And yet, the few self proclaimed or suspected liberals and Obama
supporters of this newsgroup, seem to be very well off,

Show us your data. IOW, you're talking out your a$$.
If that is the case, is that perhaps the time to reconsider our
stereotypes?
Perhaps you should reconsider yours.
i think what he is saying is that your stereotypes should be the
same as his...
Ah, yes. That is the leftist's way.
At least that is what you think the leftist's way is. What people are
forgetting is that there are stereotypes, which do have some truth to
them,
and then there is reality. There are concrete things that actually
make someone a liberal or a conservative. They each have their own
ways and beliefs. The problem is when one side makes claims about the
other side which are not true, which is usually the case. In this
group, which is filled with right wingers and republicans denigration
of "liberals" are posted constantly. That's because the "wingers"
detest anyone who has
views
that are different from theirs (a conservative trait). Proof of this
is
the
unending stream of criticism and invectives directed at liberals by
them.

Take one trait that is common among liberals; tolerance. This same
trait is
not shared or highly regarded by conservatives. A trait they like a
lot
more
is authority or hierarchy. Each group has it's own group of attributes
and
they are not shared much by the other group. Both groups have a low
opinion
of the other group. But if you want to know the facts about one group
or the
other you don't ask the other side because most of what they think is
wrong.
Anyone can find the truth about liberals or conservatives if they want
but
for most people it's a lot easier to simply call the other group names
and
say nasty things about them. On this group, most of the people doing
that
are conservatives. That's is not an opinion. It's a fact.

Well said.

I beg to differ; I thought what he said was a load of ****.


That's only because you're a right winger. You guys always dislike the
truth. Especially when it's said about you. I'm sure we could confirm that
by asking your wives or girlfriends.

Hawke
This is such bull****! It's the Left Wingers that are always ****ed off
about something. They're never happy about anything. That's all I'm going
to say about this subject. Not going to drag me into this bull****.
