Well, the trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, but that they know so much that isn't so.And we all know that's the truth.

Gosh, you're not bright.Your victimhood fantasies bear no resemblance to reality.
I used to post on LA-IMC a few years ago. I told one leftist that I didn't agree with what he said, but that I would give my life to defend his right to say it. I asked him if he would do the same for me.
His response?
"Hell, no! Why would I want to defend your rights, you fucking fascist?!"
And you judge all liberals on one person on the internet? This explains a lot about your ignorance of liberals.
I didn't say anything about liberals. I was talking about leftists. There is a huge difference.
Liberals can be reasonable. Leftists cannot.
It's funny when leftists make such grand pronouncements when they, like the idiot OP, couldn't pick conservatism out of a lineup.
So it's your position that every conserveative thinks exactly alike on every issue, is it?
I think you're wrong about that.
I think there are many many issues where conservatives do not agree.
There's the FAITH BASED fundamentalist conservatives who want to insinuate their religion into our laws.
There's the LIBERTARIAN ATHETIST conservatves who object strenusously with the FAITH BASED cons.
There's big international trade conservatives who love FREE TRADE.
There's American Firsters Cons who absolutely HATE Free TRADE.
There's CONS who want to legalize marijuna, and there's CONS who want to hang all dopers.
Shall I go on, Dave?
Or do you think I'm wrong about the differences I just noted within the conservative community?
I've never said "every" issue. But since the Republican Party is 90% white and filled with malice towards so many, I think it's safe to say "on most", not "every", but "most".
Feel better? I never said "every", I've always said most. And we all know that's the truth.
Leftists are not right-wing liberals.Gosh, you're not bright.And you judge all liberals on one person on the internet? This explains a lot about your ignorance of liberals.

Can't leftists even attempt to make an argument without re-defining words?

If they could just get us all to understand their message with their definition of terms, the world would be practically perfect and we'd all want Obama to be a three-term president.
Conservatives are always complaining that liberals have them all wrong. They will say they are the party of "moderate spending" even though it's under Republican presidents the deficit has exploded. And we can point to what the money is spent on. Things like Iraq and huge tax cuts for the wealthy. What have Democratic presidents spent money on? Republicans will say they give it away to poor people.
Conservatives insist they are for "individual freedom" and work tirelessly to limit women's rights, gay's rights and end anything "anti discrimination".
When I ask Conservatives to explain their position, it's never clear. Their answers are things like "make better" and "go back to when it was better" and "bring God back".
So, this is THIS liberals view of what it means to be a conservative:
Tax cuts for the wealthy because they make jobs.
Morals MUST be legislated. Otherwise, people will run crazy and have sex everywhere if not stopped.
Science must be "balanced" with God.
We need to return to a better time when blacks knew their place, women were in the kitchen, and gays were in the closet.
Stop trying to rebuild America. If a bridge is needed, let the locals build it.
We don't need health care. We have prayer and can go visit a doctor at last resort.
We don't need "facts". People are over-educated. Just use common sense.
Democracy is good as long as it doesn't interfere with our Christian Values. Then we may need to "tweak" it.
We need to "return" to basics in education (I can never figure out what that means. Our scientists are coming from somewhere. They didn't all get a private education.)
I just wish conservatives would explain to me where "education" and "science" fits into their philosophy. What does it mean to the right to be a conservative? Unless I nailed it.

Leftists are on the far left end of the political spectrum. Liberals are closer to the middle.
