Liberals see themselves as open minded, that is exactly the problem, disagree?

You make a good , and obvious case for us conservatives, however, you lose ground by specifically pointing to a black kid and then later calling him a loser.  Dangerous territory and destroys your credibility of those minds you are trying to perhaps change.  Unless you were purposely trying to narrow your audience to deep south white folks only.

One cannot explain liberal stupidity. You just have to accept the fact that they are and move on. You cannot argue with a liberal because they always think they are right and will not hear any opposing views. Liberals pretend to be open minded but in reality, they are the most close minded people on the planet because they will not accept any other way  or ideas but their own.

While that's a noble ideal, it is human nature to disagree.  Everyone has their own set of life experiences that helped shape their beliefs and the priority they give different aspects of life, including those that intersect with the government.  Also, for the intellectually lazy, it's simply easier to demonize opponents instead of addressing their concerns and engaging in reasoned debate.

the problem between liberals and conservatives, is simple ,while liberal minded people point out the inequities of those who earn less and work harder , conservatives feel as though they have earned what they get .\nConservatives by virtue of always following the rules and path laid before them do so blindly without a care in the world never noticing they have a distinct advantage.\nAS an older American who watches T.V. and reads news reports i have noticed that the media talks down to people .This gives me a headache and in trying to point this out and other simple facts I run into conservatives who try to insist everything is fine with the country except for the liberals who are trying to destroy america. They point out that marriage is between a man and a woman and that is fine with me ,but giving married people rights that others do not have is wrong and i point this out.\nI get the usu-all responce that it was adam and eve not adam and steve responce .\nThis was not what I expected from an intelligent person \nI wanted to hear you are right and how can we make things fair for couples who want to raise a family.\nI get but adam and steve can not have a family only adam and eve.\nTO this i point out how many children in america have no parents at all and live in foster care, an impermanent situation that leaves children wondering always when they will be accepted as permanent members of  a family and know they are loved for who they are .\nA family consists of a domestic group of people ,typicaly affiliated by birth or marriage or by comparable legal relationship.\nIN a nuclear family the typically female  memeber of the family stayes home and raises the children ,and should the marriage fail she is provided for and so are the children.\nNOW when a same sex partnership breaks up only the person who has adopted the children legally has any rights .\nThis leaves the member of the family who raised the children and was there all the time for them watching over them and protecting them every day with no rights at all if they are not the adoptive member of the family.IN- fact they are not intitled to support or visitation or any rights granted in a marriage.\nI say to my consevative friends which i have only a few casual relationships with how do we do something about this and the responce is they had no business being togheter in the first place.\nThis i can not accept and it is wrong for anyone to tell another how to live and what relationships work and what ones do not.\nTHIS is the major differance between liberals and conservatives is we accept that rules need to exsist for the benefit of all mankind but mankind is not limited to living a life following rules that restrict his freedom of choice in who he may live with or the rights he is granted or denied because of sex this is discrimination .Two people apply for a license to marry and the rights there-in  agreed upon by the state to regognize and give equal weight to both parties and the benefits offered in accordance to taxes and rights of children to remain with there family.ONCE you make this a choice only offered to people of different sexes you have created discrimination and this is wrong.CONSERVATIVES will never accept this and this is why i beleive they are idiots cause faced with plain simple facts they can not see the truth .IF you asked a kid what is 2+2 and he had no answer or kept on insisting it was 7  you would say the boy is touched after you teach him that 2+2=4 . this is my feeling about conservatives is you can point out the truth but you can not make them drink.IF you wish to be considered average then leave governing to the people who know better and are smarter then you.although i see you put your-self above average americans.this means you see that i am right and discrimination is wrong and gays should have equal protection and rights under our laws.IF however you do not agree i must insist you accept that you are indeed average and allow the smarte

Liberals have a short attention span. Remember the one who answered every question with remarks associating all "repugs" with fast food and gay porn? Evidently she took umbrage to my remarks about PETA- people eating tasting animals. But she's moved on to other things-\nIn fact, she's here now... can you spot her?\n\nBut to answer the questions- I'll stick to the short attention span  theory for the first one.\n\nGoal of alienation? Nah, libs don't have goals. Goals require foresight.\n\nSarcasm? No, sarcasm is funny.

This liberal agrees with you.

It depends on what issue the liberal is arguing at the moment.  Sometimes him being stupid helps their argument better and other times the evil genius idea helps their argument better.  He really can't be both, but liberals do enjoy contradicting themselves.

People are too closed minded and get blinded by all other alternatives but their own.  Religious, Political, or Ethnic background it doesn't matter.  No one else opinions matter.  If you don't see theirs you are the enemy.

Because they are liberals.  Is there really anything more that needs to be said?

There's nothing particularly "bad" about either one, it's just that some individuals see things more in "black" or "white" than others, which would put them on one end of the spectrum or the other as far as politics.  The irony of the matter though is the answer to a lot of issues that "conservatives" and "liberals" often fight over is often in the middle of all this clamoring.  In the end, this is part of what makes America great...the fact that you CAN have any opinion you want about anything, regardless of which side of the political spectrum you are on.  There are many other nations around the world that having an opinion outside of the majority or what is in the government's interest isn't even a remote thought in the minds of the people.  I'm thankful to be here whether I agree with everyone about everything or not.

I suppose it is ignorance or the lack of understanding of what the majority of Americans want for America. I've never seen a Liberal desire anything for all of America, unless it benefited them personally.  And I've never seen a Liberal seek anything that was morally wholesome and/or correct.\n\nSometimes we do not listen to the truth, because we don't want to hear it. Liberals and Democrats do not want our Conservative Republican President to succeed... (which not only makes our president look bad, but it makes America look bad.)\nand because of this, they bash the president, make up stuff...and spin their time stretching or changing the truth.\n\nMost answers to questions on this site, made by them, are "reportable" because they cannot argue their points without cursing or talking dirty. Very few appear educated, most are miss-informed, and all appear to have tunnel vision. (DESTROY and DISCREDIT the President and Republicans.)\n\nI never hear any positive directions or new ideas to help and support America. Just negativity from the left....\n\nBut then TRUTH is always a challenge to discredit.... maybe they just like a challenge!

Yeah, I am one of the few liberals who dont put other people down.  This is what I have to say to all the liberals who do: Most liberals believe what they do because they believe in human rights.  By putting down anyone who doesnt believe what you do, are you really standing up for human rights, or liberal rights?  And to conservatives, most of you are the way you are because of a strong moral foundation.  Do you really think of yourself as a moral being when you talk about how terrible liberals are for what they believe?  By doing this you are NO better than them.  If you want to have great moral charcater, raise up above them and show them that you have an argument that can be proven, and dont just bash everyone.  \n\nThe thing about political views is that there are two equally good sides to EVERYTHING.  Period.  The only reason why people believe the way they do is because they think that one side is more imporant than the other.  For example, take abortion.  The right side believes that it is terrible because no matter when you believe life starts, you are getting rid of a potential life.  Not even a liberal can argue that side.  The left side however believes that if it is a life or not, a grown woman's rights is so important that an unborn child is a small price to pay.  Both sides are right and just, but what you believe is what you think is more important.  Any issue can be taken appart to the right and left side like that, and anyone who refuses to do that and just believe something for no reason doesnt have a mind and just follows whatever liberal/conservative bullshit they are fed.\n\nDear god, why cant we just get along?  Why is it that we can NOT respect others if they arent like us?

We as liberals (for the most part because I can't speak for everyone) are open-minded.  I think if you open your eyes and ears and tune into Fox news, you'll find alot more name calling and stereotyping by neo-cons then you could ever find by liberals.\n\nNow I'm not sure, but I think you have tolerance backwards.  The first amendment says "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof...".  Liberals don't disagree with religion, as a majority of Jews and Catholics are democrats, but they disagree with many conservative views that religion should play a role in government.  There is nothing in the Constitution honoring one relgion over another, nothing indicating America as a Christian country.  Liberals are tolerant of all religions, thus making sure that one isn't publically favored over another; privately, anything is fair game.  Free exercise has never been attacked by liberals as a whole.\n\nReferring to the south as "stupid" is metaphorical.  Historically, the south has always been slower in technological and economical development than the north.  Aside from that, they are also most easily impressioned by their leaders, a fallacy if you will.  They more believe what they are told and do not question the people who hold similar policital and religious values as they.  The south and "bible belt" are also consistently referred to by many, both liberal and conservative, as the land of red-necks.  All of this is to say that obviously not all of the south is "stupid" just that a majority tend to be very ignorant.  Religion plays a large role in this viewpoint, as many think that supporting something like an undeveloped fetus's rights over a woman's is obsurd.  Or that teaching abstinence rather than safe sex and contraception is just plain dumb.\n\nFocussing on the Iraq war and "brainwashing", let's first look at Germany in the 1930's.  Heinrich Himmer (one of Hitler's henchmen) once said, "The best political weapon is the weapon of terror. Cruelty commands respect. Men may hate us. But, we don't ask for their love; only for their fear."  Sound familiar?  For one second, step down from your viewpoint and think about this quote with an open-mind.  The tactic of using fear played a key role in Hitler's rise to power.  Have you noticed that every corner we turn these days has been plastered with "terrorists", "al-Qaeda", "war on terror", fear, fear, fear, and more fear.  And in doing this, the administration has been given a skeleton key, a free-pass to do anything they want.  Warantless wiretapping?  Don't think for a second that one, single branch of government needs this almighty power to "protect the people against terrorists."  Then the prosecution of our "free press" for reporting this abuse of power to the people?  Everything Bush does happens to be in the name of National Security, but why are we giving him such unlimited power?  If you've read George Orwell's 1984, you would know that it's a very slippery slope towards Big Brother, an all-powerful, controlling, and impressionist government.  The next step, believe it or not, could be something like: halting the mid-term elections in the name of National Security.  We as people shouldn't give up our civil liberties for protection against something that (if you look really hard at it) isn't real.  The threat of terrorism?  If you look really close at what is going on, you'll notice that the threat of terrorism isn't as real as we are told (i.e. brainwashed).  If it was, why would our Republican led government (all three branches) be cutting spending on Homeland Security 7% - from $34.1 bill to $31.8 bill?  It all comes down to reality.  Do you feel better knowing that an unjust war that's profiting private contractors (

Liberals only think of the present and what they want now. They don't look at the big picture and consider what the consequences\nof their actions and demands will be further down the road.

Though I am not a liberal, I have found that wacko conservatives are more stubborn know it alls than are liberals. Personally, I think both are retarded, but that's just the opinion of a hard line moderate.

Anyone who claims to be 100% liberal or 100% conservative is an idiot and not hearing the issues.  In reality, everyone is a moderate.

Liberals live in the perfect world's within their own minds where there is a pot of gold at the end of each rainbow and a rainbow for each rain drop that falls. Where all Muslims are moderates and everyone egalitarian. Wouldn't it be great if the real world was that way? Obviously, it is not. However, and unfortunately, the liberals don't dare let the realities of the real world cloud their 'judgements' (they don't really make judgements -- they have preconceived ideas only) or their rhetoric and the rest of us must live with them and their ridiculous tendencies even while trying to make the world as pleasant and just for all as is possible.
