1. Neocons... hehe (thought I'd throw my own version of name calling in) use name calling as a method of 'winning'. That's all in the own head btw.\n\n2. I've watched some detailed research on this subject on CSpan and it was actually a goal of the Republican party to have a campaign designed specifically to make the word 'liberal' derogatory. Their goal was to have the words liberal and democrat to mean the same when someone is talking about each party.\n\nTheir strategy worked btw. Today even us democrats use the word liberal to describe us when we all know that the far left is only a minority of the democratic party.\n\nDid you know that Clinton was a moderate democrat? Yep. But if you listen to ppl today, they say, '... that liberal democrat Clinton.....'.

Some people try to empower themselves by using derogatory expletives and "name calling". They do it from a fear of being suppressed or from knowing they have no rational answers for those who oppose them. It would be better if non-liberals could debate the liberal  "ideas", but since most liberals are sheep and follow the flock, their ideas become generic without purpose and meaning. Liberal "extremists", like most extremists", make a habit of being argumentive by nature. Most people who debate them, are usually self thinkers with good self-esteem who can communicate powerfully  without the name calling. I call these people conservatives and moderates, not extremists

Don't be sad. It makes me laugh when people throw the word "liberal" around like it's an insult. "You...you...LIBERAL, you." Not quite on par with calling someone a m*therf*cker, is it?

liberal is a very subjective term and can apply to any viewpoint fairly far to the left compared with the mainstream politics of the nation, every nation will therefore be different in its definition

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

Liberals do not like the "under God" line in it.  After all.... they think they are gods and do not want to be reminded that here is one and they are not him.  Then, they might have to humle themselves before Him.\n\nSue

They aren't understood; they are manipulated for political purposes. Currently, the Reps do it more...labeling liberalism as something so bad.

The main problem is that these "WORDS" are tossed around and used incorrectly! \n\nLiberal (Left Wing) should mean a free thinker, open minded, ect...\n\nConservatives (Right Wing) are people who should save, protect, or carefully use assets or make choices that require unclouded thinking.\n\nIn the end it's all a bunch of bull shit! The so called conservatives are ignorant minions of the wealthy and powerful. The GOP (grand over-class party) is a great example of this. They spend our money on bull shit like there's no tommorrow and try and oppress those who oppose them. They suck at social justice. (We are a Christian Nation yet we treat our poor and powerless like shit by cutting funding to important social programs and education). And they are great at filling their own pockets and the pockets of their masters with our hard earned tax dollars. This all goes against the saying "they will know we are Christian by our love".\n\nThe left wingers don't want people telling them how to live or what kind of choices they can make. BUT there are some things that shouldn't happen like a federal recongized homosexual marriage. The people need to vote on stuff like that. There are so many more important social and legal issues that need to be fixed before jumping onto a sword like that! \n\nIt all comes down to money and power. Right wingers leaders lie just as well if not better than left wingers. Don't let the left or right wing control your mind. Don't use these "Words" to lable yourself or others because these words are not used for what they mean. \n\nEducate yourself on the issues not by Watching FOX NEWS or CNN but by opening up a book and your mind.

That's a trick question, isn't it? Liberals don't grow up.

The answer is in the question, "Liberalsuck". \n\nLiberals are, generally, uneducated (though there are a few in acedemia who are edeucated beyond their intellectual capacity) and ignorant. They also base much on feelings, rather than on simple, hard logic. \n\nSince libs are generally uninformed (though they seem to think they are BETTER informed than we conservatives), there is little else they can do than to throw unimaginative insults and profanities... It's sad really.

education creates more liberals.

Because if Liberals told us who they really are and what they really believe, they lose every time... ooops, I guess that's happening anyway...\n\nEven though Liberals agree with Communists and Socialists, they know that those labels don't play well with the American People.

"... will the libs shut up about that?"\n\nDon't hold your breath.

If we used the same tactics we used during or right after WWII, the liberals would scream.   \nI think crewl and inhumain would be the terms used.\n\nI would also hear "just leave and let them form thier own government"  Boy, those are the intelligent ones who have NEVER studies history and a political vaccuum.

JOHN 16... are you dyslexic ?  \nYou said, "Liberals always say he is a "bad guy" --- then defend him."  \nIn my language, english, he wasn't defending him... he was saying it's not about him.\nI am a Liberal... and I have never defended him nor have I heard any liberal defend him either...  \nDo you stay up all night making this bush-it up ?\nWhat scares me isn't that you vote... it's that you breed !!!\nNow that's a crime against humanity !
