rabid liberal shouts down peaceful conservatives

[Heracles 417]

I know that there are people you don't get along with, it's very apparent. I like you and I like all of them (I don't have to choose so THERE )

I'm only saying that you allow it to happen by letting it get to you.

There's nothing wrong with being conservative. I have a question, do you agree with any liberal views at all?

Just curious.

From Wiki:

Some positions associated with liberalism in the United States

• individual freedom (yes, but only when the line is drawn somewhere)
• unalienable human and natural rights (100%, for those who are here legally and have not committed a heinous crime)
• freedom of speech and the press ( to an extent but certainly the line has to be drawn somewhere )
• separation of church and state (Separation as in no one preference but certainly not totally where even the word is a taboo. After all the government is there for its people. Telling people sorry we cannot acknowledge or celebrate with you is wrong)
• equality of opportunity for all regardless of race, age, religion, income, sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity (100%)
• freedom of information; the right to know what the government is doing (Yes and No, The media should not be able to publish everything the second they receive it. Like strategic military plans)
• the rule of law; the equal protection of the law (100%, for those who are here legally and have not committed a heinous crime)
• higher concern for the environment and worker rights than market forces (to a practical extent)
• the value to society of working people (100%)
• social security, universal health care, and the provision of support to poor workers & families (100%)
• progressive taxation (100%)
• reluctance to use military force in a rash and hasty manner (100%)
• woman's right to choose to have an abortion (Yes but we need some sort of rules. This should not be a contraceptive)
• proclivity toward supporting "home" issues versus foreign (100%)
• proclivity toward supporting federal power versus state power (1,000%)
• proclivity toward supporting public education versus private (No, money should be allocated per student and be distributed to a the students school of choice, regardless of being public or private)
• right of citizens to have legally recognized marriages/unions regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity (Right to a recognized union, with all of the same rights as a married couple but marriage is between a man and woman.)

The problem I have with those who actually are the liberal stereotype is their freakin attitude. Alex+R is an excellent example of that in this forum. She refuses to let someone get an opinion in edgewise, without some sort of insult on their intelligence. Why? simply because she disagrees with them. In her mind this is a valid opinion.

No I don't appreciate anyone who feels they have the right to ram their views down other people's throat. Or when this fails, resorts to personal insults. I don't agree with people who use violence or intimidation to get their way, as in protests. I don't agree with liberals obsession with rights issues rather than the real issues facing America. Such as crime, poverty and inequality. I don't agree with their obsession with ripping out religion from everywhere, rather than being celebrated and respected as is the case in other developed and civilized countries. I enjoy seeing a huge Christmas tree in county offices in Australia. I enjoy seeing the government financially assisting diverse communities in celebrating their beliefs, be it Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, Jewish or Christianity. This is one of many things that makes Australia such a great place. Where we the people, and or beliefs, are respected and sponsored by the government. Where Muslim and Buddhist kids, for example, get to celebrate in schools. This is what makes a great community. And this is not theory or hearsay as the results in places like Australia, speak for themselves.

you so do!

Bull #######. How many threads of Stevens or AJs do I go in where my first post is a #### you are dumb comment??

The "White Privilege" thread you just posted in.

No, I posted my opinion there. I didn't just come in and say six is stupid. Definitely misguided and delusional but not stupid.

Actually you did. I have a good memory for these things.

Interesting, some similar views to mine, thanks for sharing that.

I don't have time to respond properly, but I will when I do.

Inside, still waiting on speech; outside, a confrontation

TAMPA -- As spectators inside the Sun Dome waited for Joe Biden's speech to begin, about a dozen McCain supporters outside were met with opposition.

"I think these people are so uneducated that they are a threat to the country," screamed a woman who refused to be named because she said her husband disapproves of her political views. She was pointing toward the group of about a dozen people holding John McCain signs silently outside the Dome. The woman said she didn't support any one candidate -- she simply supports America.

The group was mostly made of USF students who wanted to establish a presence at the event, said 20-year-old Charles Sherrard, a political science major who's also part of the College Republicans. "It's a very liberal campus," Sherrard said. "But there are conservatives. We want to show that."

Sherrard said he supports McCain because he's a strong believer in fiscal conservatism -- low taxes, low goverment spending and involvement and strong capitalism.

"All I'm saying here is, look, there are kids here who don't agree with Obama," Sherrard said. "This is the kind of stuff that divides us," he added, nodding toward the woman still screaming threats at the group.
