This was your quote from the thread "Another Liberal Myth Exploded"
Liberal rhetoric is rooted in hate and envy, that won't end well for them.
Liberal speech and writing is rooted in hope for change, change for the better by pragmatic men and women of good will. Our system of governance is far from perfect, and biases and fears prevent the change necessary if we are to avoid becoming a Plutocratic Dystopia.
Calling liberals envious is one more example of a parrot posting a meme without thought and without a shred of evidence to support this believe (I wonder if those who parrot this meme every put any thought into what they post).
You claim liberals, by your definition, aren't envious. Yet, from the rhetoric, anyone who earns millions of dollars through fair business are manipulative and unsympathetic with the plight of the poor. Anyone who encourages "prosperity" are vilified by said liberals.
Anyone who wants to take someone off of food stamps or welfare and give them a paying job are accused of being unsympathetic to the poor. There are union backed protests demanding $15/hr minimum wages from fast food restaurants, and yet you accused Blues of posting up twisted memes. The one percent versus the 99 percent punchline comes to mind.
There is consistent braying over how Republicans favor the rich and Democrats favor the poor. I was hoping you could address that particular statement. How do Republicans favor the rich? How do Democrats favor the poor? How are Republicans unsympathetic to the poor?
Your insistence on liberals not being envious can be debunked by the support of "a level playing field" or the promotion of inclusion over performance or feeling over competition or outrightly discouraging competition altogether.
In what way does this not reflect envy?
You insisted that "Liberal speech and writing is rooted in hope for change, change for the better by pragmatic men and women of good will," but simply by the insistence of liberal Democrats, they are the only pragmatic men and women of good will. By what good will do you enable apathy among millions of Americans by not encouraging a poor family to strive for a job instead of living off a meager government paycheck each month?
What hope is there in letting them strive for nothing more than government assistance?
What change does this constant flow of government assistance effect?
Defend yourself.

The incoherence of a conservative's brain is really so damned basic sometimes.
How can a thinking person not have the ability to seperate "wealth gap too large = bad future for country" with "wealth envy."
The two can be and typically ARE mutually exclusive ideas.
The "you envy the rich" meme is the toddler's way of avoiding the issue and pretending the onus and unintelligence is on the other party, whereas the mere COMMENT proves that theyre really very lost on the issue because they cant seperate those two ideas in their mind.....so therefore in their mind.....concern with the wealth gap is equivalent to envying the rich.
I hate to say this but its a long standing pattern, man. Conservatives seem to be very surface level thinkers who are not bright enough at all to do nuance. They cannot understand it, its a mental block of some sort
And gob job about my views all you want to, but im not a liberal, either.
You guys having fun with your little circle jerk. I'll debate an issue with anyone on the right. An issue, not a talking point.

Where did I go? I left, simply because you publicly stated you wouldn't debate "talking points." That was basically a forfeit.

LOL, you really are a POS. Post the actual thread and post where this quote, if it is, came from. It was not in the thread you ran away from.
