Conservatives VS Liberals. How accurate are these to you guys?

If a conservative doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one.
If a liberal doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.

If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat.
If a liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.

If a conservative is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.
If a liberal is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.

If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.
A liberal wonders who is going to take care of him.

If a conservative doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels.
If a liberal doesn't like a talk show host he demands the show be shut down.

If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church.
A liberal non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced.




So what do you guys think of these? Accurate? Innacurate? Why are they accurate or innacurate?

they are inaccurate because they imply that ALL Liberals and Conservatives adhere to these statements and that is false.....they do not....

Don't be such a buzz kill.

Lighten up Francis. :eusa_angel:
 
If a conservative isn't gay he wants gay marriage outlawed. sadly some do.

If a conservative is a christian, he wants government to endorse christianity. vs Mayan gods? damn right.

If a conservative wants war, he wants government to do it immediately and tax our brains out accordingly. 65% of all American war were started by a (D)

If a conservative doesn't do drugs, he wants trillions of huge taxpayer dollars spent to make sure others don't. not so much anymore.

If a conservative doesn't cuss, he wants every word in all media regulated to make sure no one else hears it or can say it. maners is not something Hollywood cares about, so they brought it upon themselves.

That being said, I agree with your points on liberals, just conservatives do the EXACT same thing with other issues. You guys have the same principles really.
How's that sound?

Sounds about right.:lol:

1.) I agree on the war part, both sides are pro-war for the most part.

2.) Yes that is the case, republicans want the plants you grow in your yard regulated and a harmless thing you do in your bedroom regulated. Disclaimer; not saying weed isn't unhealthy, I'm saying person A smoking it doesn't hurt person B.

3.) I hope the Hollywood line is a joke and I just didn't get it. That's what remotes and volume control are for.
 
Wow some people are missing the point of this thread by a mile and making themselves look foolish and partisan in the process.

Well it's a good thing the OP isn't partisan!

Did you read the end of the OP where I asked specific questions...the ones you ignored when you made your blindly partisan response?
Yes, the OP is filled with blindly partisan stereotypes. adding question marks at the end doesn't make it any less blindly partisan of an email chainletter

This is an email. I get it 2-3 times a year.

Am I the only other one that knows this?

well, this is a short version of it.

Yeah, it's been posted on here about a dozen times before. I'm impressed the troll brigade hasn't found this thread yet though, it usually gets ugly in a hurry.

Unless of course you count the OP for posting such obvious bait. :razz:

Ya gotta be a little dim to fall for it. :eusa_drool:

VERY INaccurate

guns; lots of libs and dems OWN guns. MOST liberals do NOT want guns banned
MOST liberals want gun education, saftey and regulation

meat: theree may be some leftist vegetarians who want meat banned but MOST liberals EAT meat and do NOT want it banned


homosexuals are merely demanding respect and acceptance....
they are NO MORE IN YOUR FACE about it t han....conservative christians...

in fact...homosexuals are LESS LIKELY to get in your face than CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIANS who just won't shut up about their religion and trying to get it established as THE RELIGION of the USA

talk show hosts; (you sure do lie alot...do ALL cons lie like you?)
the truth; some liberals have made attempts to rid the air waves of conservative hate mongers like l imbaugh and savage

MOST liberals DO JUST CHANGE THE CHANNEL!
I know I do (now)

and to say that cons just change the channel when they hear a liberal talk show host is another lie.

MANY cons get angry at liberal talk show hosts and work very hard to get them silenced....


religion; the problem with you is you're just another deranged c onservative who has everfything all mixed up...
consequently...you end up lying...

most liberals ARE religious
FEW LIBERALS are trying to BAN religion
MOST liberals are merely trying to keep CONSERVATIVES CHRISTIANS from FORCING THEIR RELIGION in our schools and in our government.

your representation is VERY false
you lie

The Conservative Nanny State
 
If a conservative doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one.

Not me. And I'm liberal and Obama expanded gun laws more than any president in decades.

If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat.
If a liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.

'scuse me, I'm eating a hamburger.

If a conservative is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.
If a liberal is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.

Unless he is quietly leading his life in a stall at the local airport.

If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.
A liberal wonders who is going to take care of him.

I was on welfare and food stamps. Did anyone help me? No. Craig T. Nelson to Glenn Beck.

If a conservative doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels.
If a liberal doesn't like a talk show host he demands the show be shut down.

Liberals merely ask for honesty and truth backed by facts. Not "magical creation". Uh, I forget. Do you guys still believe Obama took a 200 million dollar a day trip?

If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church.
A liberal non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced.

Liberals don't want their kids indoctrinated. Conservatives don't give a shit what liberal parents want. They have children to "save".


So what do you guys think of these? Accurate? Innacurate? Why are they accurate or innacurate?

Complaints over gun law Obama expanded follow Obama on tour - msnbc.com

Right wingers won't disagree, but they will call you names.
 
Right wingers won't disagree, but they will call you names.

They're not smart enough to know anything but name calling.


Sounds like a great idea but let's be clear on the separation of goods.

We = Liberals You = Conservatives

We get stem cell research. You get blood letting, prayer cures, and snakes.

We get Harvard, MIT, and Berkley. You get home schooled and Bob Jones.

We get fun, Frisbees, kites, beach balls. You get oily seagulls.

We get electric cars, bio diesel and hybrids. You get holes in your backyard.

We get clean open spaces. You get smog.

We get clean rivers. You get pollution.

We get planned parenthood. You get trailer parks as far as the eye can see.

We get law. You get the Klan.

We get regulated markets. You get robbed.

We get religious freedom. You get bedroom inspectors and pillories.

We get symphony orchestras. You keep your tin cans and saws.

We get New England wages. You get Mississippi wages.

We get indoor plumbing. You get poison ivy.

We get homes. You keep your trailers.

I won't be partisan about this, but address the issue embodied by your statements. I think we can all agree that generalizations are harmful, and made by both conservatives and liberals about one another. Neither ideology is flawless, and neither is evil, and neither should be judged by the most extreme views of their subscribers. In terms of forcing others to conform to your morality, I think that is a delicate issue as such things are hard to define, but are fundamental elements of a culture. Some things (gun control for one) are a matter of public safety, and must be regulated by the government. Others (gay marriage is an example of this) are more a matter of personal beliefs, and therefore should be regulated by smaller legislative bodies like state governments so as to fully encompass the views of the people.
