Why are liberals so jealous of loving compassionated conservatives?

It's as simple as this.  Liberals feel that they are better able to spend money collectively for the good of a society than individuals are able to spend their own money for the good of society.  It is a mindset.  Liberals think society first at all costs and conservatives feel individual first.  On the outside the liberal side sounds better but to achieve their mindset they have to forcibly take from others (continuously higher taxes) which unless it's done by a government is generally called stealing.

As liberals have told you time and again, they are better than you. You can't tell them that the Emperor has no clothes they will attack you as they always do. They put forth their human shields to avoid ridicule and won't get dirty in the Arena of ideas because Liberals are selective in which venue they operate. Hilary won't go on Fox for example.Teddy won't either. Heretics like us are sons of satan to them. When you argue, let them cuss first, that is an indication that you bested them. LOL

As much as I'd like to appreciate the sentiments that you were wrong in attacking liberals, I have to think that your probably are one yourself, and that you're doing the same thing as all the conservative dingbats on here, just with less verbal abuse.\n\nEither that, or you are hardcore conservative, and you're just doing that to criticize us later on.\n\nI hope you aren't either case, and if I'm wrong, I truly apologize, but I just have this feeling.

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

I guess you're talking about the morons on here (and their counterparts in the real world) who spew nothing but hatred for anyone who disagrees with them about anything.\n\n1.  I think they never learned to think for themselves.  They've only been taught WHAT to think, so when they encounter different opinions, all they can do is yell.  They can't hold a reasoned discussion.\n\n2.  They're not really liberals in the truest sense of the word.  A real liberal supports freedom for all people.  They may be social liberals, but I even doubt that. In America, however, the economic liberals have traditionally been called conservatives or libertarians.  When's the last time you heard a so-called "liberal" in America talk about 'economic liberalization'?\n\n3.  It's not really love they feel for people in the developing world.  It's a combination of guilt and pity. They feel guilty because they have something that others don't, and they don't understand why. And they pity the poor people who don't live like them. It's easier to pity, because that carries with it no requirement to effect change.  All you have to do is feel sorry.  If they met real people in a developing nation, they wouldn't really want to associate with them socially, or see them succeed.  Because, after all, success is equal to greed in the modern American liberal's mind.  We wouldn't want to corrupt the helpless with success.  Instead, they just want to give handouts and feel good about themselves.  There's a moral superiority here...they truly believe that they're doing the right thing.  The sad thing is that their policies have perpetuated poverty around the world. \n\nThe confused mind of American "liberals" is a result of not understanding economics.  But only recently has all that confusion turned into outright hatred.  All this hatred doesn't bode well for the future.

The sick, twisted part of far-left Liberalism is how they unconsciously hurt those people they purport to help.  Liberals think they're altruistic and oh-so-compassionate, but let's see how that squares with the facts.\n\nFor decades, Liberals touted welfare on the premise that poor people needed help.  While they're were all feeling warm and fuzzy about their good deeds, they were condemning entire generations to permanently stay on the dole.  The reasons were two-fold.  First, there was no mechanism to wean yourself off welfare.  If a single mother wanted to get a job, she would actually have to accept an income reduction in order to work, and then she'd have to pay for child care and medical care on her own.\n\nConservatives confronted liberals about the unintended consequences of the liberal welfare program, but the liberals were too busy..... feeling all warm and fuzzy about their "good deeds".\n\nThe second way welfare entrapped people was that it preyed on their laziness.  I once saw a 60-Minutes report which showed an entire extended family, ranging over four generations, numbering over 100 people, none of whom had ever held a job.  I will never forget this fat welfare momma looking defiantly into the cameras and shouting, "I ain't gonna work for no minimum wage.  I has my pride!"\n\nWhat about the liberals support of unfettered immigration?  All they do is stres how anyone should be able to waltz across the border.  Hmmm... now how is that going to do these people any permanent good?  Without a mechanism to become legal citizens, these immigrants are condemned to live on the shadowy margens of society.  Also, by taking the pressure off Mexico to end its legendary corruption, these "do-gooders" are just perpetuating a bad situation.\n\nDid I get off the subject?  Sorry.

Understanding, sympathy, empathy, compassion?  These qualities do not exist or at the most are minimal with regard to the right-wing. Their philosophy is " I've got mine so fock you", similar to the survival of the fittest mentality, what they don't understand is that we are human beings as opposed to wild animals. Hypocrisy is second nature in the criminal republican party.

Thank you for making it obvious that liberals are intellectually inferior to conservatives. You've got some serious issues... I suggest years and years of in-depth psychoanalysis and therapy.

Are conservatives smug, non-thinkers who only do what their minister tells them to do?\n\nI don't believe that, but if you're going to do nothing but hurl insults, all I have to do is toss them right back at you.\n\nThen, you and other conservatives will say - "See, liberals can only mock conservatives", while you fail to see that you began this thread with a ridiculous insult.

I honestly don't think they're very compassionate.  As far as being conservatives,  I really don't think they are all that conservative either.  They want votes, and there are a lot of liberal ideas on the table right now.  Basically, they're full of crap

Its a myth to sell George Bush to Christian evangelicals. \nWith all due respect to Marvin Olassky (sp?), the author of this doctrine, even the evangelicals are unhappy with Bush's broken promises. Compassionate Conservative really means social Darwinism.  They'll toss a crust of bread to someone if  they will allow some proslytizing up front - but take funds out of secular social safety net programs.  Its the new theocracy.

It's not what they're smoking -- Libs just NEED to feel good about themselves.   I use to be a Democrat and somewhat liberal.  It made me feel good to be on the side of the party of the "common man."  It made me feel good to trash the "rich" Republicans.  It made me feel good to be for peace.  It made me feel good to be for equality.  It made me feel good to support social welfare programs.  Then I started reading and listening and thinking and I concluded that today's Democrats are not the Democrats that my parents and grandparents supported (and therefore I supported). They are more like Socialist who want the CENTRALIZED CONTROL OF AMERICA and a political-economic policy that boarders on communism.   The Socialist programs of the New Deal and The Great Society have failed for the most part and are destroying our country.  Now I am much more conservative, and a great deal worried.

Why does everybody blame Walmart.  Americans are the greediest people on the planet.  We use 3/4th of the worlds resources.  As greedy individuals we are also selfish.  If one is generous and cares for the welfare of others as one is instructed to do in the Bible, one is given the name "bleeding heart liberal," from the very people who profess to be so keen on moral values.  I just wonder where those values are coming from.  I'm poor myself but I contribute part of my money every month to Feed the Poor because I believe in karma.

Liberals forget one very important thing. When you take tolerance to the level that people cannot say, do, think, believe, or want whatever they choose within the bounds of REASONABLE social law, it becomes intolerant. They think that only they are right, so if I believe something differant, I am imposing my beliefs on them, so I must give up my beliefs, forgetting that if they make me give up my beliefs, they are the ones being intolerant and imposing. That is why they are so selfish.

right on, q! \n\nthat's the one similar thing i've seen with the flaming republicans on the site. freedom, toleration, and the right to live a good life is for everyone, and not just for the people who are in the same mind frame as they are.\n\nif they put a little compassion or toleration into their ideas, it would make them look LESS ridiculous!
