Why do people hate Liberals?

Their economic theory's are destructive.

I don't see there is any evidence of that at a theoertical level.

Of course you don't. You're a liberal.

Some of the world's most succesful governments have been liberal.

Horseshit.

In fact, I think you'd struggle to mount a case that conservatives have a better economi record in government that liberals. In any country.

Not a bit.

 

[bripat9643]

I think one fact we can all agree on is that liberals are all giant gas bags. Almost everything they believe is horseshit, especially when it comes to what they believe about themselves.

A liberal is willing to recognize that there are many areas in life where there is neither right nor wrong, just a range of choices, choices which will not solve the whole of the problems, and are not good or bad, but more effective or less effective. This does not set well with conservatives, who prefer definate right and wrong.

Also, liberals accept reality far better than conservatives. They do not try to bend the real world into "the way things ought to be". That is why 'Conservatives' deny the science of AGW, in spite of all the evidence of a warming world around them, and the solid science behind the reason why. And when a major poltical party embraces this lack of recognition of reality, as the GOP has, there is no way that I can vote for them.

I am judging from what I have seen in nearly 70 years of life.

70 year old morons are just as stupid as 30 year old morons.

Now Mathew, you really think that the economic theories that resulted in the First Great Republican Depression were not destructive? And that the deconstruction of the regulations that were put into place because of that Depression, leading up to October, 2008, and a very near brush with the Second Great Republican Depression, were not destuctive?

The Federal Reserve caused the panic of 1929, and then Roosevelt's economic policies extended a sharp but short recession into a depression. Pretty much the same thing happened in 2008. Only morons blame low taxes and deregulation for the depression.

Now Pattycake, as much as you would like to rewrite history, you cannot. FDR is considered on the Great Presidents. As is Lincoln. And the Confederacy lost the Civil War and is just another sad chapter in man's attempt to justify the unjustifiable.

And also the extraordinary steps used to make such things happen.

Marxism is not Liberalism, any more so than Fascism is Conservatism.

LOL. Now Pattycake is foaming at the mouth.

It is really hard for me to believe that any adult believes this.

 

[Saigon]

The fact is, liberalism is a parasitic culture that wants to feed off the success of others.
.

That is not a fact.

Nor is it even a particularly credible theory.

It's just exactly the kind of sweeping generalisation that to me bears no contact with reality.

Most history is bullshit written by the victors or by the omnipotent state. The propaganda of today will become the history of tomorrow, and morons like you will be telling people they are stupid if they don't believe it.

Liberals are just as black and white, right and wrong on issues as cons are. Dont kid yourself into thinking that liberals are any more or less flexible.

In everyday life I agree with you - but I think it's clear that on THIS board, there is far more abuse and wild generalisations made by conservatives about liberals than the other way around.

I'd say it is a ration of about 10:1.

That's because you're a liberal.

 

[Saigon]

We see through the hypocrisy and mindcontrolling nanipulative pile of leftist garbage for what it is and the fact of the architects being the only beneficiary of such socialist politics.

Who is talking about socialism?

This thread is about liberals.

Actually, no, I'm not.

I have voted for 4 different parties in the past 4 elections, and have never in my life called myself a liberal.

It's just the usual catch-all abuse that I am talking about, really. It's like any cliche will do, as long as it is in some way negative.

Got anything other than an insult to contradict my assertion???

No you don't....

One liners and playground insults just make you look stupid...

May 2012 is your join date..... just saying.


As with everything the board swings... when i joined it was the other way round. So who is making wild generalizations?

If you are asking in particular about why liberals are hated on this board.... again...ill give you liesmatters as a start as basis of foundation......

Make no mistake... there are rabid hacks on both sides here on this site.

Syrenn -

One of my strongest impressions on arriving here was the incredible amount of abuse and oneliners thrown around about liberalism as a concept.

Of course, things may have been different in earlier times, and may change again.

I totally agree left wing posters fall into the same cliched traps, but all I can say is that since I have been here, my impression is that it is conservatives who are far, far more likely to get into the most childish level of 'marxist-this' and 'socialist-that'.

Then you need to look a bit harder for the liberal hacks and the antics they get up to.

Misconceptions about liberalism?

I suppose I can agree with that considering most will use the word "liberal" to describe a bunch of fascists...

What are you talking about?

It is this kind of cliche-a-go-go posting that drives me nuts!

Is no post complete unless it has the words 'Marxist' 'Leftist' or 'Fascist' in it - and ideally used wrongly?
