Because liberals are not really what they say they are.  They speak of tolerance but they are the most intollerant of all who don't agree with them.  They are stupid

Hmm..I am a liberal, yet I have never killed a baby, ran from a fight or saved a seal.  Liberals are not anti military, the idea that they are is ludacris.  In the last two elections we put forth decorated war veterans, General Wesley Clark a long time serviceman is a Democrat.  Conservatives wlected a veritable draft dodger president, and lied and said that a Vietnam vet who lost both legs and arm fighting for his country(former Georgia senator Max Cleeland) supported terroists, just to win his senate seat.  Liberals believe in fighting the good fight, not the pointless one that needlessly puts brave men and women in harms way.  As for hugging trees, those who look at the scientific data in terms of health effects and global warming and don't put the environment at the forefront are simply put, foolish.

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.

because liberalism is a mental disorder.\n\n"a twisted mind twists everything."

Don't know but they do deny the fact that they are liberals and use useless words like fascist and nazi to counter their worthless attack!!!!!\n\nAnd when confronted, most democrats deny that they are democrats, they say they are indpendent!!!

I did not think they were a liberal group.\n Are you making stuff up to try to prove that people dont look anything up for themselves and will just argue with someone?

For me, the root of liberalism is the belief that all people are fundamentally good, but can be made bad; while conservatism stems from the belief that evil is inherrent in humans, and they must be guided (by laws or religioin) to being good.\n\nIn their extremes, both positions are wrong. Humans are a little of both.\n\nThe charicature of the "bleeding-heart liberal" (which is a stupid phrase), believes that all social problems are a result of environmental conditions (poverty, child abuse, lack of opportunity) ... hence the emphasis on using government to address these social conditions. The same extends to foreign policy ... the first instinct when someone attacks us is to try and understand *why* ... what are the social conditions that led to them hating us?\n\nThe charicature "heartless conservative" (also a stupid image) believes that evil is inherrent ... that if people are poor or criminals it is their own fault ... that we need religion to guide us away from our evil ways ... and laws to protect good people from bad ... that punishment is more effective than reform. Along those lines, the instinct with foreign policy is that when someone strikes us, we punish them by striking back harder.\n\nNeither position is correct. In the extreme. To believe that you can appease criminals and terrorists leaves you vulnerable to them. But to believe that you can simply punish criminals or terrorists into submission is also futile, and almost always leads to more criminals and terrorists, and a progressively bleaker world.\n\nSo balance between the two approaches is absolutely necessary. An all-Democrat government would be just as bad as an all-Republican government.\n\nSo people really have to stop demonizing the other side. Liberals should *stop* thinking that all conservatives are fascists trying to reduce our freedoms. And conservatives have to *stop* thinking that all liberals are communists trying to weaken our country. And especially, all Americans have to stop despising ... literally *hating* other Americans. That's not just a "let's all get along" speech ... I think it is THE ONLY WAY that terrorists are going to succeed ... to get us to tear *ourselves* apart ... the way they have gotten the Sunnis and Shiites to tear each other apart in Iraq.\n\nSo to your question ... why do I tend to lean more liberal? Just because it better suits my temperament. I prefer to see the fundamental good in people than the fundamental evil. Does that make me more vulnerable to evil people? Perhaps. But I'd rather die believing I'm living in a decent world, than live in daily fear of an evil world.

Victim mentality.  Liberals have no interest in working hard.  They criticize those who do and expect them to be required to help those who are "less-fortunate".  Fortune comes from hard work, not from sitting on ones lazy a** expecting it from someone who actually DID work for it!

I agree with you, I do not want to live near liberals. I feel like they think they are better than others. They would like the government to take care of everyone who does not take personal resposibility for thier lives. They can not accept that life is not fair and the world is a dangerous place. thier answer is make every one else live by strict pc rules except for them. they are a joke.

I do think some people have a point here. Politicians may start out with the best intentions and I think once they are bedded-in, they are called into some sort of secret government society underground as such and told what the "REAL" agenda is and either promised riches to carry them out or told that they will have their nuts chopped off if they don't.

The agenda of liberals is to include a larger cross section of the population in the decision making processes that affect how we must live.\n\nYes, the liberals are trying to destroy certain American traditions.  They have already destroyed the tradition of seperate facilities for people of color.  They have already destroyed the tradition that if you are handicapped, you just shouldn't have access to things the way non-handicapped folks do.  They have destroyed the tradition that women shouldn't vote.  It was the liberals that finally put an end to the McCarthy era, where conservatives vrtually isolated and made criminals people who were exercising their rights as Americans to believe what they want.  Liberals have also ended the American tradition that if you are poor, tough luck, that the rich have no obligation to their American brothers and sisters if they are in need (much like the conservatives of today). \n\nConservatives, on the other hand, are afraid of new ideas, particularly ideas that don't agree with the 'old ways'. \n\nI think a good example of conservatism in the extreme would be the Islamic fundamentalists, who think laws should be today what they were thousands of years ago, and to totally suppress any hint of change.  Women are property, there is only one faith to believe in, anyone that doesn't agree with them is an infidel and does not deserve the consideration of folks that are 'true believers' and they should be killed.

Yes, it seems that neo-cons are concrete operational thinkers and that liberals are abstract.  People who are the former tend to have thier whole lives planned out, are settled, and even when facts are presented they chose to stick with the traditional viewpoint (no matter how wrong) and they also do what they are told without question.  Neo-cons do not question authoristy, rather, they act as apoligists to any half-baked idea the government throws at them.  Neo-cons are the rich elite's dream come true - namely, middle class, often working poor "americans" who cannot understand the methods of thier own exploitation by the elite class and who are more than willing to blame, cannabalize and work against thier fellow people.  Some think they are rich, they live on the credit of the elite, and pay debts monthly to maintain dignity in some distorted way.  The fact of the matter is, they are truely fools, and thier societal place goes far back in history.  Neo-cons have always been around... they worship Machiavelli and pander to power (that works against them ultimately) just as he did.  \n\nThere should be a diagnosis for such people - Neo-Conservative Personality Disorder.\n\nthe treatment could be some cognitive enhancement therapy such as reading just one Noam Chomsky book... but they won't and if they do they can't understand it for the above mentioned reasons.

Simple:  Personal responsibility and consequences for ones' actions is antithesis to the liberal dogma.  They like to call themselves progressives (I must admit they are VERY good at grabbing the best euphemisms), but in reality they are nothing but excuse makers, victim whores, and apologysts for the worst that human nature can produce.

Don't fall for the standard Liberal crap. They are nothing but COWARDS! They don't have the manhood to stand up for what they claim to believe, so they get on TV and try to make everyoneelse feel guilty. This way they get others to do it and then they sit back and take the credit.\n\nYes, I said they are COWARDS!! George Clooney wouldn't fight to save the life of a family member. He would try to find a reporter and do a broadcast. This way someone would save his family member and he would brag that he saved him.\n\nDon't get me wrong, I'm not saying the Libs like Clooney have a YELLOW STREAK. I'm saying they are YELLOW from the top of their heads to the bottom of their feet.\n\nThe way I look at it is, if he is so comitted to the cause, then put on some Camo's and get a rifle and get his sorry butt over their and start fighting for them.

Under neo-liberal rules, you are expected to quietly go over to a ditch and die. \n\nYou could always try to work against neo-liberalism and write your elected officials daily to tell them to stop - deregulating industry, dropping trade barriers, freeing up currency, cutting government spending, de-unionizing, cutting pensions, cutting wlefare and subsities, and allowing so-called "entrepreunrial gods" to push our government around.  \n\nThink about it - India took much of the US manufacturing sector away from us (through the neo-liberal market) raising their GDP 48% (per worker) in just 6 years (1997-2003).  In that same yearwages went from 25 cents an hour to... 23 cents an hour. WTF? right?  who got the money? 100% of the profit from OUR manufacturing jobs went into India's richest 1% of people.  The elite.  Now they do international business and owe nothing to the people of ANY country.  \n\nThis is just one breif example of what the neo-cons (for obvious reasons, neo-greed, want the US to be like)  They are jumping ship, economically... the SS private funds Bush is trying to make us accpet, rather than Bond protected Social security?  All invested in other markets of course, so bye bye USA... that is if we let it happen...\n\nmeanwhile go apply at Home Depot or open an e-bay "store" people make tons of money at that everyday...\n\npeace

Basically thats rhetoric that no one can win against. I worked at the Capitol when Bush was Govornor of Texas and he is by definition a uniter (willing to work with democrats and Republicans) He is not centered along party lines. However the liberals don't in all honesty want to work with Bush they want to see him fail and they want to turn out the demorcrats to the next election to win in Congress and win in the next presidential election. Makes you wonder where there real "dividers" are.
