What is a "Card Carrying Liberal"? Why this simplistic name calling  by people who can't intelligently discuss
86988
Many Neocons who already know they are wrong like to use the word "Liberal" as if it were a four letter word. They use it because of the "fact" they hate being wrong on every count and hatred of those who speak out and oppose the wrongs they agree with. Some think the word somehow hurts the person, that way they don't really address the issue o debate.\nAnother one is "use the dictionary", Or "read the Constitution", Same old Neocon ploy. Subterfuge.

First of all it's "reel off" not "real off" \n\nThe reason liberals go off subject or resort to name calling is because they cannot win an argument with facts. Also most liberals are seething with hatred and have lost the ability to debate altogether.\n\nAs you can see, the responses above are excellent examples of my point.

Wow - \n\nYou must be mistaken.  I am totally shocked that a liberal, open minded, free thinking member would have anything to do with squelching your individual rights of free speech that were manifested in a forum specifically established to inquire about such matters.  \n\nParticularly because it was such a seemingly relevant question considering the happenings in the world today.\n\nI suppose I shall have to reconsider my opinion.  I wonder if I'm allowed to do that?

It is because liberals seem to sing the same song all the time. It gets boring. The comments seem to center around hating bush/war/conservatives. I understand from your standpoint that it is hard to be positive and not use canned talking points. I challenge a position or make a dig\nI don't waste my time tearing the person down much, just the Idea or position. I have slipped that being said.\nLiberals don't like me much. I share that back. Your question is rather good actually. Good Day

Hey you can't use actual facts around here! You confuse the liberals.

It's always easier to associate someone that you disagree with, using some derogatory term rather than have an intellectual discussion.\n\nIt doesn't matter which side your on or what the issue is.

First of all, I like it when Republicans finally stand up and call liberals on the crazy things that they do (not all liberals,but MANY). However, is this really a question or just a statement ? Although I agree, I can't tell you why Democrats are like that.

a liberal - both are dicks

For the same reason that libs do the same.  It is all just a game.  Think of it like an orange that they pass back and forth....keeping us distracted and divided against the real threat that they both pose.

Unfortunately not uncommon.  Those people can be charitably described as "jerks" and "freeloaders."  There are other names I've used, not for public consumption.

I hear ya Brother. Check out some of my posts and you will see the same exact pattern emerge from some neocons who shall remain nameless. Don't let them sway you from your questions. If all they can do is resort to name calling, which they LOVE to do, well that's their problem. I can understand their hypersensitivity however with poll numbers for the President in the upper 20's, you would be cranky too.

Why is a liberal labeled as such?  A liberal wants to do away with the 2nd Amendment, and limit how average citizens can protect themselves and their property against criminals. Sounds limiting to me, instead of how the word is supposed to mean.

"They" are called "liberals because their scope of concern expands to include everyone (Jesus was one of the first Liberals). Most liberals even have compassion for jerrks like you too!

Unfortunately the people you are referring to have absorbed liberalism as a kind of religion and do not think clearly or distinctly, other than to parrot other's views. I don't spend any time on them, they don't matter to me.

The word Liberal and Conservative don't mean SHIT! The assholes that like to lable themselves conservatives are usually rich sons of bitches or the mindless minons that believe the bullshit they shovel.\n\nFor the most part the conservatives who label people liberal are usually a bunch of freaks and weridos who are equally rich political lap dogs of the wealthly who are using the equally blind for support to get elected. These people also don't do shit for the people. \n\nThe words liberal and conservative don't fit the true definition of the word(s). \n\nLiberate, to set free\nConservation, to protect, or not waste\n\nIt all a bunch of bull shit and if you use these words to label yourself or lable someone else you're an idiot and a minon of the mass media. \n\nFor the most part I agree with you that the so called "conservatives" seem to be are card carrying members of the NRA and enjoy NASCAR. (Right Wing minons)\n\nAnd the so called liberals are a bunch of wanabe hippies.

The reason those are the only other responses are simple:  They can't argue there point with logic so they go with an emotional response.  They don't want a debate because they know their arguments for illegals are weak and they would lose an intellectual debate based on the law and facts.  So they resort to name calling and race baiting.  They hope if we are called enough names that we'll feel ashamed for picking on the poor illegals and go away.  \n\nIn a debate you know who has the weaker hand when the only arguement they have is to call someone else names.\n\nTo mendi8a: thats the only response because how do you defend yourself against a charge like that?  you cant, once the race card has been thrown no matter what you say your guilty of it in the mind of the one who puts it out on the table.  I really dont care if someone calls me a racist.  You know why because I know the truth and I sleep well at night.

If I wanted to pose as a liberal on this site (I'm actually a libertarian) and ask stupid, inflamatory questions in order to make liberals look like a sses, I doubt I could come up with better questions than these.\n\nUnfortunately, these aren't conservatives acting like liberals- these are the real McCoy asking these questions.
