What the hell is wrong with people?
I am lucky, I was raised a Liberal. But even if I wasn't, I know what is right and what is wrong with regard to human nature. I have never been rich nor do I wish to be. I just want to be comfortable as I think most people wish to be. I only want the same for everyone on the planet! I was in an AOL chat room, FTL, a lefty room but the repubs always invade. And some bushbot asked me what the definition of a Liberal was. Some other moran said we were all socialists. :wtf: How would that be a bad thing? I don't get these selfish jerks!

2. You pinko commie!
Don't you know that being socialist is as bad as being Stalin himself! Letting the poor share an equal piece of the pie is wrong, let 'em starve.:sarcasm:

5. Ah yes, forgive me for wanting everyone to share in the pie
Didn't bush** say he wanted to make the pie higher? Republicans are selfish! And they are huge hypocrites!

3. The aol rooms are horrible
I was sent virus's by the kids in there. Stay out of the FTL it's not worth it, just a bunch of creeps with too much time on thier hands. And dont take things personally. Hope this helped.

4. They throw around buzzwords...
and do not know what they mean.
I told a guy today, at work, who directed "politically correct" at me, that I "don't speak in code".
I don't fall for buzzwords or labels. I told him I am a numbers guy who wants to talk brass tacks and facts. Words like "liberal" and "conservative" fall into that emotional chasm of this slogan, sound bite culture.
Let's keep it real by defining our premise for conversation. Anything else is confusion which that side thrives on.

6. Well, I am called a commie on a regular basis...
All I can say is...whatever. I know what I know and if people do not agree with what I think or have to say, then that is their problem not mine. I will stand up for what I believe is right.

10. Hit them wiht this
Edited on Wed Jul-27-05 09:30 PM by Beaver Tail
The Founding fathers were ALL Liberials. If you hate liberals you hate the founding fathers.

Edit here

It also goes to show they don't know how the political scale works.

12. It's not "liberal vs. conservative"...It's "good vs. asshole."
These people passing themselves off as "conservatives" are really just "assholes."

14. Liberal is a great word. They attack you for it & try & label you
otherwise because they covet the word. Neocons partially believe in liberal economic policies. All Democracies in the world are some for of liberal democratic democracy.

Keep using the world liberal. It describes you perfectly.

18. So selfish?
I swear these morans are so self serving and self absorbed and self righteous( without any reason to be). They make me sick! The red states are the biggest recipients of Fed dollars while the blue state are the biggest contributors of Fed dollars! :wtf:

21. I was at the VA hospital the other day (bear with me here)
just after visiting someone I know at the volunteer fire department and just before I had to drop off a book at the public library which I get to by using the federal highway nearby and I was telling someone how glad I was that I was part of the fight against socialism.:sarcasm:

So society is good for all and all benefit from it, regard less of supporting it or not, or while not supporting and taking advantage of it? So Again the repubs are hypocrites! Ah well! I guess that was what I was trying to say to begin with.
