To be a GOOD Liberal...

SUBMAN1 · 02-09-09, 11:35 PM

You have to believe the following:

1. You have to believe the AIDS virus is spread by the lack of Federal funding.

2. You have to believe that the same teacher who can't teach 4th graders how to read is somehow qualified to teach the same kids about sex.

3. You have to believe that guns in the hands of law-abiding Americans are more of a threat than U.S. nuclear weapons technology in the hands of Chinese communists.

4. You have to believe that there was no art before Federal funding.

5. You have to believe that global temperatures are less affected by cyclical, documented changes in the earth's climate, and more affected by yuppies driving SUV's.

6. You have to believe that gender roles are artificial but being homosexual is natural.

7. You have to be against capital punishment but support abortion on demand.

8. You have to believe that businesses create oppression and governments create prosperity.

9. You have to believe that hunters don't care about nature, but looney activists who've never been outside Seattle do.

10. You have to believe that self-esteem is more important than actually doing something to earn it.

11. You have to believe that the military, not corrupt politicians, start wars.

12. You have to believe the NRA is bad because it supports certain parts of the Constitution, while the ACLU is good, because it supports certain parts of the Constitution.

13. You have to believe that taxes are too low, but ATM fees are too high.

14. You have to believe that Margaret Sanger and Gloria Steinem are more important to American history than Thomas Jefferson, General Robert E. Lee, or Thomas Edison.

15. You have to believe that standardized tests are racist, but racial quotas and set-asides aren't.

16. You have to believe Hillary Clinton is really a lady.

17. You have to believe that the only reason socialism hasn't worked anywhere it's been tried is because the right people haven't been in charge.

18. You have to believe conservatives telling the truth belong in jail, but a liar and a sex offender belongs in the White House.

19. You have to believe that homosexual parades displaying drag, transvestites and bestiality should be Constitutionally protected and manger scenes at Christmas should be illegal.

20. You have to believe that illegal Democratic party funding by the Chinese is somehow in the best interest of the United States.

21. You have to believe that anyone who beats you in an intellectual arguments is a bigot.

22. You have to believe that it's better for a woman to be raped and murdered than for a rapist to be shot.

Feel free to add what you have observed from the liberals around you , such as

The only reason you would want a Suppressor for your gun is to poach game and assassinate Democrats.

That keeping guns out of Students, Employee's and management hands will keep everyone safe and no criminal would ever force their way into a gun free zone - with a gun.

More generalizations that would shame O'Reilly himself. A few of these are pretty funny though, especially 16 :rotfl:

Sorry. Have been busy lately. Buried in work up to my eyeballs!

Not much is humorous when working hard. This one made me smirk a bit though so I shared it.

Not sure who this sanger person is. Sorry once again.

...and to be a good republican you have to do what, swallow this bull**** whole?

FIREWALL · 02-10-09, 01:14 AM

Subman1 while I think most if not all will go over most heads, I liked all 22 of them.

antikristuseke · 02-10-09, 05:27 AM

How unexpected, SUBMAN1 makes antoher you-are-stupid-I-am-right, thread where he uses gross generalisation to mock everyone who does not agree with his narrow word view. Noone could have expected this. And about 21, I would love to see you beat someone in an intelectual argument, so far all you have done is use fallacies and strawmen defaulting the win to your oponents in all cases i can remember.

Tchocky · 02-10-09, 05:52 AM

I guess it's that time of year again.

Well, almost.

UnderseaLcpl · 02-10-09, 08:52 AM

This kind of generalization only makes liberals defensive, and therefore more difficult to persuade, imo.
However, a little dialogue and constructive criticism couldn't hurt, right?

antikristuseke · 02-10-09, 08:54 AM

Agreed, but as it has been demonstrated time and time again, hard liners on both sides tend to be beyond reason.

Anyhow, contructive criticism is good, however, destructive criticism, like this, only makes things worse.

Tchocky · 02-10-09, 09:05 AM

Calling these generalisations is a little generous, I think.

antikristuseke · 02-10-09, 09:48 AM

The way I would prefer to word it would be frowned upon by the moderators

What proves the point on many of these is that one can use this forum as a petri dish. In one discussion I made some arguments regarding "certain" homosexual practices. I kept religion out of it and referenced the appropriate medical sources only to be labled a bigot or homophobic by the "liberals" who roost here. You can pick almost any of the points Subman listed and the ensuing arguments will prove his point.
