individualists... the other has leaders that discriminate against gays and socialists.
