Do liberals actually think they're brave for standing up in freedom and advocating/siding with tyranny?

I don't know what they' think' they are but in my book it is just plain cowardliness.

But instead this was a pleasant surprise!! My anwser to this question is this...I feel the same as those people who anwsered above me!!\n\nGun Control truly is hitting your target and nice grouping!!

I've had less than that.\n1 out of 100 people are mechanical,ruthless and without fear that can pull it off. It's all about reaction time and how you deal with the stress of the situation.\nI didn't think I was. I was always a big soft liberal.\nStill scares me that I am. I avoid these situations as I do not like this part of me.\nI suggest you do the same.\nEither way. YOU LOSE!

I swear it looks like some of them are.  I mean those of us who are liberal democrats can't say much either.  We've sure had our moments too.

Yes, this is true to some extent.  However there must be some basic level of human decency and political ethics that underlies all human transactions.  Building from this foundation, we create a framework for dialog and tolerance.\n\nChief in this basic level is the absolute provision to "live and let live".  As long as some action or belief of mine does not impact your ability to live your life as you choose, you may protest but you may not threaten or use violence.

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.

You know I have always wondered why Repuglicans can say being liberal is a bad thing. It really isn't, we think before we act, we explore new ideas, and we care about the human race.

The world may never know...but it is nice to see that some liberals(such as the asker in your link) are open to learning the opposing views.

I always respect people who will stand up for their beliefs. Especially if what they believe is unpopular and they know that speaking up will make their lives more difficult. That is a difficult and brave thing to do.

Liberals have to express their bravery in some way since the vast majority are nothing but cowards.\n\nWhat better way to do that than by cracking open a child's skull, inserting a rod in the child's skull to destroy the brain, then reaching in and sucking the child's brains out with a vacuum and then dumping the leftovers of the child in the nights trash.\n\nPerfect crime against the most defenseless being on earth with the mothers consent no less-but let's make sure we protect those baby seals.

It's true, we all have our own personal beliefs, yet some tend to lean theirs onto others. They'll say it's "Freedom of Speech." How about "Freedom of Choice"?  I choose to follow my path, which may parallel with yours or go in a different direction, but I'm not going to insist mine is THE way. It's what works for us that we choose the road which to walk.

political party allegiance is slowly taking precedence over the issues. i believe they shovel whatever they can out in order to keep their job, thats what it essentially is, they are competing with one another for their jobs. some still have real convictions, but after the past election, having to deal with the crap the republicans pulled, i feel they have generally committed themselves to each other rather than the cause, so i declare myself an independent now, because my convictions are more important than my party allegiance. \n\nso, more yes than no, but im not going to agree with certainty either way.\n\n"you can fool all of the people some of the time; and you can fool some of the people all of the time; but you can't fool all of the people all of the time."\n-abraham lincoln

I would say - vey few.\n\nSince when has any liberals been willing to place their lives on the line for you?

Well, I agree with what you have said. \n\nI look forward to a response from someone who considers themselves Liberal to address each of your points, not just one. Two responders never addressed any. Unfortunately that is what tends to happen most of the time when you ask them direct questions.  \n\nThis is the perfect opportunity for them to explain their viewpoints.

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.

I love the comments about "useless" liberals.  COME ON! Do you think the current position of the US is cool? Should we keep doing what we're doing?  Uhhh. I think not. Liberals are not falsely patriotic! They are just ready to see America delineated the way the founding fathers wished it to be! Not lead by something of a facist dictator who if he choses can send thousands of our brothers, husbands and sons to die for some bogus worldy cause to save his own interests!

I think it's all a matter of perception. When liberals, such as myself, do present evidence to back a claim up, it is often viewed by SOME neocon nutjobs as vicious and nearsighted when in fact it proves to be the truth in my (our) estimation. I suggest taking a broader look at any political issue and then view it from different perspectives, i.e. race, sex, sexual orientation, religion, etc., then ask yourself "if I was in their position what would be acceptable and reasonable". It all comes down to ones perception, when it comes to our great country it behooves us (citizens) to think with our brains and NOT our hearts. Now go have nice tall glass of Kool-Aid and think about what I just said.
