Things Liberals Believe in

[Sofiyya 1,687]

Cindy McCain has made no secret of her drug use, but she's not running for president. The man you think is so good for the country was also once a drug freak.

Junkie. That's where I'd been headed: the final, fatal role of the young would-be black man. Except the highs hadn't been about me trying to prove what a down brother I was. Not by then, anyway. I got high for just the opposite effect, something that could push questions of who I was out of my mind, something that could flatten out the landscape of my heart, blur the edges of my memory. I had discovered that it didn't make any difference whether you smoked reefer in the white classmate's sparkling new van, or in the dorm room of some brother you'd met down at the gym, or on the beach with a couple of Hawaiian kids who had dropped out of school and now spent most of their time looking for an excuse to brawl. You might just be bored, or alone. Everybody was welcome into the club of disaffection. And if the high didn't solve whatever it was that was getting you down, it could at least help you laugh at the world's ongoing folly and see through all the hypocrisy and bullshit and cheap moralism.

- Dreams from My Father

You goodless hypocrites and the rest of his sycophants seems to be able to forget that, even as you complain about the foibles of others.

There's no hypocrisy here. I am not the one calling for the punishment of drug addicts. Rush Limbaugh was. And Jeb Bush, and John McCain. And yet, when it was them or their family, then the tune changed for the treatment their own. That's what hypocrisy is.

Me? I think drugs should be legalized. The war on drugs is as much - if not more - of a farce as the war on terrorism.

Obama is a drug addict. It's clear that you'd rather create diversions rather than deal with that fact.

I don't divert. You do. This isn't a thread about Obama - it's about what liberals supposedly believe. And according to what the OP suggested, it would appear that Rush Limbaugh, the Bush family and John McCain are all liberals.

So, now you're a stickler for staying on topic, and I can feel free to call you a hypocrite when you get off-topic.

No, but you are not going to accuse me of diverting the discussion when it is you that's trying to do the diverting.

[Sprailenes 47]

I'm a liberal and I don't believe in any of that stuff.

But you can go on believing that I do. Ignorance is bliss.

If liberal is short for liberty, how can you include the Bush's, in particular the kid, as liberal since they have taken away a lot of our liberty in the name of national security? Honestly, would you buy a used car from Rush Limbaugh? If he comes on TV, have to put on my fishing boots because the BS really gets thick. If McCane let his hair grow long and wore a dress, would be a dead look alike for my ex-mother-in-law with the same high pitched whining voice and the same idiotic statements.

What conservatives believe:

1. Socialism is bad, unless it's a corporate giveaway.

2. Greed is good, until the markets collapse. Then, it's the liberals' fault for not regulating.

3. Work for the rich, but get the poor and middle class with idle talk of "values"

4. If someone questions you, challenge their patriotism.

anyone?

[symbiosis 0]

5. Accuse liberals of being "tax and spend" while you are "tax cut (for the rich) and spend". Blame all deficits on liberals.

[Danno 1,228]

We outlaw murder and it's still around too.

is that why the government murder people on death row, because it is outlawed?

Wow, thats some twisted logic you are using there.

If I were to agree with that concept then I would also have to claim : Incarcerating people is actually "kidnapping"!

[Ban Hammer 13,659]

Obama is a drug addict. It's clear that you'd rather create diversions rather than deal with that fact.

then dubyah is too?

He even scored a DUI conviction didn't he?

yep and was an alcoholic "before his religious conversion in his 40s" in his 40s... tsk tsk

That's ok though - the church forgives all once you get "born again".

obama needs to become a born again.

i don't think his mom would agree to that.

[Peikko 1,575]

Where's the outrage?

MAdame Cleo-

You really are an ####### aren't you?

I didn't read your 'list' but I can imagine the stupid #### you have put on it. Pathetic.

------

That was my favorite one, first came the name calling.... "#######" (sounds like a high-brow ###)

Then the claim that she never even read it.

Relax libs, it's just a little humor.

I know you were #### stirring and for that you are an #######, and to be quite honest I don't really give a rats ####### about it (nor do I care if you think I sound high-brow or anything else for that matter).

I didn't read your list, but I know exactly the type of ####### that is on it, because it's always the same. There are some incredibly dim bulbs who wish to hold people accountable for things they 'imagine' people believe because that is much more convenient and easier to argue against than reality. The only thing that is even slightly irritating about it is it's always the same wingnuts who post these type of threads and they are always 'jokes' about the same group of imaginary people. I'm laughing, but I am laughing at you, not with you.

By the way, where is Charles to moan about the way a 'right winger' quotes? Or is it only when a librul fails to quote in the manner that he proscribes that it's 'unacceptable'?

and taxation is extortion.

at least you've finally learned how to quote instead of just random posts that could be construed to be taken to be aimed at anyone

not even for VW to stop calling him an addict when he isn't?

I did not mean to suggest that either of these folks is a liberal, I merely pointed out that the criteria put forth by the OP reeks of bullshite as it can easily be applied to persons that are known to be no friends of liberals or liberty, for that matter.

Who cares? Nicotine is drug enough for anyone not to vote for someone.
