Liberals: Whats wrong?

Your smarter than republicans, you have THE FACTS, you know how life and society should be run.

Yet somehow, no one likes you. The democratic party has had a full power hold for 2 years, and now its like all of America is rallying against you.

Perhaps, you can admit you was wrong?

    Like all other human beings, the modern liberal reveals his true character, including his madness, in what he values and devalues, in what he articulates with passion. Of special interest, however, are the many values about which the modern liberal mind is not passionate: his agenda does not insist that the individual is the ultimate economic, social and political unit; it does not idealize individual liberty and the structure of law and order essential to it; it does not defend the basic rights of property and contract; it does not aspire to ideals of authentic autonomy and mutuality; it does not preach an ethic of self-reliance and self-determination; it does not praise courage, forbearance or resilience; it does not celebrate the ethics of consent or the blessings of voluntary cooperation. It does not advocate moral rectitude or understand the critical role of morality in human relating. The liberal agenda does not comprehend an identity of competence, appreciate its importance, or analyze the developmental conditions and social institutions that promote its achievement. The liberal agenda does not understand or recognize personal sovereignty or impose strict limits on coercion by the state. It does not celebrate the genuine altruism of private charity. It does not learn history’s lessons on the evils of collectivism.

    How the heck can you say that "its like all of America is rallying against you" when Democrats still outnumber Republicans! Too much Fox News probably.

    I support a conservative Republican platform Shawn, but I have to tell you that this is an immature question for a non Democrat ..Just how old are you Son?

    Perhaps, you can admit you WAS wrong? What is wrong with this sentence Son? If you've not completed your education, please don't ask immature questions on my party's behalf....

    Perhaps you can admit you was an idiot?

    You Cons are ones no one likes.

    Your're right about one thing though - we are smarter, have the facts, and know how life and society should be run.

    Nothing's wrong, thanks, except the ongoing wimpiness of the party, finally changing a bit these last few weeks.

    Fun fact: The latest Gallup poll shows favorability ratings are *exactly equal* for the Democratic and Republican parties: 44%.

    Often times, the truth hurts, and makes those that possess the truth not very likable to those who relish in the bliss of ignorance. Alas, we would be no better than the tea party mendicants if we where to relinquish the gift of knowledge and reason in favor of being in the good graces of the nescient.

    "Perhaps, you can admit you was wrong?"

    Majority disagreement does not mean that anyone is "wrong." It's called a PERSPECTIVE.

    And besides, where are you getting these "statistics"? What do you mean "no one likes you"? No one's rallying against us. Just a few stupid Tea Partiers who barely know what they stand for.

    I don't care if I'm the last Liberal in America. I will never give up my ideals.

    It isn't a "liberal" "conservative" thing. Both partys are greedy, selfish a**'s that care nothing for anything but themselves and whether their party is going to get in next time.

    I guess you meant to say "You're." Mostly we're doing good. And not all of America is against us. Especially not the President.

  • We like us and there are more of us than there are of you. I don't really care if people don't like me because of my political ideals. I don't want anything to do with someone like that.
