Some, (and "Yes", there are members right here on the forum), that use the Libertarian agenda as a defense to "throw stones with no sin on their soul"...The Real McCoy said:Most political ideologies have their stereotypes.
Republicans are the racist, flag waving, Bible thumping hicks or greedy, Wall Street loving, SUV driving fat cats.
Democrats are the tax raising, enemy appeasing, gun fearing, bleeding heart wussies.
Greens are the tree hugging, cheesy car driving, dope toking hippies.
Socialists and Communists are the Godless, scatterbrained, history ignoring nutjobs.
So I ask, what are libertarians? Are we so superior and ideologically flawless that no negative stereotype can portray us? :2wave:

In a two party system, it's so easy to claim that you're neither while attacking everyone from the sidelines claiming total innocence...That IS their only agenda...
Many are and aren't, though they have more of a tendency to be more racist than us "lefties".Republicans are the racist
Many people wave flags, though most wave them blindly, most others also do this.flag waving
I'll agree with this.Bible thumping hicks
Everyone is "greedy" to some extent.greedy
Most Republicans I have seen have a large distrust of corporations, the part though is that somehow by freeing up restrictions that will limit their power. But they probably see corporations as a form of a state, which we lefties worship.Wall Street loving
Most people don't drive SUVs.SUV driving
Relatively few are rich, so therefore I find it hard such a large group of people are all "rich".fat cats
Many dems. want taxes raised, probably part of the reason is that taxes today are relatively low compared with fifty-years ago.tax raising
Enemy appeasing???????enemy appeasing
I fear guns.gun fearing
Sometimes.bleeding heart wussies
Maybe because they actually care for environment.Greens are the tree hugging
????????cheesy car driving
Is this all people think of hippies? Hippies are much more than drug users, many are, many aren't.dope toking hippies
You are probably referring to the Marxist sects of both, not all socialists and commies are Marxists, some can actually be utopian, and fanaticaly religous. And the reason too is that the basis of how Marxist ideas were theorised was from materialism.Socialists and Communists are the Godless
Who's scatterbrained?scatterbrained
Utopian ones are. Marxists look at history differently from a "historical materialist" view. Which is different than most ways people look at history. Most people look at history as events, dates, places, specific individuals. A Marxist looks at history of how past societies operated, changed, and why something happens, and how we achieved society as today.history ignoring

They don't like the party they were originally attached to because of the people currently in the party, but you can rest assure that if the people they wanted to be in power for that party rose to that, they would switch back to that party quicker than a Catholic girl going down at her first kegger...

I started this thread awhile ago which deals with stereotypes and generalizations if you (or anyone) feels like taking a look...:2wave:The Real McCoy said:To those of you who took the time to disassemble those stereotypes line by line, that was totally unnecessary. I'm 100% aware that not nearly everybody fits in to those categories. that's why they're STEREOTYPES. This wasn't supposed to be taken seriously. Perhaps it's my fault for not putting this in the "On the lighter side" forum.
