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.
Meanwhile we have threads where Liberals on this board called republicans and tea party members terrorists. Traitors murderers and mentally incompetent. I can't count how many times the left on this board has posted threads claiming Conservatives are mental defectives, mental disorders or insane. I can't count how many times the term terrorist has been used by Liberals on this board to describe Tea party and Conservatives. All with out a single source to back the claim.
Every time there is a high profile shooting the left in the media and this board and the DNC all announce gleefully that it was done by a member of the Tea party or a conservative. And every time they are wrong.
Asking for positive Id to vote is labeled a trick to deny voting rights, or claimed to be a poll tax. How many threads have we had where it is claimed the right stole elections and in the same breath statements that voter fraud doesn't happen so no need for ID. Explain again how the right supposedly stole a National election twice if there was no voter fraud. Ohh and provide evidence any election was actually stolen.
You sure we are on the same board?
LOL. Naw, not all of those things. Just mentally incompetant will do. As applied to 'Conservatives', not conservatives.
