How Liberals Argue

Recommended Posts

You're absolutely right -- Kennedy's are absolutely great. You post content as a rule as well (although you were wrong about Obama cutting NASA's budget :P). And I'm sure there are others as well they just haven't posted in the last day or two, and I'm a blonde :P

rhaig, davinci, lawrocket, gawain (who hasn't been here recently unfortunately) all probably qualify as conservative.



kennedy's posts are usually good to go.

But, yeah, I can't stand one-liner OPs.



You prefer run on rambling OP'? instead of just making a point?

A well written argument of any length is a joy to read even if I don't agree with it.

On the other hand, incoherent posts are painful no matter how brief.

Brevity may be the soul of wit, but even at that it's better to be understood and actually have something to say than just bark nonsensical pot shots.

generally libs are more emotional , and cons more intellect driven.

libs are often exceedingly condescending...



Well, on the bright side you've downgraded from "generally" to "often" in your blanket statements. Telling people they're being emotional in a discussion, however, could be construed as condescending which makes this pair of statements kinda funny.

which might actually make them emotional even if they weren't

much like telling someone to 'calm down' might just have the opposite effect also.

Is it condescending to point out that your post is incoherent?



Makes perfect sense to me

Whether or not posters are incoherent (you have to read some of the drunk posts in Bonfire before announcing there's no such thing :ph34r:), there are times when it's really hard to tell what a poster means with what he or she writes.

Sometimes by going back through the thread you can figure it out, but if I can't figure it out reasonably quickly I'll give up. I do this for fun, there's no need to go post necromancing to figure out wtf someone was saying if there's no content or new idea there.

And it's usually easy to see if there's a new idea. Less than one full line is often a good indicator that there isn't a whole lot of actual content.

I am finding myself to become increasingly embittered by labeling. Sure, I do it myself, so it makes me a bit hypocritical. But identifying as conservative is something I don't do.

I think that the particular identifications can come from what people perceive to be their biggest issue. For example, if one views anticollectivism to be the most impotant attribute of a conservative then I'd be conservative.

On the other hand if one views personal freedoms, the 4th Amendment, equal protection, etc., as the most important qualifier then I'd be a liberal because I oppose discrimination against gays, by race, and believe that the 4th Amendment means what it says.

Labels of "conservative" or "liberal" are usually meant to classify someone and never look at details.

With all the liberal-bashing circle-jerk going on here, ya wanna remind me again about all the nasty censorship that goes on of conservatives, how unfair all the liberal moderators are, and how immature liberals are? :S

Pull up any of Amazon's posts . . .:D


Aww poor wittle Turtle.... Hmm I wonder if I should get a logon over at nedtheneedledick.com to watch the right wing cirlejerks there too


Mostly lib's and halfwits have taken over "speak your mind" forum , you'd be right at home!


Its never fun to deal with guys like so many here who NEVER bring even that to a battle of wits. I miss the old days with Vinny the Anvil who brought a brain and not the head full of mush that so many self identified "conservatives" bring daily with incessant posts about what boogiemen are hiding under the bed.:S:S:S:S

This issue is that anything that you read that varies with your POV is rambling, biased, drivel.

Anything you do agree with is ignored or at best used to belittle someone that you disagree with.

Oh, but it is fun.

Don't kid yourself. I derive great pleasure from dealing with liberals and their mind set.

It's like watching AFHV.

I have better things to do, but you have to engage in pointless entertainment every now and again.

Hell, even your buddy Obama plays golf.
