Why do people hate Liberals?

[AVG-JOE]

because their ideology trumps their common sense.

because they are genetically defective

because they lie

because they hate freedom

because they want to be slaves to the government

because they ignore the constitution

And the republicans wouldn't dare do what you mentioned above....

Too late, Bro'... All except for the genetically defective part - What is 'normal'?

Avg-joe; do you believe that most people will be better off under the trickle-up-poverty you support?

 

[Redfish]

As does, conservatism (also known as "fascism").

conservatives want small unintrusive government----the exact opposite of fascism.

you really don't know much about this do you?

Really? Then please explain the intrusiveness of conservatives (read: Republicans) into the bedrooms of Americans, women's bodies and their contents, and what people choose to do (like smoke pot)?????? Such hypocrisy.

Fascism (pron.: /ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a form of radical authoritarian nationalism[1][2] that came to prominence in mid-20th century Europe. Fascists seek to unify their nation through a totalitarian state(A "Christian" one??????) that promotes the mass mobilization of the national community,[3][4] relying on a vanguard party to initiate a revolution to organize the nation on fascist principles.[5] Hostile to democracy, liberalism, socialism, and communism, fascist movements share certain common features, including the veneration of the state, a devotion to a strong leader, and an emphasis on ultranationalism, ethnocentrism, and militarism. Fascism views political violence, war, and imperialism as a means to achieve national rejuvenation[3][6][7][8] and asserts that "superior" nations and races should attain living space by displacing weak and inferior ones.[9]



Sounds like the Republican Party to me.

being opposed to the murder of unborn children is neither conservative or liberal, it is a moral question not a political one.

most true conservatives would favor legalization of pot.

gay marriage is another moral rather than political issue------either you believe its wrong or you believe its OK.

you libs always try to mix politics with morals. anyone who does not share your morals is the enemy and is to be destroyed.

liberalism is a philosophy of hate and exclusion and slavery to the government and mind control. like liberalism? move to cuba or north korea.

And Trickle-down has worked SO well!

​

Are you claiming that the trickle-up-poverty of Stupid Fuck Economics that you Obamunists use are somehow better?

Yet you still promote trickle-up-poverty. Like the middle class should embrace their slide into oblivion.

How the fuck does poo-pooing Trickle-down economics translate into support of anything?

If you're interested in what I do advocate, it's fair and simple taxes, public budgets that are balanced by law, transparency in all things politics and major investing in education.

That's the politics that will build an economy that Monkeys can drive to the stars.

More leftist bullshit.

This board as a microcosm illustrates a group of conservative/libertarians who are substantially better educated than the leftists. Nearly every conservative here is a college graduate. Most of us have graduate degrees.

Now you of the left do have Truthmatters and Jakestarkey as your brain trust, but I'd still rate the education of the right quite a bit higher than that of the left.

A study funded by the US government has concluded that conservatism can be explained psychologically as a set of neuroses rooted in "fear and aggression, dogmatism and the intolerance of ambiguity".

...."This intolerance of ambiguity can lead people to cling to the familiar, to arrive at premature conclusions, and to impose simplistic cliches and stereotypes," the authors argue in the Psychological Bulletin.

Poo-pooing "trickle down economics" merely displays your lack of education and your partisanship.

"Trickle Down" is a straw man, a logical fallacy. It has no meaning in economics, and is purely a partisan term.

If you're interested in what I do advocate, it's fair and simple taxes, public budgets that are balanced by law, transparency in all things politics and major investing in education.

So, higher payments to public unions and a greater burden on the productive sector? Transparency? Obama is the least transparent president in history, yet you treat him as if he were a god.

A balanced budget would be nice, but again, Obama's trickle-up-poverty has added more debt than any other administration in history. And shows no signs of greater restraint, quite the opposite.

That's the politics that will build an economy that the Monkeys can drive to the stars.

Honestly, you demonstrate utterly no understanding of macro-economics. You toss out nonsense terms to demonstrate your hatred of your political opponents, but show no grasp at all of market mechanisms. I doubt you really have any understanding of what "supply side" means, or why Keynesians oppose it. I doubt you grasp that Keynesian theory is a proven, and utter failure. I doubt that you grasp that the failed policies of Nixon, Ford, and Carter are exactly what Obama advocates - despite a proven record of abysmal failure.

The heart of demagoguery, as Goebbels noted, is not to claim your opponent wrong, but to demand that he is mentally incompetent and a danger to society. When a demagogue speaks, he uses contrived authority to back claims of moral, mental, and physical perversion in the target of his demagoguery. The greatest effect can be gained through an appearance of authority. A man claiming that a Jew (conservative) is subhuman may excite (Nazi) party members, but will do little to sway the public. A university professor holding a study concocted by the party, has authority when he declare the Jew (conservative) to be defective and degenerate.

It's more about ideology than simply party. And yes, I want conservatives to stand up for their principles no matter what. You can call that pouting, whining, throwing temper tantrums or whatever you like. In case you haven't noticed, this country is going broke! And the liberal solution is to raise taxes and spend more which in effect will make us go broke at a faster rate. Conservatives want to cut spending and lower taxes which in turn will boost our economy.

Thank you for proving my point. One groups wants one thing, and won't budge on the issue, and the opposite group does the same. Get a clue, government is about compromise. Government is about bettering your society, for the whole, not a few elitists. But we have seemed to lose that notion. However, as long as we have the babies in Congress, that are so blinded by party hatred, we will continue to go down the toilet.

One example:
Obama and the dems tried to get legislation passed that would offer huge tax incentives for large corporations to bring their factories back home to America, to boost OUR economy, and the repubs shot it down.... hhhmmmm and the repubs want us to believe they have "us" in their best interest?

How do you come to the conclusion that governing is about compromise?

Do we compromise on the notion that people who murder other people should not be jailed?

Do we compromise on the notion that if we are attacked by another country, the perhaps we shouldn't fight back?

The fact is that for any country to survive, clear choices and hard decisions must be made. To compromise on those decisions is the path to ruin..

Witness the GOP. They have adopted a policy of compromise for the past 20 years. It has weakened us as a nation, it has brought our economy to the very brink of ruin, and our societal rot has increased almost exponentially.

Compromise? No thanks. You can have it.

Haven't seen the Republicans compromise on much of anything in the past 20 years. When a Democrat is President, the Republicans have clearly been against any sort of compromise or accommodation. They will even be against the very things they were for if a Democrat takes it up. "Compromise? No thanks. You can have it." I guess you must be ecstatic with the Republican party of the past decade or so.

And yet so many of you are so very uneducated.

But, then, I guess, that is America.

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.

Today's so called liberals do not believe in liberty they thrive on control.

Bill Ayers Fan Stages Fake Republican Rape Threat Against Herself to Protest Rape Culture

May 1, 2013 By Daniel Greenfield

Meg Lanker-Simons and husband.
(looks like liberal trailer trash)

Meg Lanker-Simons once fought to bring Bill Ayers to speak on campus, but I suspect the WU bigwig would be underwhelmed by the scope of her criminal ambition which consisted of faking a rape threat against herself from a Republican and then staging rallies to protest “Rape Culture”.

This was the scene on April 28 as hundreds gathered to denounce rape culture on the University of Wyoming campus. But the only rape culture that the rape culture gang could find was the one they manufactured.

I wasn't trying to disprove your point I just thought you had over simplified things.

I wouldn't compromise on my principles. Would you?

What specific legislation would that be?

I wasn't attacking you bro, just saying that you had further proved my point. As you stated, you wouldn't budge on your principles. That is exactly what is wrong with Congress. They simply won't budge. Being a Political Science major with a concentration in Law, I have learned very well, that government is about compromise. Not everyone will get exactly what they want, but that is the definition of compromise:
Compromise:
Noun:
An agreement or a settlement of a dispute that is reached by each side making concessions.

However, our politicians today are reluctant to heed to concessions, and that is pathetic. I have seen 9 year olds work out their problems better than the grown men in Congress.. kinda makes one wonder....

And to answer your question, yes I would compromise on my principles, if it was to better my country. I would not have the audacity to sit there, and say it's my way or the highway. It is not solely my country, and it is not only Congress's country. There are 300+ million people to consider, and if I have to compromise on some of my principles to better the lives of as many people as possible, you can bet your bottom dollar that I would do it. I however, am not selfish, and think more about other people than your average citizen.

Conservative principles are limited government, individual freedom, strong national defense, free enterprise and traditional American values.

I wouldn't compromise on any of these principles for the simple fact that these principles are better for this country.

How can you sit there and tell me conservatives want limited government, and individual freedom? If that were the case, then they would have no problem with woman getting abortions, gays being able to have the same basic rights as heterosexual couples, women making the same amount of money as her male counterpart, just to name a few. All of these clearly violate your argument that conservatives want limited government, and individual freedom. Telling a woman what she can and can't do, is directly violating individual freedom. The conservative party might have good ideals, but they practice the complete opposite. They do not like to practice what they preach, and it is evident to anyone who knows the way they vote. They are twisted. They say, "Ohh we want limited government. But we are gonna tell you what you can and can't do with your life." Do you see the irony?

The republicans just compromised on a $660 billion tax increase, asshole.

What have democrats ever compromised on?
