It's all over in here...

Lib this...dem that...conservative this...republican that....

Now, I am not saying that those groups of people don't exist, they do, but what I have a problem with are people on here that automatically label someone based on ONE answer.

I have been accused of being a lib, a conservative, a democrat and a republican...and I am not any of those.

Why do people categorize others on here based on only one view or one answer that they have given?

That seems to be the way our society wants to be. If you don't fit into one of the preconceived categories you are too bewildering to contemplate. Carl Rove has taught this to the followers of a certain segment of the population and the marketers have set the rules for the younger segment. Everyone must fit into some box or other. I , like you, seem not to fit into the boxes. Therefore I am generally ignored.....I dont know about you.

God is politics. you have heard of the religious top have not you? curiously, God is a republican, and Jesus is a democrat. no longer that the republicans will ever admit that if Jesus grew to become into alive immediately, he'd be a socialist, liberal. With the long hair, the helping of the adverse, the blessed are the meek, etc. etc. good success getting God out of politics however. in case you be triumphant, Il'll be your best fan.

Even though they are wrong, people in the Immigration area call is racists!

Some categories are mean and wrong. Others describe the person. They just try to group different ideologies together.

In my opinion, by setting an adversarial tone, their bellicosity shrivels intelligent discussion, leaving ditto type responses most likely. They call this, 'entertainment' but we may be more accurate in using the term bully.
Thank you.

This is a question about human nature, not Politics and Government. Go check out the Psychology or Social Science sections.

simple.

they really don't want to either talk to you or really listen to what you have to say.

by categorizing you and therefore demonizing you, they can then have a valid reason to not listen to you.

it won't even matter if they are right or wrong when they generalize about you.

Because there are two categories of people:
1. People that place people in two categories
2. People that don't

These people apparently are in group 1.

Dang it, now I am too :)

Because there are no tones of gray in politics. Well there is but is so much easier to see thing in black and white.

'Rules for Radicals' by Saul Alinsky. It's Hillary's favorite book!
