Why It's Good To Be A Liberal

If you do all of that, there will be just a few more restrictions we'll put on you to make sure you're safe.

See what I mean? I told you conservatives were pissed off cause were having all the good sex. Here's the proof this diatribe from a guy who's been laid once.

I somewhat hate liberals for rejecting my God and traditional American principles such as Natural Law. That's about it. You can pretend all you want, but remember, the conservative point of reference is not sex, its spirituality. For us, sex just happens, like anything else. You have only materialism, with nothing to look forward to.

My religion teaches me that I should care for you, and try to win you over, but you're just not worth my time, Mott. One day, when I am older and wiser, I will no longer hate you, because I will have mastered my feelings and truly stopped caring. For now, you can enjoy needling the short supply of empathy left in me for you, if it amuses.

I know why it's good to be a liberal.... You never have to take responsibility for anything, you can always find someone else to blame, you never have to face the consequences of your actions, you need no personal responsibility whatsoever, and you can take multiple sides of any issue because you have no principles or core values to uphold. You never have to worry about being ethical or moral, and you can always find something to be the "victim" of, especially if you are a minority. You don't have to worry about keeping up with the issues, because you will vote in lockstep with the other liberals, doesn't matter what the issues are. You always know who to hate and you always have a target in Conservatives, again, regardless of the issue. But the best part is, you get to spend other people's money wildly on frivolous shit we don't really need.

Damn... almost makes me want to be a Liberal!

You religion is a comic book and has no place in politics.

A song by Mott the Hoople (uhhhh sorry Mac!)

Oh Lord it's hard to be conservative
When you're dull in every way.
I dread to look in the mirror
Cause I keep getting grayer each day

To know me is to despise me
I must be one jerk of a man
Oh Lord it's hard to be conservative
When your a mean spirited Republican

I used to have a wife
but she just couldn't compete
with all the right wing flyers
crumpled in balls at my feet.

Well I could probably find another
but I guess their all scared of my company
Who cares, I never get lonesome
When I have Rush Limbaugh talking to me.

OH Lord it's hard to be conservative
when your dull in every way.
I dread to look in the mirror
Cause I keep getting grayer each day.

To know me is to despise me
I must be one jerk of a man
Oh Lord it's hard to be conservative
When your a mean spirited Republican.

I guess I could be a blogger
A spin doctor shrill and loud
I could have lots of dittoheads follow me
and George W Bush would be proud.

Some folks say I'm a reactionary,
Hell I don't even know what that means.
I guess it must have something to do
With my building a wayback machine.

OH Lord it's hard to be conservative
when your dull in every way.
I dread to look in the mirror
Cause I keep getting grayer each day.

To know me is to despise me
I must be one jerk of a man
Oh Lord it's hard to be conservative
When I'm a mean spirited Republican.
Where all mean Spirited Republicans!

You can advocate caps on your responsability for just about anything and your party will support you.

Have you apologized yet for helping to lie us into the Iraq fiasco, and being responsible for the untimely deaths of hundreds of thousands of people?

and you can take multiple sides of any issue because you have no principles or core values to uphold.

Outstanding! This is comedy gold coming from the dude who wrote a love poem about Shrub, and later claimed to have "never really supported Bush".

Hey man, speaking of having no principles, isn't there a thread on here where in the course of less than an hour you went from saying the BP oil spill wasn't that big of a problem - to saying that it was "Obama's Katrina", a disaster of epic and historic proportions?

You never have to worry about being ethical or moral, and you can always find something to be the "victim" of, especially if you are a minority. You don't have to worry about keeping up with the issues, because you will vote in lockstep with the other liberals, doesn't matter what the issues are.

It's true....I always vote for the most viable liberal candidate that is available to me, I hate being white, and I'm prone to concerning myself with dolphin hugger shit like the environment, equality, and egalitarianism. And true to my communist roots I maintain the outrageous premise that public tax dollars should be spend on healthcare and infrastructure rather than war and defense contractors.

But, it would be awesome to hear of your non-partisan and free-thinking adventures: Who was the last democratic candidate for president you voted for?

And also can you please stop whining and begging liberals to take rightwing ideology serious, to stop "hating you", and pleading with liberals to respect you; get some self esteem, man!

Apparently the Democratic Party, the listening program was expanded under this administration. Finally even the ACLU is getting it. All the things I disliked about Bush this guy has expanded and made worse.

Sorry, you'd never pass the test. :cool:
 
Excellent post Mott. I need to go back and see if the reactionary conservatives have had a thought, doubtful.



"Liberals believe individuals should doubt their own truths and consider fairly and open-mindedly the truths of others. This is at the very heart of liberalism. Liberals understand, as Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes once observed, that "time has upset many fighting faiths." Liberals are skeptical of censorship and celebrate free and open debate." Geoffrey R. Stone


Best book on conservatives: http://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog/HIRRHE.html?show=reviews


"Liberals demand that the social order should in principle be capable of explaining itself at the tribunal of each person's understanding." Jeremy Waldron
