You are so right! I have couple of liberal friends and when we start talking politics they are so uninformed. They don't read or look at anything but MSM. It's so much easier for them to spew out the typical leftist slogans than to pick up a book like "The Case For Democracy" They have other redeeming qualities, but I just can't stomach their political views. My older brother is the same way. I'm sure he deletes most of the informational stuff that I send him without reading it. He didn't see the humour in my "hijacking" his computer, installing a "W" screensaver and then password protecting it. That was after his sons and I put a Bush/Cheney04 sign on his garage roof LOL
They believe what they read in the paper. They don't understand that bad people can't be reasoned with. And they think that throwing money at social problems actually works.
They haven't investigated the facts about socialism, and they think that spreading the money around is a way to 'help' people. And they don't understand that war is necessary to keep the peace.
I don't think the average liberal on the street is a bad person...........just woefully uninformed and intellectually lazy.
On the other hand, I think most of their 'leaders' are outright evil........
