Why do conservatives hate LIBERALS ???

[jamesrage]

I posted this to explore the resentment conservatives feel toward "Liberals", so they can vent their frustrations and also so liberals can dispell the myths that echo among conservative communities.

You forgot to add "because liberals hate God,our military and are America hating scum."

This nation would not exist for you to **** on without "America hating scum" like:

Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Thomas Paine, John Adams, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, etc. - Obviously you know nothing of the history of America.

So, what qualify's you to be such a harsh critic of liberals and liberalism? What makes you think you're ideology is so much better? It appears you are the one that hates America.

 

[SixStringHero]

Those aforementioned people are not representative of what the liberal ideology is of today.

I already said it once and I'll say it again, extremes on both sides are out of touch with reality.

Conservatives and monarchs said the same thing about our Founding Fathers.

 

[wrath]

Conservatives and monarchs said the same thing about our Founding Fathers.

Yes, and consider what conditions made our founding fathers choose to fight for independence and compare them to today's standards. I expect or Founding Fathers would wonder what all the bitching is about.

This poll is obviously slanted to back conservatives into a corner....nice try though. I'm an independent with conservative leanings and cannot answer this poll because I do not hate liberals. My biggest problem with this new generation of liberalism is that every issue seems to be designed to provoke bitterness and venom for the sole purpose of further dividing our country. I could never sign on to or respect a platform like that.

That is your opinion. It can be argued that conservatives do the same. I suppose you, as an "independant with conservative leanings" are immune to folly?

 

[aquapub]

You left no option for conservatives to address the actual problem with liberals. (You know, the problems voters continue to have with liberals).

Let me try to spell it out for you.

Think back the last fifty years and tell me if you can find an example of a liberal siding with anyone but America's enemies.

They wreck our economy by keeping labor unions alive- who send jobs overseas by needlessly strong-arming companies into bankruptcy, by refusing to let any (even minor) reforms happen to reign in frivolous lawsuits (which are also wrecking the health care system), by increasing taxes, by protecting the enormously costly illegal immigrant flood coming over the Mexican border, by forcing companies to put race over competence.

Al Queda attacked us for eight years under Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter let the Soviet Union walk all over us and had us pandering to third world nobody's.

Their ideas (or total lack thereof lately) NEVER deal with the ACTUAL source of the problem.

This is just a taste of why mainstream people hate liberals.

They work against America's interests (our national interests, economically and otherwise) at every turn of the road.

So comfort yourselves by painting us as unreasonable for protesting your egregious flaws. The left's total incapacity to escape its adolescent, irrational trappings is exactly why nobody elects their hatemongers, racists, pseudo-intellectual snobs, or bleeding-heart socialists anymore.

As a conservative, who knows many other conservatives, I can say without reservation that none of us hate liberals - an option you didn't allow for in your poll.

One of "liberals" strengths is their social conscience and I agree with them on many social issues. I believe it is our responsibility to take care of those who are less fortunate, those in need, I just don't happen to believe the government should be the one who administers the care. We supposedly live in a free market society - let that free market provide education, health care, job training, what ever. People would truly have a "choice" and I think that many things would be done more efficiently for less money.

Do you really think liberals are hatemongers, and racist? That's the first time I've ever heard anyone refer to a liberal the way you have.

Rather than give me examples of posts you think are inappropriate from the past, in the future, if you have a problem with a post, click the "Report bad post" button in the lower left hand corner to alert the mods to the situation. Thank you very much.

No, that's OK. I wasn't trying to initiate any action. Just asking the question. But, you're right. That was a little over the top. I apologize to you and to cnredd. I'll take my beating like a man and get it behind me. This will definately not make my highlight reel. Your comments are always welcome.

Or how about Greenland?

Prolly nothing.

Ok.

Next topic.

Class is moving along quite fast

I think you're the reason conservatives hate liberals.

 

[KevinWan]

The REAL question that should be here is... Why do liberals hate conservatives?? They seem to do more of the hating - "REPUBLICANS are nazis, Fascists, bible-thumpers, hypocrits etc. etc.

 

[wrath]

That is your opinion.

Yes it is and I hope I am as entitled to it as anyone else.

It can be argued that conservatives do the same.

I can't argue that with you here as I would tend to agree although, in my opinion, liberals set the traps and conservatives keep taking the bait perpetuating the endless cycle.

I suppose you, as an "independant with conservative leanings" are immune to folly?

Although I attempt to limit my "follies" :mrgreen: I make no claims to be anything other than human.

I do have a good memory so as not to forget the past and I am a good listener as I always consider the future.

 

[SKILMATIC]

:lol: And you wonder why no one respects you with hate speech like that. But dont take my word for it just ask people how they feel about your "pithy" comments. Hey it sounds someone has something in common to the very person he hates.

This is so typical of people. Usually the ones we cant stand are the ones we are very much alike

Wrong again! I don't wonder that at all.

Again another thing we agree on. Your right you dont wonder. You know. :lol:

Okay, first off, Kennedy, a liberal, started the Vietnam war, and stood up to the Soviets big style in the Cuban Missile Crisis and invaded Cuba, just a taster of liberals siding with U.S. enemies.

Read the 9/11 commission, Clinton was all over al Qaeda, and Bush ignored them completely, until it became impossible to do so. Clinton actually handed over a comprehensive plan for dealing with Al Qaeda to the Bush Administration. He could have implemented it himself, but it would have been like invading a country a week before Bush took office, so he put his faith in Bush to implement the plan, he didn't. Now it probably wouldn't have foiled 9/11, but you said Clinton rolled over, not true pal.

And labour unions are a cornerstone of European democracy, and the weakness of the unions in the U.S. is perhaps one of the reasons for the surprising weakness of democratic forms in the U.S.. Out-sourcing has nothing to do with unions, except being possible due to their political impotence. Outsourcing has everything to do with 'Free' Trade and class war, objectives of big business. To blame it on unions is perhaps one of the strangest arguments I have ever made. Unless your a corporate CEO, then I would know you were just lying and didn't believe what you said.

Oh, and Republicans don't want to stop illegal Mexican immigrants, as the corporate backers like the cheap labour they can provide, so in a sense, strong unions would actually reduce illegal immigration. As to tort reform, well it's a tricky subject sure, but there have been some appaling results in attempts to sue big businesses, including the insurance companies as well as manufacturing, healthcare (not Doctors per se) and the system is highly biased toward giant conglomerates and big business, so yeah I want to see some reform, just not in the way you do I think.

Whats destroying healthcare in the U.S. is the privatisation of it and the belief that no-one is entitled to free healthcare.

And liberals believe in raising taxes, yeah sure thats true. On the rich, it's called progressive taxation, because it increases social equality, and ends up providing all kinds of benefits to the poor. The form of taxation Bush likes is called regressive taxation, because it increases social inequality and sends the rich/poor divide sky-rocketing. Now if I were to choose between a progressive tax-plan, or regressive tax-plan (these are economic terms, not liberal), then without even knowing anything I would pick the progressive, but as I do know about them, my choice remains the same.

The question is why do both sides debate like this is some kind of football game you have to win at all costs? Then combine this with many arguements that come from a place of pure emotion, you whined up with something nobody wants.

This is the problem, political coverage is all about process and not policy. The mainstream left and right just scream at each other rather than a debate on substantative issues. I don't blame the left or the right for this, but the corporate media, this way the population fails to gain accurate and relevant information and instead argue among themselves using the talking points of the two factions of the business party.

The corporate media doesn't want a well informed population, able to debate each other on policy, rather it wants a highly polarised society arguing on process and abstracts, and through all of this runs a nasty and subversive anti-socialist agenda. In Britain do you want to know what we call poor people against free healthcare? Not conservatives, idiots.

You forgot to add "because liberals hate God,our military and are America hating scum."

The IMMENSE stupidity of this post is way up there, at a near record level of ignorance. Good job! I can hardly wait to read your next little web gem.

BTW - Liberals don't hate God, we hate when people like you force THEIR god into our private lives. We love our military, we HATE when asshole leaders like Rove & Rumsfeld kill thousands of out citizens and maim tens of thousands more in a war that has no justification and is based on lies.

Finally, only a truly ignorant small-minded, undereducated creep would ever believe that disagreeing with you makes you hate America. When I read posts that state that Liberals hate America I fully get that the post was written without any intelligence whatsoever, none, zero, zip, zilch.

The only thing Un-American I read into your post is the suggestion that Liberals hate America. Anyone who believes that has no clue at the very least, and is, IMHO, in reality, against everything that America actually stands for, like freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom to disagree publicly without being called "America hating scum."

My biggest problem with this new generation of liberalism is that every issue seems to be designed to provoke bitterness and venom for the sole purpose of further dividing our country. I could never sign on to or respect a platform like that.

Versus this beautiful comment posted by, according to his profile, "very conservative" community member?

You forgot to add "because liberals hate God,our military and are America hating scum."

Does this qualify for, as you just wrote about Liberals?

designed to provoke bitterness and venom for the sole purpose of further dividing our country.

Ann Coulter

:lol: TRUE :lol: I sort of thought she was another kind of animal. I thought republicans hated her too... Or no? Ahh, whatever. O'Reilly, Hannity, Limbaugh are all basically on the same page as Coulter.

 

[Mixed View]

I don't hate liberals! I'm mostly conservative, but some liberal views are actually very Christian, or Assemblies of God. Like with third world country spending, I think we should be devoting are time towards directly helping them, then marching in the streats for Bill and Bob so they can get married. I believe the world should unite and get really involved with the spread of aids. Now that is a weapon of mass destruction!
