How Modern Liberals Think

[Yahoshua]

Who Am I?

I don’t believe in the concept of evil,

But I think the Bush administration is evil.

I care more about getting my social security and Medicare

Than I care about genocidal dictators.

I weep for whales and dying animals,

But I am unconvinced of the goodness and global necessity of freedom;

even after mass graves are discovered.

I want world peace,

But I’m not willing to export freedom.

Despite the success of the war against terrorism in Afghanistan and Iraq;

Despite the success of the tax cuts and the rebounding economy,

I will continue to undermine the Bush Administration.

I still believe in moral relativism,

Even after 9/11.

I care more about what the rest of the world thinks of America

Than I do about the United States' national security.

I will say nothing, do nothing, and be nothing

In the name of tolerance

And in order to avoid serious confrontation.

I support troops

Who are following orders I do not agree with.

I think all fighting is wrong,

Even when its fighting to stop bad guys.

I care more about the mental and emotional scarring of a few Iraqi rebels

Than I do about the rape of Jessica Walker Lynch

Or the murder, burning, and sexual mutilation of four American civilians by Iraqis.

I care more about the mistreatment of a few Iraqi rebels

Than the worse atrocities John Kerry has admitted to committing.

I value all life,

Even the lives of villains.

I don't think all Islam is bad because what a few bad Muslims did on 9/11,

But I do think all of the U.S. Military is bad because of a few misbehaving reservists.

I love all humanity,

But I hate people in general.

I believe in democracy,

But I'm afraid of voters.

I want more jobs,

But I hate capitalism.

I'm for multinationalism,

But I'm against outsourcing American jobs.

I celebrate Cinco de Mayo,

But I hate Columbus Day.

I think everybody should be educated about Islam,

But whenever somebody mentions Christianity I gag.

I want to save whales and protect the environment,

But I support a woman’s right to kill her babies.

I think having a high I.Q. and an appreciation of art

Makes me morally wise.

I question authority,

And I can’t keep a job.

I question reality,

And I struggle with depression and suicide.

I am an adult,

But I have the world view of a 14 year old girl.

I am bulging with morality

In all the wrong places.

I am the liberal mind.

[cobalt]

A couple of quotes which made me laugh out loud before I shut this off, "How could you live in the least imperialist power in history and see us the ultimate in imperialism". And "the democrats are wrong on every issue"

Some people are such bigots.

Incase you don't notice, you're on a public message board and other peoples politcal views are tolerated (sometimes...actually, no they're not, Nvm)

Very true, Wxman. This piece ultimately details everything liberals believe, but at the same time, everything they want you to think they believe. The biggest one for me is they believe they're patriotic, and are desperate for you to believe it as well, yet they do everything they can to undermine their own nation during a time of war.

By openly supporting the end of the war by advocating pulling of the funding? By calling the CINC of our military "Hitler"? By making false claims regarding the reasonings for the war? By repeatedly telling us how this war is "unwinnable" despite our military still fighting for victory (propaganda victory for the enemy here)? And so on...

But I'm sure most Liberals have redefined the word "patriotism" to fit their anti-military, anti-American points of view. Some of us still remember what the words loyalty, honor, and patriotism mean. Some of us still remember what treason, and traitor mean also. Just because liberals want to change the meanings of words to fit their views, doesn't mean they can. If you want to be called patriotic, you have to act the part.

I think this is exactly he type of thread NEal is talking about in the thread about the possible ban on political discussions here. Nothing but partisna hackery and hate mongering. "The other side disagree's, therefeore are unpatriotic." Complete drivel.

If that's your idea of how the average liberal is approaching the problems we face, it just goes to show that you really are very uneducated about just who you are talking about. And, again, it's a complete snooze. I'm starting to think this is all the hard liners have left, being that their flagship administration is nothing but a collage of failure and scandal. Nothing left to do but attack the other party. Well, it's a fight you are losing, as you learned in November. You can call people who oppose your views whatever you want, but it's those very people who voted in November and sent your tough guy, uncompromising, hard line, "with us or against us" asses out of office, and will do so again in '08.

The most unpatriotic thing one can do is sit around telling those who disagree with you that they are unpatriotic. It's also nothing short of a dead dog's trick at this point, one in which, I admit, the republicans play well.

I thinj your political views are crazy. But I dont think you do not love your country, and I dont think you arent a patriot, and I dont choose to dislike you personally for it. I guess thats the difference between you and me.

Enigma about said it all. I don't even have to add anything.

I hate to be a one beat drum over this, but lets dump the 'general topics' part of the forum completely.

Yes, wipe the problems under the carpet and everything will be fine ..

Why are Americans so opposed to discussing the serious, controversial issues like religion, politics etc. ??

If we were only talking about nice things, would that make the rift between left and right dissappear?

Even if somebody stands on a extreme side, if he posts his extreme views and provokes it could still mean he will learn just that little bit about the other side. As long as an opinion is provocative but not insulting, what is the problem?

Because they know that they're wrong, but since it's from their illusions that they draw their identity from, shattering these illusions is considered as a personal attack, which it really is if their "person" is nothing but fantasies in a bubble. You're not denying a mistake, you're negating their existence.

Yeah that's it. Good thing we have you foreigners to tell us how we should think...
