Why do people hate Liberals?

[Dutch]

Conservatives will be satisfied if we return to the economic standards of the 1890's. And as they and their children and grandchildren head off to work for 2.50 an hour at some sweatshop with no health and safety standards, they will look up to their robber baron bosses and insist that if they work hard enough that will be them someday.

I remain amazed at how many people feel hate to begin with.

Pretty low standards for such a strong emotion.

That is not true at all and you know it.
No one wants go back to that type of shit nor does Conservatives want everyone drinking dirty water.
We want some common sense back in our government.
Our three largest entitlement programs really need to be reformed and waste, fraud and abuse needs to be eliminated.

I don't hate liberals, I feel sorry for them. Their genetic defect has been sceintifically proven. All liberals have a defective gene known as DRD 4 (look it up). It blocks rational logical thought from being processed by their brains. We can only hope that medical science will find a cure, but alas, under obamacare that is not possible, but fear not, illegals will get free medical care.

What gene makes nutballs so hilariously... nutty?
Is it the gene that rejects science in favor of creationism?

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

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

Kennedy had no problem with helping those who need help

How long do people get help?

1 year.
2 years.
3 or more years....
As long as they need it.
5 years then.
Maybe 10...

What the fuck...as long as we have those rich people we can let these folks stay on forever.

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.

Show US the tolerance of Conservatives among Liberals.

You're not liberals, you're leftists.

And it's all the forced labor camps, killing fields, mass graves, disappearances, etc. that make people hate you.

200 million peace time civilians butchered, and you're just getting started. That can make you unpopular at some parties....

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....

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

Yes is was ,but he also wanted reforms for those public welfare programs by helping them and getting them off the programs, by helping them to get back to work.

Being that conservatives are the minority, it's safe to say they're on the receiving end of more hate.

 

[francoHFW]

It's a typical reaction of ignorant haters to being shown they're WRONG. lol

Sorry Conservative and Moderates are the majority.
Conservatives Remain the Largest Ideological Group in U.S.

 

[francoHFW]

And moderates are mainly Dems. You lost.

 

[thereisnospoon]

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

Fuck that. Our freedoms and liberties are ordained by God. Not by men. And certainly not by government.
We are "given" rights? Hell no. We have them from the day we are born.
Now, a little education. Classical liberalism of the past bears ZERO resemblance to the liberalism of today.
Modern liberalism is socialism. It opposes liberty. It seeks to grow government. It supports central planning. It seeks to equalize outcome, influence behavior and limit speech by punitive taxation.
Liberals abhor the individual. Liberalism herds people into groups the pits those groups against each other.

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.

I couldn't believe the OP was that ridiculous, I thought it was sarcasm or something.

Liberals are the most narrow minded, mean, hateful political cretins alive. If you can not see the slander, lies and venom that spews from the left it has to be because you are a liberal, and agree with it.

Now the bed wetters might be outnumbered on this forum, and they are pretty much everywhere except san fransicko so they get it more in volume, but I haven't been here a week and I've already had a bed wetter imply that myself and some fellow 2A supporters were sociopathic killers, and would follow hitler.

If that isn't a hateful attack I don't know what is, but I can give it just as well as I can take it, and the libs have earned every bit of my contempt.

 

[thereisnospoon]

No one is discussing political parties here. This thread is about ideology.
Get with the program, sparky.
Moderates are called moderates because they are not liberals.
Moderates tend to be socially left leaning but fiscally conservative.
A typical moderate does not vote a straight party ticket. Moderates are led by what is popular. They sit on the fence. Moderates are unpredictable.
So for you to claim they vote in lockstep with democrats is disingenuous.

 

[JimBowie1958]

And moderates are mainly Dems. You lost.

Self described moderates are not mainly Dems, iirc.

They are mostly independents.

Yeah, right alongside the liberals who will be passing more racial eugenics laws and justifying the slaughter of third world people if it gets in the way of their progressive agenda.

Liberals on Twitter issue hate, death wishes for Supreme Court justices​

March 26, 2013
By: Joe Newby

On Tuesday, liberal supporters of gay marriage issued a variety of hateful, profane tweets targeting conservative Supreme Court Justices in the event they rule against same-sex marriage, Twitchy reported.

"If Prop 8 and DOMA are upheld by SCOTUS, we need to have some gay rioting in the streets," tweeted "Robin."

One Twitter user sent a profane tweet with two words repeated over and over: "F**k Scalia."

Another threatened to "discriminate against every f*****g straight a*****e against SSM."

A number of the messages called for the deaths of the more conservative members of the Court.

"So... can Scalia die already?" one person asked.

"Now if only Scalia would die so we could replace the idiot," another said in response to a tweet by Seth MacFarlane.

" hope scalia and thomas get heart attacks and die right as theyre abt to dissent on gay marriage (sic)," tweeted "miguel de cervantes."

"So I hate the Supreme Court, and have said many times that I'm going to bake a f*****g celebration cake when Scalia dies/resigns," added "Tiffany Criswell."
