I can't wait until the hippies die off and the kids grow up.

"I can't wait until the hippies die off and the kids grow up."

I will be SO GLAD when the damned 60's are finally over. Unfortunately it may not be in my lifetime. The 60's were like a plague on any kind of rational thinking.

I habitually put the word "liberal" in quotes because they are perpetually anything but.

They aren't even "liberal" any longer...just left wing.

I mean, it's not "liberal" to ban smoking in restaurants. It's not liberal to ban praying on **public** sidewalks in front of abortion clinics. It's not liberal to want to ban our firearms. It's not liberal to want to ban hunting. It's not liberal to want to ban new home construction (you know, that so-called "urban sprawl"). It's not liberal to ban our military from recruiting on a college campus. It's not liberal to label all non-pro-gay utterances as "hate speech" and then ban it. It's not liberal to ban individuals from driving in special highway lanes (HOV).

It's old-fashioned Stalinism wrapped with faces too young to know the old monster.

"One who is polically speaking, party neutral.

Which explains why they're all democrats. Lincoln Chafee excepted.

One who examines both sides of an issue before making a stance,

Yes, the rest of us only listen to ONE side. (How does one get one side of an issue--say, a war? They hear the US is going to war and just say "Good! I approve!" even if later they find out it's a war with Antarctica? Or taxes--if one hears of a tax raise, are they just FOR it, or do they think "Hmm, less money for food and clothes..."

Nope--this is just another self-ennobling liberal nothingness. Begin ANY issue with the words "President Bush supports--" and see how willing a liberal is to "examine both sides of an issue."

BTW--funny how the folks who are always seeing "shades of gray" here say there are only TWO sides to any issue...

and also will re-examine their stance upon presentation of new evidence.

More self-loving crap. Or has this fool not seen the conservative lashing W got for his Harriet Miers pick, something those who supported all of W's judicial appointments up to now wouldn't have done if he wasn't willing to re-examine his stance, which EVERYONE does. If it turned out tomorrow that we had solid evidence that we've lost 4 million Americans in Iraq and that Russia was behind 9-11, we sure would be re-examining our stance on the war.

A liberals views are not limited by bigotry,

LOL!!!!!Oh, that was a good one. Please look at how the libs react to Ken Blackwell...Clarence Thomas...Israel... SAUDIS..."Neo-Cons"... Jews... Christians. All of the liberal views are positively caged by their bigoted views of how "proper" blacks, Jews, etc. had better behave.

tradition,

Communist tradition--or "African"/It Takes A Village/ Wicca tradition?

dogma,

Blah blah blah, what a nothing sentiment. (Communist Manifesto and the writings of Andrea Dworkin and the secularists not being dogma, of course.

tradtion, etc.

There is no liberal tradition? That's not even worth making a joke about. FDR is such a saint to these people that you don't dare TALK about Social Security, so sacred is it.

They are based on the results of their own observations and investigations into a subject from as many sides as possible.

This person is bending over backwards flattering himself so much he's now able to kiss his own ass. ALL thinking creatures do--that has nothing to do with "liberalism". And yet, I wonder how often these liberals consult the RNC website for "as many sides as possible". Or a Bible. (And I'm an agnostic, btw.)

While the liberal prefers to use logic over emotion,

I really REALLY can't read this stuff while sipping a drink. Oh, wow, that was a good one. Has there ever been a liberal who in debate DOESN'T descend to "But don't you CARE about..." and such phrases as "mean-spirited" and "hate crime," all of which are about injecting emotion into discussions of reason and fact?

it does not mean he is without a heart. A liberal is just a capable of compassion as another man. He only tries to avoid the irrationality that can result from stong emotions."

That must explain the call (posted here tonight) for libs to show up ad bang pots and pans outside the State of the Union speech--because that gawdawful noise will carry the facts and figures that will contradict the President's points.

BTW, I found an intelligent liberal on that page--scroll down to #20.

I don't agree with his politics, but he makes an interesting point about libs on the internet.

My longstanding definition of a "moderate" is directly tied to this thread:

Moderate (N): a liberal that lacks the courage of his convictions. Origin: coastal United States popular press and parts of Arizona.

well, here's how one liberal that managed to chew through the leather straps puts it:

You owe me a new monitor damn it!!

A liberals views are not limited by bigotry, tradition, dogma, tradtion, etc.

With tradition being mentioned twice because it's so...traditional? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!

I have a t-shirt and the writing looks like a dictionary entry for the word liberal - a person so open-minded that their brain has fallen out.

"While the liberal prefers to use logic over emotion"

ROFLMAO. I just can't believe this. I always put the word "liberal" in quotes because they are always anything but.

No one is nastier, meaner or more of dumb ass hypocrit than a "liberal". All closet and crypto intolerant fascists.

A lot of good funny comments here.

I too will be SO GLAD when the damn, stupid 60's are finally over, and I had a good time in the 60's.
