Why is it that I can't have a conversation with a Lib with out them calling me or Bush a name.?

Answer 1

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. This is what YOU kind of names YOU resort to, from your earlier post:

"Being a typical Lib you need to have things explained to you several times. I was refering to the people who are calling Bush a liar and thoes in congress who are calling our military (people like John Kerry) terrorists. Libs need to grow a brain as well as a back bone."

Answer 2

Well, as a Mod I think I can take this one.

Several years ago I observed that conservatives were becoming especially fanatical (especially during the initial stages of Gulf War II). Lately, I agree that the tables have turned and that the most emotional, fanatical speech has been coming from liberals.

I think fanaticism stems from emotional reasoning and a lack of preparedness, in other words, just going on impulse instead of looking at the facts.

While I do agree that liberals seem to do it more often than conservatives lately, I do have to add that a lot of conservatives don't know what they are talking about.

So what I would ask you is, what is your attitude when talking to a liberal? Do you listen to what they have to say and ask questions, or do you just attack and tell them 100 reasons why they are wrong?

By the way, there ARE intelligent and reasonable liberals out there. But it's harder to find them if you go into it with the preconceived notion that they don't exist.

Answer 3

Perhaps you are asking the wrong question. Maybe you need to look deeply at the situations in which you have been called names. Were you raising your voice, cutting them off or responding to their sincere views in mocking or condesending ways? Were you open for your mind to be changed or were you out to prove a point? Answer these simple questions truthfully in your head and you'll start to understand that it may not be "libs" (and it is inaqurate to label a whole group of diverse people as being the same as the few people you have spoken with) who are the problem, but our culture of "I'm right you are wrong". Truely, everyone should be about the business of making life bearable for others as well as ourselves. Good Luck and may God Bless

Answer 4

Good question; I've wondered this myself. I still find it hard to believe that there aren't any Libs who are capable of normal conversation, but I haven't had any yet, either. I think maybe they can't cope with the idea that we may be right about some things. It makes them wonder if perhaps everything they think is wrong and that's hard for them to deal with. So, they lie and name call. Too bad, really.

Answer 5

What do you expect from products of the public school system - the ability to hold and intellectually honest, factually based conversations of debate, which are merely dependent on the merits of the points they have to offer to objectively support their positions?

Sorry pal, that usually isn't enough to defend the indefensible which is where libs find themselves 99% of the time.

How can you reason with someone so twisted they think it's perfectly fine to suck the brains from an unborn child?

Answer 6

Liberalism has devolved into a theocracy of dogma: if you do not speak in the right buzzwords, instantly support the right doctrine, you are a heretic worthy of extinction. This is why liberals are so rude: they believe they are better human beings, and those who disagree with them are subhuman.

But the acolytes of Liberalism are blind to the fact that there are some of us on the left who are not liberals, and who are sickened by their deceitful tactics of hate and personal destruction. And that was not irony, that last: it was evidence of the deceit. Liberals (and their beloved queen) coined the phrase "politics of personal destruction", and yet they used federal money to build a staff whose sole purpose was to find unflattering information (dirt) on women who had had sex with Bill Clinton, so as to use it against these poor women if they ever went public. They enact the politics of personal destruction and then complain about it - all the while lying about their own policies of using it.

That is Liberalism: trapped by their past, they are unable to argue with the truth, so they accuse and insult.

Someday, those of us on the left will have someone other than a liberal to vote for. We are waiting ...

Answer 7

To be honest, it might have something to do with the fact quite often conservatives are prone to thinking a rational debate means loudly declaring their position and then just screaming at the top of their lungs while the other side tries to explain and justify their position. Liberals may just have gotten tired of the conservative notion "I'm right, and you're a retard for not agreeing with me", especially since conservatives more often than not have no supporting evidence for holding their point of view while liberals do, at least, try to come up with some.

I don't know about everyone else, but that's certainly been my experience when trying to discuss matters in a reasonable way with conservatives, and it has been the standard experience of all my friends with a liberal mindset. Conservatives often don't seem to afford liberals the manners and respect they seem to feel due themselves.

In my own discussions, it is a rare occasion when one is able to address whatever issue we are talking about in a calm and rational manner instead of simply spewing forth often illogical rhetoric, and violently trying to stop me from stating my position or making fun of me for being a "bleeding heart" because I rely on scientific research and facts rather than my own passions and anger to decide on the correct point of view.

That can be frustrating, especially in light of the fact that conservative social policies usually have disastrous consequences and conservative fiscal policies virtually always do. It can also be quite angering when faced with the fact conservatives are often very egotistical about their political views, especially to those who are honestly trying to find a reasonable solution to the problems which confront us and best encompass the reality of the situation rather than simply choose an ideological answer which often blatantly ignores reality.

Answer 8

There are some around here you can; I'd refer to you "g" as a username that often has a good liberal minded point of view and discussion. Sadly though there are many here including some paid I'm sure (by the DNC) simply to hate on Bush and the conservatives. They love the "neocon" lable like its going to be equated to the "liberal" label Reagan nailed them with decades ago. But thats not going to work; I love the neocon label.

Answer 9

Because libs can't hang with us in a debate on the issues. You know you won when they start calling you names.

Answer 10

I don't know. Maybe you're obnoxious?

Also, if the name they call Bush is "stupid," cut them some slack. If the PC police get too intense, we can never have an honest conversation.

Answer 11

It would depend on the tone and subject of your conversation. Is there any name-calling on your end?

I had to laugh at the above post that says the DNC is paying people to come on here and talk.
