Is calling left-wingers hippys, and communists the same as calling right-wingers facists and nazis?

Question

Liberal ideology does include very socialist elements, mixed with a strong enviromental and civil rights defence(regardless of if it is practical or not)
But Conservatives do not promise the country a return to former glory, or an advance to one, they do not advocate a military dictatorship, a more centralized government in other words(which is the possition of the democratic party), and they do not advocate the slaughter of jews, blacks, and slavs, or the superiority of the german race. so whats the deal?

Answer 1

gee wonder which way you lean?

Answer 2

It is not the same as liberals are pretty much hippys, socialists and communists. Conservatives are not fascists and Nazis. In fact we went to war against those 2 concepts. We are now fighting against terrorism and again the left just doesn't get it.

Answer 3

Excellent point.

There's enough name-calling blame to go around the entire political spectrum, especially here on YA.

If it wasn't so pitiful, it'd be humorous - reading the juvenile comments, characterizations and accusations put forth here.

I'm conservative (on most issues, but not all) and I don't mind listening and considering a reasonably argued liberal POV. But I tune out immediately as soon as I start reading the Nazi - Fascist - Neo-Con - Illuminati - New World Order characterizations.

Answer 4

That will go way over the heads of the ditto heads who post neoKon mindless ideology here. You are absolutely right but you used way too many syllables and big words for them to understand.
Their goal is to divide the country. Never mind "united we stand, divided we fall" or "one nation under God indivisible." Lincoln must be turning over in his grave.

Answer 5

No. Conservatives decide for theocracy. Libertarians prefer liberal ideals like open borders, abolishing our drug regulations, and minimum government intervention in human beings's own lives. they're additionally anti-protection tension business complicated. Libertarians are greater aligned with liberal ideals. don't be fooled by using conservatives bearing fake presents.

Answer 6

Yes, actually, it is the same. It is still a generalization, which is completely unfair to both sides. Many left-leaning individuals are as caring, compassionate, and intelligent as any right-leaning individual.
There are exceptions, to both sides of course, but no one's perfect.

And I actually agree with Beth. Whoever thought this would
happen?

And the impersonator down there has been reported YET AGAIN for harassment and impersonation.

Answer 7

Yes, it's always a bad idea to let the very fringes of society speak for society as a whole. Ultra-liberal, communist "hippies" can't speak for Democrats just as ultra-conservative, Christian "Nazis" can't speak for all Rebublicans. We should strive harder to find middle ground and work together to solve social problems.

Answer 8

They are the same in that both are inaccurate, rude, insulting, and miss the core values held by each group.

Sadly, both groups engage in this kind of behavior, seemingly as a mechanism to avoid actually having to debate anything on the merits of the issue.

Answer 9

why are we in so many wars right now? Who is in power. Are we in glory yet? Is 6 years enough to get us there, sorry to say you are wrong bud.

Answer 10

Stop blathering all that reasonable and sane dribble, or you won't be welcome in these parts any longer. ;-)
Though I would argue that republicans have done more for the environment especially in terms of conservation than democrats.

Answer 11

Obviously not. Left wingers are hippies and commies.
