Why do people turn into immature a**holes when it comes to politics?

I mean what point does it get at when you are calling people names and having hissy fits like 5 year olds with people that don t agree with you. Is it really THAT difficult to have a smart civil conversation??

    The United States is the only country in the world that has federal laws that legally keeps and socially sees it 18-21 adult demographic as over grown teenagers until they are over 21 years old. Since Americans in the United States by law can't legally drink or maturely adult socialize in pubs, bars, clubs or in any liquor serving venue cafe or restaurant with adult peers. They all still have whats globally known as the immature American high school cheer the team, label, pigeon hole, or the fandom social group stereotyping mentality. Than being able to maturely socialize as an adult with other adult foreign peers. That's why outside the United States most people think American are mentally and socially immature and boorish, just like mentioned in your question.

    As soon as ANY Republican candidate becomes remotely viable the liberals join a hate fest in attacking and demonizing that person.

    For example, look how they attacked Marco Rubio for taking a sip of water when giving a speech.

    And their continued hatred of Sarah Palin and VP Cheney.

    Because people become lobotomized man children. Shills typically have zero ability to have meaningful discussions.

    Democrats, Republicans, Liberals, Conservatives all drink the Kool Aid and are turned stupid.

    I can vouch for a couple of the users who answered your question. Holy Cow is polite and despite out disagreements so is Rockit.

    The top contributors here are generally the most courteous. I have been tested at times but eventually shake off the annoying users here.

    Liberals entire political philosophy begins:

    Immediately attack your opponent with relentless bad rhetoric, name calling, demonization all designed to put opponents on the defensive and rallying anger and resentment against them.

    So are you saying that liberalism is not a mental disorder? Surely you jest?
