Haha, liberalism does not contribute to this . This is what happens when somebody is angry; they bring up issues that will aid them in winning the argument, but may not have anything to do with the situation at hand. Anybody on this forum should know what it is like dealing with somebody who will use any argument to get their desired result. However, reparations for African-Americans (in some sort of logical way) should happen to fix the "hidden" PTSD most are going through after many years of inconsistencies & no true payment for sins committed upon them...i.e. the Native American treatment .

Liberalism is about making people angry, division, class struggle, etc. Sadly, AA's didn't have these issues at the turn of the 20th century-they had higher marriage rates and higher employment rates than whites. It was the DuBois crowd, and racist democrat policies (Jim Crow, KKK, union laws, etc) that brought so much misery to blacks-followed by the lefts attempt at "reparations" known as wellfare and the war on poverty-which just made things worse-theres nothing kind about robbing people of their initiative and making them dependent. This is seen in other parts of the world as well.

It's a good thing you would never say something like "I know how democrats can be," because you don't generalize. You'd say "certain democrats may be this way," but you are so very, very good and tactful when discussing some people who may belong to one political party. Or they don't. Life is made of many colors! Unfortunately, somebody keeps hacking into your account and posting blatantly incorrect generalizations about liberals. Better change your password, you wouldn't want somebody thinking that you're uneducated, judgmental and hopelessly biased.

You probably shouldn't start threads if your typical response to a question is "I have never said what you're saying I said, although what you're saying I said is true."

Not my argument. Reagan cut his teeth speaking to crowds while supporting Goldwater, and he knew from his years in Hollywood how socialists and communists could be-in fact he never forgot and it came in handy when he was governor. He even called out commies at cal that had been agitators when he was coming up in hollywood. :cool:

So? The mainstream part of Occupy was liberal, but it had anti-capitalist roots before mainstream social liberalism hijacked it.

Anti Capitalism is a mainstream leftist view. Yes-that includes socialism, etc. And it was a cornerstone of the occupy movement-interspersed amongst the rapes and murders, that is.

Looks like she's anti immigration and is blabbering on about the free market.

I think her problem is she's too Conservative.

If you think thats the problem, you might be a far left liberal.

I dont see conservatives demanding freebies, reparations, blaming others, and being entitled.

Wrong, and you know it. Part of being on the left is your belief in the ends justify the means, which essentially means lie if need be. Stop spreading disinformation!

I'm not wrong, I am correct.

The Klan is/was socially conservative.

Neither Wing holds a monopoly on any of these traits. But to suggest the KKK were Lefties betrays an utter ignorance of the most fundamental and abiding political definitions. You've basically re-written every contemporary political syllabus, the world over. You're probably one of those guys who believes Hitler was a Socialist.

I lay this right at the feet of the leftist, you guys own this. She essentially covers all your talking points from victimization too xenophobia. This is the fruits of your labor.

This post is ironic. You hit all the conservative talking points about the left. It's nice to see that you follow your agenda to the letter.

And yet, these are all things that come from the right. You seem confused.

They do come from the left too, but the notion that those are sole province of the left is simply absurd.

Of course they come from the left too... the hyperpartisan left, just like the hyperpartisan right, which is what he is and how he was posting.

If you think the right doesn't espouse any of those as well, then you've either imbibed too much right wing kool-aid or you're hopelessly naive. The "Bias In The Media" subforum here is basically nothing but a right-wing victimhood circlejerk.

Two more: the people who cry that Mitt Romney only lost because of "character assassination," rather than his wholly dishonest slander of nearly half the electorate.

Hollywood is against them. The media is against them. Academia is against them. Scientists are against them. "Elites" are against them. Intelligentsia are against them. Government is against them. And these guys have the balls to complain that it's the "left" that has a victim complex? Pretty much everything the nutters do is bitch about who wronged them lately.

America is a center right country-and moving further right, the elite are left wing.

Lol. Lol. Lol.

Please tell me how the country is moving further right, and while you're at it, explain to me how there are no "elite" right-wingers. This should be good for a giggle or two.

It's the "gotcha questions", like "what do you read?" Only a meanie liberal with an agenda would blindside a VP candidate with that one.
