What is the problem with liberals? Why do they think that? Liberals seem to think that their liberal ideals are their way of thinking about society and the world. What's the deal with that?

Isn't it all about convincing people? The repubs want to convince people through hatred and fear...liberals try to convince people through understanding and respect.

Yes, traditionally ideals are a way of thinking about society and the world. What are your ideals, if they don't involve thinking?

HERE ARE JUST TWO OF THE MANY REASONS

Dude, you never even hint as to how "liberals" think. In my opinion, the problem starts with the divisive terms "liberal" and "conservative". For anyone to claim exclusivity of one of these trains of thoughts, then that person has automatically constrained themselves, to their own detriment.
For example, the political parties. Democraps will claim to be against the Repukelicans, and vice versa, when in reality, both the Dems and Reps prefer to take special interest, big business and any other source of money, and create laws and regulations that go in the direct opposite of the best interests of the Citizens of the United States of America.
By creating simple distractions, such as immigration, flag burning, separation of church and State, abortion, drug/crime, war, etc..those already in power in the US Government (regardless of Dem or Rep) work to consolidate their pseudo-power, by rigging the rules and elections. By forcing those who run for office to HAVE to raise millions, BOTH PARTIES ensure that the MAJORITY WORKING CLASS/POOR, are somehow REPRESENTED by the elite/rich.
To me, and most freethinking individuals, this is not only counterproductive, but downright stupid. I have never been affiliated with either party, nor any party, and until this year, I would remain independent.
However, after listening to the poli-tards from both sides, I am about to revise my voter registration and enter the Republican party, ONLY TO VOTE FOR RON PAUL.
RON PAUL IS THE ONLY HOPE FOR AMERICA IN 2008.

Because we do. Just as Libertarians and Conservatives see the world and society through their filters...so do liberals.
There's really nothing strange about that. We all filter the world around us based on our preconceived notions and ideas. Sometimes we are right and sometimes we are wrong.

No one will ever in my life time ever figure out the liberal mind! They will find cures for diseases, fuel problems, what causes anything before they ever get this one solved! I which I'd see the outcome in my lifetime but I won't!
Looking at the answers before me proves it!
You sure got them all in a tizzy!

uh...maybe you can be a little more specific. Especially considering that most political scientists that study ideology would consider American Republicans to be liberals. So maybe you could specify what thought you find so unnerving.

Hmmmm...well, I gues liberals think liberally, and conservatives think conservatively. Just a guess, though...
