I've received this e-mail several times in the past, yet I always take the time to read it again every time it pops up in my inbox.
If a conservative doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one. If a liberal doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.

If a conservative sees a foreign threat, he thinks about how to defeat his enemy. A liberal wonders how to surrender gracefully and still look good.
If a conservative is homosexual, he quietly leads his life. If a liberal is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.
If a black man or Hispanic are conservative, they see themselves as independently successful. Their liberal counterparts see themselves as victims in need of government protection.
If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation. A liberal wonders who is going to take care of him.
If a conservative doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels.. Liberals demand that those they don’t like be shut down.
If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church. A liberal non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced. (Unless it’s a foreign religion, of course!)
If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it. A liberal demands that the rest of us pay for his.
If a conservative slips and falls in a store, he gets up, laughs and is embarrassed. If a liberal slips and falls, he grabs his neck, moans like he's in labor and then sues.
If a conservative reads this, he'll forward it so his friends can have a good laugh. A liberal will delete it because he's "offended".
This last one, I had to add myself:
If a conservative reads something on a forum he disagrees with, he either defends his opinion or ignores the comment. If a liberal reads something on a forum he disagrees with, he cries to the editor to ban the author, completely dodges the issue by focusing on typos, and brings up something that has absolutely nothing to do with the issue.

The only thing CONGRESS won't go to jail like Bernie Madoff!!!! They will get their HUGE retirement and GOLD-PLATTED health care while the COMMON people pay for EVERYTHING!!! WE get the SHAFT!!!!
And when the bill comes in for health care and medicare and it can't be sustained anymore WE will be left without coverage and CONGRESS will have their COVERAGE and WE will get the BILL and the SHAFT!!!
HOPE & CHANGE you can believe in!!!!! "

Another thing that money we put in 50 years ago would have accrued compound interest if we were allowed to invest it instead of the government spending it on their IDIOTIC programs!!!
WE were FORCED to pay for other people to retire!!!! AND to support a lots of BOGUS claims for disability as well!!!! "

As far as "defining" you as it relates to the issue of "tolerance", you'll have to be a lot more specific since in many cases, being "very liberal" on social issues sometimes leaves little room for "fiscal conservatism". Maybe you could start by giving me a social issue you view from a "very liberal" perspective. Be specific please. "

I think two of the attitudes continuing to bring America down are "getting mine" and arrogant pseudo intellectuals more interested in their own image than in dealing with problems we face. I think the permissiveness of our overall society has resulted in the loss of a lot of what has made us a great country, the exception being the young people who join the military.
I also said that I'm impressed with Exclamation and would like to clone him/her. "

There is one problem with your analysis!!
Social Security has been deducted out of my paycheck ALL of my life and my employers have matched that amount for all these years!!! All people who have contributed to this system since it was forced on the people have likewise contributed!!! That money has been spent before it got in the government coffers by these IDIOTS in congress!!! WE are OWED Social Security NOW and PROBABLY will never see what we put in returned to us at RETIREMENT because of POLITICIANS!!! THEY WILL GET THEIR RETIREMENT THOUGH!!!! "

I've just always loved words, and the education I was fortunate enough to receive has fostered my love of reading.
Kids today who are growing up immersed in the instant media, to include TV and texting, are missing out. I think their cognitive skills are suffering. Perhaps one of the consequences can be seen in the difficulty so many of them have in evaluating situations. "

I added that as long as we're stuck in the "us v them" mentality, we're doomed. As long as people concentrate on "getting mine" or in paying less attention to the issues than in being arrogant psudo intellectuals, we're not going to make it.
Somehow, we've lost a lot of what made this country great, although it still shines through in the young people who are joining the military.
Exclamations, I'm impressed with your attitude. Can we clone you? "

That's the $64,000,000 question. How DO we get out of the mess we're in before we go under?
On the societal level, tort reform would be a good place to start in order to reduce the litigious insanity. A harder problem will be how to turn around the political correctness run amuck.
We have to each make a contribution on the individual level as well. Personally, I have spent my entire adult life working to promote true equity and justice by encouraging people to take responsibility for themselves based on traditional American values. "

I do consider myself a liberal who is worried about growing deficits and our ability to pay for them. I also consider it highly unlikely that this Congress will maturely deal with that issue. I believe the government has a legitimate responsibility to look out for the welfare of its citizens, but in that regard, our government has promoted a lifestyle of dependence on the government instead of self-reliance. How can we fix this generational problem? "

Looking at the previous comments, 5 were in opposition.
Of the 5:
1 mentioned "ignoring the point", then proceeds to "ignore the point", while the other 4 "ignore the point".
2 mentioned "facts", while 0 provided any facts of their own.
I was basically asking for liberals to dispute my assertions, but instead I got responses that reaffirm my theory. "

Cajunator has asked the "tolerant liberals" (sic) to respond to his post. The fact that they haven't responded doesn't prove his argument. His assertions stand on their own merit.
It's reasonable to assume that the lack of response of the "tolerant liberals" (sic) could indicate that they have no answer to Cajunator's comments. Since you're so smart, why don't you answer? "
blasphemous wrote on Nov 24, 2009 6:57 PM:
Your comments were a classic arguement from ignorance also know as argumentum ad ignorantiam. My favorite example of this is summed up in a qoute by Christopher Hitchens, "What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence."
This is a widely used arguement used by religious people. Always very hard to refute because there was no substance to the claim from the beginning. "

I am obviously a conservative, as are most people I am close to. I cannot think of ONE person who believes that homosexuals should be "burning in a ring of fire." On the contrary, they treat homosexuals like children of God and the regular people they are. The gender identity is pretty much a non issue.
I would guess you don't know many conservatives. If your characterization of the ones you know is true, I submit that their attitudes are engendered by something other than their traditional beliefs. "

To "A Few Corrections" you are so right about bigotted republicans. Cheney's daughter had to commit suicide because of her father's "bad attitude." It was smooth how you ignored the one about how Cher the liberal and Sonny the conservative had a different response to their gay daughter. How can you respond to that when it was the liberal who was the "bigot." Just ignore what you can't disprove. SMOOTH!!! "

A liberal wants any mention of religion silenced *at state sponsored institutions* because he understands that freedom of religion also means freedom from religion.
If a liberal reads this he will respond point by point explaining why you're wrong.
If a conservative reads that response, he'll call the poster names ignoring the point of the message. "
