7. Historically one of the most evil
movements in western civilization, racial hygiene, eugenics, and even nastier stuff. Of course that only applies if you ever cracked a history book.

Which is why I am a liberal, even the age of enlightenment liberals were not as much a bunch of sociopathic, misanthropic waste of cellular matter.

13. I would imagine that number to be a bit high.
Then again, I'm only correct 44% of the time.

18. If they use Democrat instead of Liberal the statistics may be close
We have Democrats that are so close to Republican in
their beliefs, I have silently questioned, why do
they prefer to call themselves Democrats.

I frankly find Liberals disagreeing that much to be
preposterous.

On an issue like War, there will be differing views.
Classical Liberal --strong Military but War as last resort.
We also have sincere Anti-War Liberals.

26. I was referring to this pic:
Edited on Wed Mar-23-11 04:31 AM by slay
that some of the - pro Obama at all costs - people have in their sig line - and the pic stas are a lie on top of that. Obama's approval among liberals (if every as high as stated in this pic) has fallen - in just one month he's dropped from 78% approval among liberals to 73% (almost 10 points lower than his approval from Dems in general) according to gallup poll -- http://www.gallup.com/poll/124922/Presidential-Approval-Center.aspx

<-- LIE! Even the "liberal democrat" label is 4 points lower than the pic states. I'm beginning to think liberal and democrat may not go together as well as people think.

sorry if my other post was confusing but i wasn't talking about any differences between liberal and progressive. :hi:

25. So 7% of Liberal disagree with themselves half the time?
Sounds pretty conservative to me.

29. We know all about that 12% and where they are coming from, but what I want to know
is what it's going to take to get the other 88% off the fence?
