The following are based on my observations of posts and comments by liberals on the web, especially this site.

1. Liberals invariably charge their critics with the straw man fallacy, no matter how tight the fit between the criticism and the words and deeds of real liberals.

2. Liberals are quick to distance themselves from their wacko spokesman (Michael Moore, Ward Churchill) whenever these spokesman are attacked by the right, but liberals will never initiate such criticism, holding fast to the maxim of pas d'enemi gauche.

3. Liberals love to play hard-ball politics, until they get beaned themselves.

4. Liberals complain incessantly that conservatives don't know or understand them yet have never spent more than five minutes listening to conservatives or reading their works.

5. Liberals are apt to label conservatives hateful, confusing vigorous rebuttal of liberal thought with personal attacks on liberals themselves.

6. Liberals make extremely intemperate remarks, while holding conservatives to a standard of politeness so stringent as to make Emily Post squirm with anxiety.

7. Liberals never bother to check their facts, since they know that only ignoramuses disagree with them.

8. Liberals are boring, since all they ever have to say is "yada, yada, yada, yada,..." [Sorry, I stopped listening after the second 'yada'.]

9. Liberals object vehemently to any attempt by conservatives to make generalizations about liberals, no matter how apt the generalization might be.

10. Liberals have absolutely no sense of humor. They never laugh -- they only smirk.

I am laughing at you and all you insanely idiotic statements. That must disprove any and all of you ludicrous allegations.

How sad. You are a sad paranoid person. Please stay by your computer and rage against the world. It is safer for you and us out here in the real world.

   

Oh, we laugh. We laugh at Conservatives a lot.

   

I always thoguht it was the other way around,

I laugh.....

   

Switch "Liberal" with "Conservative" and the post would be equally true.

   

Many of those things could be said of anyone in the world, but no particular group in general.

   

I really don't get 10.

We only smirk?



Personally, I laugh,

   

This sounds like a True or False game! Let's play!

True.



True.



False.



False.



True.



False.



True.



False.



True.



False.

How many points do I get?










But the fun's not over yet, since we can still make parallels to the conservatives. I'll keep the thematic associated with the number!

1. Conservatives constantly will call their Liberal critics cowards, anti-patriotic or a play on any theme linked to defense of national traditions, no matter how far from the truth that is.

2. Conservatives don't distance themselves from their wacko spokesmen. Why would they need to? These lunatics's bullshit is often enough to convince uninformed, until then non-partial people to side with the Right.

3. Conservatives love to play hard-ball politics since they know they can't lose - after all, if they do, they can simply bring out some hateful rhetoric to make the opposing view look oh-so-evil and, you'll have guessed, rally both their base and the supposedly non-partials.

4. Conservatives attempt to make themselves look fair and unbiased by gathering large amounts of info on Liberal thoughts but then immediately discard them and bring back their good old and ever so effective rhetoric.

5. Conservatives don't need to defend from personnal attacks originating from a Liberal : they make the first steps. Offense's the best defense, no?

6. Conservatives make extremely intemperate remarks but don't need the Liberals to do the opposite : after all, they know the Right wins flame fests more often than not through sheer stubborness.

7. Conservatives do bother to back their opinion with links and all that stuff... since they know it's often so backwards they'll look like idiots if they don't prove someone else thought that before they did.

8. Conservatives are highly entertaining, listening to them ranting is like watching Wrestling or Jerry Springer. (On the other hand, Stephen Harper.)

9. Conservatives don't need to defend against generalizations since they can always counter them with more ridiculous generalizations about Liberals - which eventually leads in a flame war, which is the playground of the right.

10. Conservatives are walking jokes.






Now I'm perfectly all this post, be it what I quoted or what I wrote, is complete bullshit. But eh, we can have fun with it now! We all know these kinds of things are funny for both sides since we can be two to play the game. Come on people, post other facts, we all know this is just a big joke anyway.

   

You might be a Liberal:

# If you think the answer to ANY crime, infraction, or injustice is counseling.

# If you've spent no less than 30 years in the walls of academia and don't see how today could be too much different from the '60s.

# If you think the criminal has more rights than the police who arrest this criminal, unless the crime is sexual harassment, or racism.

# If you use the term 'open-minded' and don't care that it can't be defined in absolute terms.

# If you think only white people can be racist.

# If you think that teenager's sexual behavior is uncontrollable, but hardened violent criminals should be released on parole after serving a cut sentence in a "correctional institution".

# If you think that the Constitution is a living document and should be changed but the writings of Karl Marx are "written in stone".

# If you think burning the Canadian flag should be Constitutionally protected but burning a cross should be outlawed.

# If you think that tax cuts hurt poor people and are uncompassionate but taking 30% from their paychecks is compassionate

# If your idea of hell is having to mind your own business and not meddle in other people's lives.

# If you believe that posting the "Ten Commandments" in schools will hurt the children, but putting "Heather Has Two Mommies" or "Ask Alice" won't.

# if you think that conservatives have no sense of humor then shudder at the idea of a Chretien joke.

# If you believe that Columbus is a mean-spirit bringer of genocide, and never should have explored to the new world, which meant that no one would have religious or taxation freedom whatsoever.

# If you don't want the Christian Right imposing their morality on you, but you want to impose big government on everyone else because they won't do the right thing.

# You're a liberal if you can't see the irony in your own beliefs.

# If you believe Peter Jennings is a very educated and intelligent man.

# If you can actually believe everyone around Paul Martin is lying, but Paul Martin himself is telling the truth.

# If you think that the only acceptable hate crime is Christian bashing.

# If you think Princess Diana was compassionate for hugging poor children and children with AIDS (while "forgetting" about her getting in her limo and driving away) but Mother Teresa makes you uncomfortable.

# If you think that people need to be punished for good choices and rewarded for bad ones.

# You're a liberal if you think what Hitler did to the Jews is horrible but the "Christian Right" is dangerous and needs to be done away with.

# If you don't see the parallel between yourself, Adolph Hitler, Josef Stalin and Chairman Mao.

# If you think the best way to care about a disease is to wear a ribbon.

# If you think that pouring blood on a $1,500 fur coat is a sure-fire way to get your message across, but if anyone protests outside an abortion clinic, they're extremists!

# If you believe any of the conspiracies such as that the AIDS virus was started by the government or that certain products cause sterility in black males, but think "The X-files" is too far fetched.

# If you use the words "right wing extremist" at least four times in any given day.

# If you think that the four cops who beat Rodney King should have been thrown in jail forever, but the four thugs who beat Reginald Denny should have fair justice.

# You called Vietnam Veterans "baby killers" but think that allowing a woman to suck her baby into a sink is a constitutionally protected right.

# You think that Joe Camel and big tobacco are out to kill your babies, but allowing a babies brain to be sucked out of its skull when it's 1/3 of the way out of the birth canal is paramount to a free society.

# You think sexual harassment is rampant, date rape pervasive, and domestic violence common.

# You pale at the execution of child killers, but defend the killing of unborn children as an expression of choice.

# You think trees have feelings, animals can conceptualize and the fetus is a blob of protoplasm.

# You wear a red ribbon to show your support for a cure for AIDS but oppose all animal experimentation needed to find that cure

# If you hear a news report of a man beat nearly to death because he is a minority or gay and you rally about punishing the bigot who committed the terrible act BUT, if you hear a news report of a man beat nearly to death for his money, and you start talking about the poor disadvantaged person who is forced to commit such acts to survive.

# You are convinced that Frank Capra films and Norman Rockwell paintings are lies and distortions but "Platoon," "Dances with Wolves" and "Thelma and Louise" are realistic.

# You think a moment of silent prayer at the beginning of the school day constitutes government indoctrination and an intrusion on parental authority, while sex education, condom distribution and multiculturalism are values-neutral.

# You agonize over threats to the natural environment (acid rain, toxic waste) but are oblivious to threats to the social environment (pornography, promiscuity, and family dissolution).

# You want to outlaw cigarrettes and legalize marijuana

# You want to legalize cocaine and outlaw handguns. You think cops are pigs and criminals are products of their environment.

# You believe corporate profits are obscene but government spending is too low and the American people are undertaxed.

# You see cartoons condemning religions and making fun of Christianity as funny and an expression of free speech, but think the cartoon B.C. should be banned.

# You think deficits are caused by tax loopholes.

# You think AIDS is spread by insufficient funding.

# You consider the Catholic bishops noble and idealistic when they oppose capital punishment and welfare cuts but dangerous fanatics trying to legislate their theology when they defend the right to life.

# You attribute every minority problem to entrenched, institutional racism and the legacies of slavery and segregation.

# You view race riots as justifiable expressions of rage over injustice and fail to see the similarities between a black mob burning a Korean store and a white mob in the Jim Crow era lynching a black man.

# You don't understand all of the whining about affirmative action and are more than willing to sacrifice someone else's employment or education opportunity to assuage your guilt.

   

Funny thing GFPB, I know for a fact that my Mom(the "M" word that brings C71) is a staunch Liberal, yet she disagrees with roughly half of the stuff you mentioned. Why do you suppose that it?

Might it be, for some strange reason, utter bullshit?


Please get it right. Only extremist Liberals firmly believe 100% of the tripe you just spewed.

   

Let the man have his fun, Arctic.

   

   

   

Well, that solves that. I'm not a Liberal.

   

Number 10, debunked.

GFPB, reference to other posts that Cons have made, I have laughed. I just don't laugh at attempts like yours...
