Why are most people that don't know what they are talking about when answering political questions liberals?

Giving the definition of liberal, by no means, proves anything about what they actually are or believe.  I can call myself Superwoman, but that doesn't mean I can fly.  It just means I think you're stupid enough to believe it.

Liberals do not like the "under God" line in it.  After all.... they think they are gods and do not want to be reminded that here is one and they are not him.  Then, they might have to humle themselves before Him.\n\nSue

I think people on both sides, left and right, spout of ignorant statements with no factual backing. Like "all liberals are baby killers" or "all republicans are rich or bible thumpers."  The terms 'liberal' and 'conservative' have negative connotations in and of themselves these days, they are bad words. Some republicans would say "I'm not rich, am not an evangelical christian, and am not an NRA member." \n\nWhat would you like facts provided for? Anything in particular? The reasons we were attacked by Isalmic Terrorists are far too complex to explain here, although some don't like to admit that. Complex is scary! Radical Islam has been around a long time. And yes, part of their disgust with us is our freedom. When your ideology states that you must follow Islam, strict fundamentalist Islam, you could see how Americans and all of their "evil" freedoms don't fit into their world view. The question you have to ask yourself is, do these Islamo-Fascists pose a threat to your way of life? \n\nIn my opinion, both parties have intelligent, passionate, well educated people that disagree on some issues. And each side has some narrow minded, self centered, hateful people who have no time to try to understand the other sides point of view. For them everything is black and white, right or wrong, there's never any gray area. That is not the world we live in. It's easier to spout of the same old bs!\n\nThe same holds true for politicians.

As a liberal, it's embarrasing to have people posting questions like this.\n\nLet's try to raise the level of the discourse.  Let the fundamentalist conservatives have Shiraz and his ilk and their hateful questions.  Liberals should be better than this.\n\nI'm no fan of Bush, but the Nazi comparisons just don't hold water, and they make us look as silly as those we oppose.

I think it's means that in order to have an opinion about something, you have to know what you're talking about first.  For example, ask someone if they like a certain poltician.  Make sure it's one they know, even use President Bush if you have to.  A lot of people will give you a clear-cut yes or no answer.  Ask them why, and listen to all of the bogus excuses that most people will give you.  It's quite interesting to see how stupid and dishonest some people really are.

mymadsky: HOW MANY TIMES HAVE CONSERVATIVES TAKEN POINTS, JUST AS, IF NOT MORE, OUT OF CONTEXT AS THIS QUESTION DOES... \n\nTHERE ARE MANY, MANY, MANY QUESTIONS THAT TALK ABOUT "WHAT A LIBERAL BELIEVES" THAT IS JUST AS BIAS AND STUPID AND USUALLY MORE OUT OF CONTEXT...  \n\nHELL RUSH HAS MADE A CAREER OF SAYING CRAP JUST LIKE THIS!\n\nWHY IS IT OK FOR CONSERVATIVES TO TAKE THINGS TOTALLY OUT OF CONTEXT AND CALL LIBERALS UN-AMERICAN, BUT IT'S NOT OK WHEN DEMOCRATS DO IT? CAN CONSERVATIVES JUST NOT TAKE THE HEAT?

you made a mistake with your question..... you should have asked " why are politics such lemmings when it comes to people "

based on my own sampling I have noticed that people giving articulate, intelligent answers to questions asked gravitate towards the left in their views and the ones leaving simple sloganistic responses that in no way come close to answering questions seem to have a \n"rightie" bias.  \n\nAn unscientific sampling to be sure.

Fascism,gotta love it!\nAs to your question, I find liberals are generally people who are close minded, full of themselves, and desperate to be 'in'. I also find them in large annoying numbers at our local coffee bars, spouting their rhetoric. poop!

Saying "convservatives" or "liberals" are uneducated is a gross generalisation. It always means that the person saying it has encountered a head strong idiot with particular views that oppose theirs. \n\nThat said, most self proclaimed "conservatives" or "liberals" are idiots. Nothing wrong with having views on an issue, but ask yourself how you came to have those views. \n\nAs Chris Rock once said: "Any person who declares a stance on an issue before examining the issue itself is an idiot."

They don't know how to argue based on facts, so they attack people based on their beliefs and make assumptions about them based on their affiliation.  unfortunately, as long as there are ignorant people around, these types of attacks will continue.  the best thing people can do is educate themselves about their own political beliefs, so they can argue why they think their beliefs are good ones, rather than how much someone sucks b/c they have  different beliefs.

There are liberals and conservatives with diverse opinions.  The problems in our political system are primarily because we define each other as either liberals or conservatives, democrats or republicans.  Even the third party candidates are really just renamed persons of the same two political parties.  The question is how do we escape from this trap and find a genuine dialog with each other?

To prove your point...they don't know crap.\n"Politically Stupid"

I think it's because young people are used to having someone else do for them and they haven't had enough life experiences to weigh against what they've been taught in school by their left-leaning teachers and professors. I have found that the "FACTS" do not support many things that I was taught in school. Liberals have misused this mechanism of learning by chanting over and over as fact things that are simply untrue.

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!

All that you said is very well and good but they don't hear you they want what they want at the expense of the people and that is the way they are "i never have meet a liberal that had a soul" and probably never will they are mostly Communist or socialist to the cause against freedom and the true American people!\nI have said it before and i will say it again liberals feed on their young and they have no loyalty or morals!

People don't like to appear ignorant and so will post to get the 2 points even if they have no idea what they are talking about.\nNever let the truth get in the way of a good 2 points seems to be the motto of this place.\nWhat worries me are the people who can't tell the difference and are accepting answers from people who have no clue.  \nKeep up the good fight
