It seems to me that many conservatives on this site seem to think they understand what Liberals think better than those whose beliefs they're discussing. They'll sometimes even tell you that you're wrong about what you believe. So I thought I'd put it to a poll. Who better understands what liberals think, and why?

i have to tell you, nobody understands what makes us liberals.It seems to me that many conservatives on this site seem to think they understand what Liberals think better than those whose beliefs they're discussing.

but what makes you a liberal is not what makes me a liberal........which is why no one knows how "libbos" think, despite their claims otherwise.I know what makes me a liberal. I know that it is nothing like what I am told us "libbos" think.
i believe that as well. in some cases, it's because they don't HAVE their own ideas. i do have respect for those who don't just parrot the party line.A lot of conservatives use the evangelical approach. They avoid discussing their own ideas, as it is much easier to just attack the ideas of others.
Conservatives in general have no desire to listen to the ideas from the other side.....if they make no attempt to listen, they will never understand....
You understand what you think better than anyone.It seems to me that many conservatives on this site seem to think they understand what Liberals think better than those whose beliefs they're discussing.

Now now... let them have their moment of self-righteousness...Liberals do the same thing to conservatives: "Oh they shouldn't like her with her slutty teenage pregnant daughter," "How Christian of you" .... etc. Same thing.
You understand what you think better than anyone.
Your thoughts may not be rational, consistent, supportable or sound, but you still understand them better than anyone.
No no -- you prove my point quite well!You are getting liberals confused with conservatives :2razz:
i have to tell you, nobody understands what makes us liberals.
except we seek the help of doctors instead of faith healers.Genetic flaw, pre-natal deficiencies, crimped umbilical at birth, unhealthy childhood environment, etc.
Liberals reserve their version of "faith healing" for global warming...except we seek the help of doctors instead of faith healers.

This thread turned stupid fast...

A better question would be to ask who really understands liberal ideology, since precious few on either side seem to have much of a grasp.
For the vast majority, what is liberal and what is conservative is not defined by actual ideology, but by simple labels. If a "liberal" expresses an opinion, that opinion is labelled liberal and a conservative likewise, until peopel are simply replicating memes instead of espousing an ideology.
