Most Liberals just want human rights for all. Why do right wingers tweak the label?

Question

You have missed the popint Ruth. Only so much room here. Forget the wording or move on to another question. DUH

Answer 1

The liberals I have read up on want to doll out rights that infringe on the rights of others. That is not good....

Answer 2

Since your question, is framed as a statement, I too will make a statement. For the improper use of this forum, I apologize in advance, but I notice I am not alone. You tend to generalize so broadly as to be difficult to ascertain what your question is. I can only assume that by using the label "right winger" that everyone who is not a liberal (another label), must be a "right winger". I happen to be neither, I have very reserved thoughts about some issues and my thoughts are liberal in others. I tend to think for myself, trying very hard to keep my opinions my own. Party lines and platforms are for sheep. No one is 100% right.

It find it perplexing that you believe that liberals want human rights for all. Your belief that human rights are protected by a political party, (a grouping of people who are ambitious, don't tend to be uniform in thier beliefs and just want the power to control others and more importantly money, just like the "right wingers" in your question) is not supported by any facts I am aware of. Neither group has a set of principles to guide them. Principles are by nature inflexible and that is too tough for a politician to deal with. There is also enough labeling going on so as to cloud important issues which we face. They, the top 1% of both groupings, use the labels to keep us apart and pre-occupied as to prevent us from dealing with the real problem, disconnected greedy (the complete cross section) political leaders, who lie to get what they want, spend money on stupidity and waste, ignore America's problems, when some struggle for the most basic needs and ignore the nuisance that people are to them until they need a vote to renew thier apathy and malfeasance in office. If you are a liberal or a conservative, black, white, tall, short fat, skinny, smart, not so smart, and you buy into the party line, you are being played by a system which only benefits the 1%. If you don't believe that, you are a bigger sucker.

I think the "Liberals" are not focused enough on reality and the big picture and "Right wingers" tend to be so narrowly focused as to allow important issues to fester. I think they both need to be tweaked.

Answer 3

Progressive liberalism scares the radical right. It means sharing to people who are greed focused. It means speaking to others they perceive as a threat. It means playing by open rules as opposed to operating within their privileged gated communities. Tweak? Thats a too passive verb. The Right has set out to destroy the ideals of classical Liberalism, that is not 'tweaking'. Their efforts have been long term way before Bush and Ron Raygun, and along the way they have certainly brainwashed too many minds and created false opinions that are now considered Con Wisedom.

Answer 4

Right wingers aren't against human rights. In fact, most of us want to extend that right to babies, but liberals won't have it. WE MUST KILL BABIES!!!!

The only people I've seen right wingers want to restrict human rights to are killers, terrorists, and other folks who don't even believe in human rights.

Also, what do you mean by human rights for all? What are you considering a human right? Life, religion,? Right wingers respect that. Education, health, housing? Then there are differences. Most of the time, answers liberals want don't work in the real world.

Answer 5

Right wingers don't want to restrict human rights. Left wingers believe some humans are more equal than others.

Answer 6

Shouldn't liberals then be protesting against Affirmative Action, as it places races above and below each other as being able to succeed or fail? If the liberal agenda really proposes to support human rights and equality, this would be at the forefront of their protests

Answer 7

Some "right-wingers" are afraid that Liberals don't understand their need for security, that Liberals want to undo all that they have done, amassing power and wealth in their own circles.

It's a scrabble over resources, power.

Answer 8

Some of us think you are leaving out a bunch of humans.

EDIT: You don't want human rights for unborn babies. For parents. For people who disagree with you. For the working poor.

Stop trying to create a new class of humans, and stop creating more government interference into our lives and pockets.

Answer 9

Liberals don't want human rights for all, they're all about totalitarianism pretending to be social justice. Liberals want to dictate what happens in the world.

Answer 10

I truly believe most right wingers really don't care about human rights.....although I do have many republican friends who do care...so I don't wish to generalize too much...
