liberals remind me of a bad remake of revenge of the nerds, the same tactics used by liberals can see seen everyday in our local school systems, frustrated little whiners scurying around the halls dominated by the popular strong and well liked, these social inadequetes dive into a fantasy world of computers and games that make them feel better, talking bad about the people they wish they could be. most liberals only worship themselves becuase they believe themself to be all knowing, empowered by the internet, and the ability to group up and share there far fetched conspiracy thoeries. hating representations of the strong and powerful

ex: bush, republicans, jocks, america

becuase of there own short commings.

and with political correctness we cant call these people what they really are and we are forced to listen to there bullshit without smacking them down.

has anyone else noticed this?

I consider myself a liberal, so I think I should talk a bit about how I see things.



I disagree that liberals hate representations of the strong and powerful. Power by itself is not a bad thing, it's the way in which power is used which is worrying. Let's take the invasion of Iraq, for example. The Bush administration justified the invasion on the grounds that Iraq posed an imminent danger to the United States by providing a fertile ground for terrorists (may or may not be true, although there are other nations which are known to be "friendly" to known terrorists) and by having access to weapons of mass destruction.



The trouble with this scenario is that weapons of mass destruction have not yet been found and there doesn't seem to be a concerted effort to actually find them.



To me, this indicates that the justifications that were used originally were not entirely true and that's what concerns liberals like myself. Of course, we can't deny that Saddam's regime was a repressive, evil one that should have been stopped for the good of the Iraqi people but why couldn't the Bush administration tried to justify an invasion on those grounds? A good well-reasoned argument for that would have probably gained a lot more support both from the American people and the international community.



On the other hand, I do think that conservatives have good reasons to dislike liberals. The liberal way of doing things means that we aren't particularly good at taking swift, decisive action when it may (or may not) be needed. We tend to prioritise things like discussions and debates which, to be fair, tends to give air time to extremists who try to subvert the discussion to their own needs, i.e. you will always have those who very vocally bash dissenting (or "conservative") opinions to advance their own agendas. But that really is more of a common human failing than one of "liberals" or "conservatives".



It saddens me that we have to divide ourselves into such diametrically opposing camps like the way we do today. Why don't we just focus on the things that we all agree on - we all want peace and stability in the wider world, we want economic and social justice and prosperity, and we all want to have the freedoms afforded to us and enshrined in whatever documents have legal and moral weight?

No. What I have noticed is how they have successfully prevented the United States from intervening in various genocides over the years.



Liberals are not weak, delusional, lost people. They are highly evil, highly competent monsters with incredible amounts of money and political power, and oceans of blood on their hands.



If we don't do something about them, the United States is in very real danger of going the route of Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union.

I have come to realize, over time, that no one side has all the answers, But to descend into this sneering kind of hateful rant really doesn't advance an ideological point of view. It is just as unimpressive and tactless when the liberals (that you have so much contempt for) engage in it

As can be seen in some of the responses in this particular topic, when they have no ideas to present, they resort to name calling and belittling others who do not agree with them. That is quite an accomplishment.. I still have difficulty understanding how they can be against everything. Yet have nothing constructive to offer.

Yep. Liberals (leftists actually) believe that the goal should be equality of outcome not equality of opportunity. Instead of trying to make a world where everyone is happy, they have given up and are trying to make everyone equally miserable.

I knew from your heading you were fu**ed up.

You don't understand anything correctly.

Who warped your mind?

Why shouldn't we smack you down?

Don't liberals hate @ssholes like you?



I'm afraid for our country with so many hateful brainwashed neo-cons who try to divide our country for their own evil purposes.

Liberals tend to care about people not Political ideas.

Jon Stuart is a much nicer guy than Rush limberg.

Liberals are lovers.

conservatives are haters.

Love is good

Hate is bad.

Check it out in the bible.



Read this if you want something to rant about.

I always wanted to do one of those answers so long that nobody reads them. I don't agree with all of it but we can let the congress sift through the charges.

of



President George W. Bush



and



Vice President Richard B. Cheney,

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice,

Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld, and

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales



The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors. - - ARTICLE II, SECTION 4 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA



President George W. Bush, Vice President Richard B. Cheney, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld, and Attorney General Alberto Gonzales have committed violations and subversions of the Constitution of the United States of America in an attempt to carry out with impunity crimes against peace and humanity and war crimes and deprivations of the civil rights of the people of the United States and other nations, by assuming powers of an imperial executive unaccountable to law and usurping powers of the Congress, the Judiciary and those reserved to the people of the United States, by the following acts:



1) Seizing power to wage wars of aggression in defiance of the U.S. Constitution, the U.N. Charter and the rule of law; carrying out a massive assault on and occupation of Iraq, a country that was not threatening the United States, resulting in the death and maiming of over one hundred thousand Iraqis, and thousands of U.S. G.I.s.



2) Lying to the people of the U.S., to Congress, and to the U.N., providing false and deceptive rationales for war.



3) Authorizing, ordering and condoning direct attacks on civilians, civilian facilities and locations where civilian casualties were unavoidable.



4) Instituting a secret and illegal wiretapping and spying operation against the people of the United States through the National Security Agency.



5) Threatening the independence and sovereignty of Iraq by belligerently changing its government by force and assaulting Iraq in a war of aggression.



6) Authorizing, ordering and condoning assassinations, summary executions, kidnappings, secret and other illegal detentions of individuals, torture and physical and psychological coercion of prisoners to obtain false statements concerning acts and intentions of governments and individuals and violating within the United States, and by authorizing U.S. forces and agents elsewhere, the rights of individuals under the First, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Eighth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.



7) Making, ordering and condoning false statements and propaganda about the conduct of foreign governments and individuals and acts by U.S. government personnel; manipulating the media and foreign governments with false information; concealing information vital to public discussion and informed judgment concerning acts, intentions and possession, or efforts to obtain weapons of mass destruction in order to falsely create a climate of fear and destroy opposition to U.S. wars of aggression and first strike attacks.



8) Violations and subversions of the Charter of the United Nations and international law, both a part of the "Supreme Law of the land" under Article VI, paragraph 2, of the Constitution, in an attempt to commit with impunity crimes against peace and humanity and war crimes in wars and threats of aggression against Afghanistan, Iraq and others and usurping powers of the United Nations and the peoples of its nations by bribery, coercion and other corrupt acts and by rejecting treaties, committing treaty violations, and frustrating compliance with treaties in order to destroy any means by which international law and institutions can prevent, affect, or adjudicate the exercise of U.S. military and economic power against the international community.



9) Acting to strip United States citizens of their constitutional and human rights, ordering indefinite detention of citizens, without access to counsel, without charge, and without opportunity to appear before a civil judicial officer to challenge the detention, based solely on the discretionary designation by the Executive of a citizen as an "enemy combatant."



10) Ordering indefinite detention of non-citizens in the United States and elsewhere, and without charge, at the discretionary designation of the Attorney General or the Secretary of Defense.



11) Ordering and authorizing the Attorney General to override judicial orders of release of detainees under INS jurisdiction, even where the judicial officer after full hearing determines a detainee is wrongfully held by the government.



12) Authorizing secret military tribunals and summary execution of persons who are not citizens who are designated solely at the discretion of the Executive who acts as indicting official, prosecutor and as the only avenue of appellate relief.



13) Refusing to provide public disclosure of the identities and locations of persons who have been arrested, detained and imprisoned by the U.S. government in the United States, including in response to Congressional inquiry.



14) Use of secret arrests of persons within the United States and elsewhere and denial of the right to public trials.



15) Authorizing the monitoring of confidential attorney-client privileged communications by the government, even in the absence of a court order and even where an incarcerated person has not been charged with a crime.



16) Ordering and authorizing the seizure of assets of persons in the United States, prior to hearing or trial, for lawful or innocent association with any entity that at the discretionary designation of the Executive has been deemed "terrorist."



17) Engaging in criminal neglect in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, depriving thousands of people in Louisiana, Mississippi and other Gulf States of urgently needed support, causing mass suffering and unnecessary loss of life.



18) Institutionalization of racial and religious profiling and authorization of domestic spying by federal law enforcement on persons based on their engagement in noncriminal religious and political activity.



19) Refusal to provide information and records necessary and appropriate for the constitutional right of legislative oversight of executive functions.



20) Rejecting treaties protective of peace and human rights and abrogation of the obligations of the United States under, and withdrawal from, international treaties and obligations without consent of the legislative branch, and including termination of the ABM treaty between the United States and Russia, and rescission of the authorizing signature from the Treaty of Rome which served as the basis for the International Criminal Court.
