Why do people hate Liberals?

[thereisnospoon]

Jesus was a liberal

Nobody hates Jesus

Wanna bet?
Christianity is vilified by the left as an oppressive religion.

FUNDAMENTALIST christianity and reactionary catholicism, dingbat.

Right....Try that shit with someone else.
In liberal circles it is perfectly acceptable to insult, make fun of and impugn Christians.
Ass fucker

So you haven't answered the question:

Where do modern liberals derive their philosophies from? (The answer is obviously NOT John Locke, a classical liberal)

Answered throughtout the thread

Mine is ....Truth, Justice and the American Way

Truth? obama has not told the truth about anything in his entire political career, neither has Reid, Pelosi, Maher, Sharpton, Ayers, or any of the other liberals

Justice? Social justice? taking from someone who earned it and giving it to someone who did nothing but vote for obama---------that justice?

The american way? when did marxism become the american way? when did high taxation become the american way? when did millions on food stamps become the american way? when did high unemployment and huge national debt become the american way?

Liberalism is destroying our economy and our culture every day, and half of the population does not give a shit as long as their govt cheese comes every month.

Yes, my friend.....Liberals

Defenders of freedom
Protectors of the innocent
Enemy of those who plan to do harm to our country

Truth, Justice....and the American Way

 

[rightwinger]

The Statue of Liberty

A gift from liberal France to liberal America

Enjoy your Liberty? Thank a Liberal

 

[Billo_Really]

I'm a liberal and nobody hates me.

Liberals are the ones doing harm to our contry. Keeping the poor in poverty and bringing the middle class down by taking taxes from them, to bring up the status of the poor.

See the brainwashed haters go batshit when confronted with facts. Yes 750k bankruptcies due to medical care- and 2/3- 3/4 HAVE INSURANCE. That's your GOP scam of a health system. Change the channel and get some reality. Better yet, read a book fer chrissake.

The Demise of the American Middle Class In Numbers.
Filed under Economics no comments
The Demise of the American Middle Class In Numbers.

Over the past 60 years the American dream has gradually disappeared. The process was slow, so most people didn’t notice. They just worked a few more hours, borrowed a little more and cut back on non-essentials. But looking at the numbers and comparing them over long time periods, it is obvious that things have changed drastically. Here are the details:

1. WORKERS PRODUCE MORE BUT THE GAINS GO TO BUSINESS.

Over the past 63 years worker productivity has grown by 2.0% per year.

But after 1980, workers received a smaller share every year. Labor’s share of income (1992 = 100%):

1950 = 101%
1960 = 105%
1970 = 105%
1980 = 105% – Reagan
1990 = 100%
2000 = 96%
2007 = 92%

A 13% drop since 1980

2. THE TOP 10% GET A LARGER SHARE.

Share of National Income going to Top 10%:

1950 = 35%
1960 = 34%
1970 = 34%
1980 = 34% – Reagan
1990 = 40%
2000 = 47%
2007 = 50%

An increase of 16% since Reagan.

3. WORKERS COMPENSATED FOR THE LOSS OF INCOME BY SPENDING THEIR SAVINGS.

The savings Rose up to Reagan and fell during and after.

1950 = 6.0%
1960 = 7.0%
1970 = 8.5%
1980 = 10.0% – Reagan
1982 = 11.2% – Peak
1990 = 7.0%
2000 = 2.0%
2006 = -1.1% (Negative = withdrawing from savings)

A 12.3% drop after Reagan.

4. WORKERS ALSO BORROWED TO MAKE UP FOR THE LOSS.

Household Debt as percentage of GDP:

1965 = 46%
1970 = 45%
1980 = 50% – Reagan
1990 = 61%
2000 = 69%
2007 = 95%

A 45% increase after 1980.

5. SO THE GAP BETWEEN THE RICHEST AND THE POOREST HAS GROWN.

Gap Between the Share of Capital Income earned by the top 1%
and the bottom 80%:

1980 = 10%
2003 = 56%

A 5.6 times increase.

6. AND THE AMERICAN DREAM IS GONE.

The Probably of Moving Up from the Bottom 40% to the Top 40%:

1945 = 12%
1958 = 6%
1990 = 3%
2000 = 2%

A 10% Decrease.

Yes, my friend.....Liberals

Defenders of freedom
Protectors of the innocent
Enemy of those who plan to do harm to our country

Truth, Justice....and the American Way

As long as that freedom is liberal and not conservative
As long as the innocent are born, but not the unborn innocent fetus.
Liberals are the ones doing harm to our contry. Keeping the poor in poverty and bringing the middle class down by taking taxes from them, to bring up the status of the poor.

Liberals founded this country and have given you the freedoms you enjoy

Feel free to thank them

I am all for John F. Kennedy . "ask not what your country could do for you...." liberal, the liberal today? no way in hell....

Social Liberals no way. These are the ones I am talking about.

All men are created equal was the biggest social legislation in history

It changed the world

 

[yidnar]

The one thing about this board that most baffles me is the incredible depth of hatred and contempt for liberals.

The amount of comments from people suggesting all liberals are stupid, anti-patriotic, dumb...you name it. One even suggested liberals don't know what paragraphs are.

I don't get it. And I don't see anything the like the contempt expressed by liberals towards conservatives.

Firstly, the term "liberal" could be used to describe about half of the planet. Like "leftist", it's a fairly cliched catch-all adjective that have little real meaning. It's just too general to be much use.

Secondly, I've met extremely intelligent people from right across the political spectrum - and as many idiots. I've talked to brilliant facists, idiotic conservatives, intelligent communists and brain-dead centrists. I don't see a pattern there at all.

And lastly, why hate liberals when many of the most successful and celebrated administrations have been liberal ones? Were the governments if Clinton, Wilson, FDR, JFK and Truman really so much worse than conservative governments of similar eras?

The constant attacks on liberals seems to me (as an outsider) just a sign of incredible arrogance and conceit - and I would consider attacks on conservatives the same way.

If there is a REAL reason, with facts, for hating liberals - let's hear about it.

we hate them because of shit like this !!

Ask not what your country can do for you was a call for public service not a condemnation of public welfare

People hate liberals because they hate LIARS. And that is exactly what liberals are. Sometimes they tell half truths, omit important facts in order to distort the narrative in their favor, or of course just outright lie.

Take the start of your own post for example:

The one thing about this board that most baffles me is the incredible depth of hatred and contempt for liberals.

I guess you're not baffled by any of the thousands of angry, hate filled posts by liberals directed toward us conservatives every day on this forum. Again distortion by omission.

So, thanks for demonstrating why people don't like liberals like you.

 

[tooAlive]

I see you're from Finland.

What's your definition of Liberal? Chances are we're not talking about the same ideologies.

 

[Redfish]

It was BOTH. you don't know much about Kennedy do you?

Kennedy had no problem with helping those who need help

neither do 99% of the people in this country. the key word being "need".

no one "needs" generational welfare. Yes, help those who really need help, those who cannot take care of themselves due to physical on mental problems. But if you are able bodied, take care of yourself, unless you like being a slave to the govt.

 

[whitehall]

The post is proof that liberals are nothing but whiners.
