I didn't read all of these, but I read most of them. Not a single one could be considered "intellectually serious". These are just soundbites, insults, innuendo and rhetoric. Each is an attempt to say "I'm a better/smarter/more moral person than those Republicans are."

Liberals don't deal with ideas. They deal only with self-affirmation.

It is what it is! Liberals are not very smart and must tell lies to “prove their position”. In other words, liberal live in another reality. Their existence is some sort of weird parallel universe where things are freaky and the world is turned up side down.

I do this because I enjoy ripping apart liberal articles as a mental exercise.

Not too much exercise in dismissing this POS. Lies, sound bites, and slogans do not an argument make.

You might be a liberal if....

you found any evidence of logic, reason, or critical thinking on that page.

No, I did not read them all. I try not to annoy myself more than is absolutely necessary.

This is the one I find most particularly irritating: You believe that those privileged from birth achieve success all on their own, and that those who are born to poverty and never have opportunities for advancement, got what they deserved.

That one seems to be predicated on the belief that everyone who is successful has been "privileged from birth" while those "born to poverty" are stuck there forever. That is wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong!!

I am not on anybody's millionaire list, but I am considerably higher up the ladder than where I was born. (I was, in fact, "born to poverty.") I didn't get much, if anything, in the way of government handouts, and the biggest "hand up" I ever got was in the form of a scholarship awarded by one of those nasty capitalistic profit-driven private sector companies (for which I will forever be grateful). I firmly believe that many people don't lack the opportunity for advancement; they turn their backs on opportunities because they come disguised as work.

I also know I am by no means the only person in the US in my position.

I reject the premise that being born with a particular skin pigmentation dictates whether or not one was "born to privilege" and has the opportunity to succeed!

Stepping off the soap box now!
