Stupid Liberals vs Evil Conservatives

Interesting take on the situation, Mr. Krauthammer.

While I don't believe ALL conservatives are evil, neither do I believe garbage science like these accusations currently being tossed about on this forum:

Neocons are Pathological Liars and Thieves

Low IQ & Conservative Beliefs Linked to Prejudice (Part II)

The Conservatives, Stupidity & Prejudice Linked

While I don't believe ALL liberals are stupid, I do believe some of their ideas are very stupid. (iow not feasible) Part of the problem is their inability to understand the world around them. In many ways, liberals lead sheltered lives, unable or unwilling to move from their comfort zone to embrace new ideas. I find it ironic they call themselves 'progressives' when nothing could be further from the truth.

Here are some exerpts from an interesting article about why liberals have a hard time understanding the world that I ran across while researching the Stupid vs Evil theory. The entire piece can be found by clicking on the link.

So how 'bout it, Libs. Can you see yourselves in these descriptions? I can certainly see you there. Would you like to provide some insight into why you think Conservatives are Evil? This is the place to do it... I'm all ears!

 

Charles is just talking about general perceptions. I think he's pretty much nailed it, however I would say conservatives think of liberals as more evil than stupid. I don't think anyone would consider Obama stupid by any stretch of the word.

Nancy Pelosi is a different story though. I don't think any liberal would consider Karl Rove stupid, Bush is another story though.

 

Yeah, I agree... the terms are inter-changeable aren't they? Truthfully, I never thought of liberals as EVIL until Barack Obama came along. But now the word does seem to fit better than stupid in some cases.

 

But that's not what he said, is it???

 

The worst is the blindness in the people that support "both parties". Mainly because are the same party different faction.

And liberals and conservative are not so different. Both are authoritarian and in the right square.

 

The most interesting thing about the cited material is that the "studies" are not available. All that exists is some blogger's interpretation of some vaguely mentioned sociological study.

When this first surfaced a week or so ago, I pointed out that neither of the studies came anywhere near meeting the claims made in blog's headline, that the British survey consisted of a too small a base to reach any conclusions and was not cited in the blog so that anyone could check the cited material.

The second study quoted a professor of some description, who it turns out is not even listed on the University staff. Further Brock University barely in Trent, Ontario barely meets the requirements of a University and does not have a Sociology chair, nor a Political Science department. And, of course, these years old studies have not been peer reviewed.

So there is no mystery why this hasn't surfaced in the academic press.....


It will, though, continue to fill these boards for weeks to come.

It is sad, maybe sick, when people have to cling to empty , manufactured conclusions instead of arguing the many real issues facing the country today

 

I think conservatives are constitutionalists, and liberals are Marxists.

Conservatives are about common sense, hard work, and results.
Liberals are about wants, needs, and feelings.

Big difference-

 

Actually, the worst blindness is found in the "The two parties are the same!" herd animals. You have to be willfully deluding yourself to think the two parties don't have colossal differences. Instead of investigating the issues, which would require work, they just wave their hands around, declare a pox on both houses, and blindly declare their own way must thus the perfect way. I reject that kind of lazy thinking.

 

And yet Obama is stupid.

The fact that there are idiots out there who are even more stupid, being stupid enough to believe the lies Obama spews every time he opens his mouth.

The fact that there are idiots out there who are stupid enough to vote for and support the asinine policies Obama proposes and enacts.

Doesn't change the fact that Obama is himself the stupidest President our Republic has ever seen.

 

If a pig had feathers and wings, it'd be a bird. What's your point?

 

In theory you could say that but both parties have strayed so far from anything resembling a set of core principles that they are nothing but a convoluted mess of ideas now.

 

People in general are evil and stupid. Political leanings are irrelevant. All our political concepts are useless considering the larger picture, that of the collapse of this great nation. Every Empire in history has collapsed and we are headed down the same path. A military stretched too thin, overuse of oil products, ignoring our most important natural resource (water), misuse of chemicals in farming, credit being dolled-out like candy...everything we are doing, or paying attention to is useless unless we harness these issues...together.

BTW...I've been told to stop using bold type as it might collapse the forum...not as rapidly mind you as what I mentioned above.

 

Unfortunately, rejecting the two party system is like taking your dollies home and refusing to play. You might get some satisfaction out of taking the stand, but you miss out on all the REAL ACTION.

I'd rather be a player than a spectator... but that's just me.

 

I see a lot of libs with those descriptions. Especially moral relativism and a severe lack of personal responsibility.

 

True there are major differences between the Conservative ideological platform, and the liberal democrat platform.

However, when it comes to these RINO's and so called "moderates" that infest the RNC today, the two parties ARE the same.

But then again, these RINO's are nothing more than liberals in disquise anyways so....

 

The absurdity of statements like this is hard to grasp. Conservative and liberals disagree on everything from funding to social issues.

 

I thought we were talking about liberals and conservatives, not parties....big difference.

Conservatives have not changed. Liberals have morphed into socialists and Marxists for the most part. There are very few true liberals left.

 

One would have to be incredibly blind to not see the 2 parties are working together to keep their elite status intact.
The show you see on TV is just that, a show.
Real tax rates haven't changed much in decades.
Laws and regulations protect the status quo and discourage small business competition, thereby keeping the campaign donors happy.
When you dig down through all the political dog and pony show, you find very little real differences in how DC politics run.

 

Arguing which group is more stupid or more evil is a waste of time and bandwidth.
Stupid is on both sides, evil is on both sides. 1 is not more or less of either in the whole scope of things.

 

IMO, it is done on purpose. Keep the peasants blaming and pointing fingers, less chance of the elitists getting their hidden agenda from being discovered.

Their hidden agenda? To keep their elitist political jobs as long as possible. And to increase their net worth at the same time.

 

Moral relativism, or in other words, a total absence of any moral character whatsoever.

Is not only self evident in many of the actions the libs take.

It's actually called for, and taught in Saul Alinsky's rules for radicals, liberal garbage which encourages this "ends justify the means, lie steal and cheat to retain political power" crapola book.

Is what you wind up with, when you raise your kids with "time outs" in the "time out chair" instead of a hickory switch and tanning that backside.

 

All too easy. Look at the liberal justices on the supreme court. They have openly admitted looking at international laws to decide cases in this country. The conservative justices never do this because they actually understand the oath they took.

LOL Completely false. Liberals support all forms of government assistance. They want more healthcare, more social security and more "safety nets" for people who make stupid mistakes. Conservatives believe one must stand on their own two feet and not look to the government to save them.

Gay marriage is the perfect example of liberals using feelings over fact. There is no place anywhere in the Constitution that discusses homosexuality. The logical course is if liberals want gay marriage they pursue an Amendment to the Constitution. But liberals don't want to wait claiming "they love each other" argument is sufficient to change the law now bastardizing the meaning of current law to fit their agenda. This is pure emotion on parade. The same with claiming homosexuals are "born that way" yet they have zero evidence of this being true and champion those who come out late in life after having children and pretending the same applies to them.

You really need to stop using your feelings and start looking at some facts.

 

Got any proof to back up that statement. Not political talk, but actual proof.
Funding of things has increased forever. Some social issues, sure, but that is just fluff.

 

An opinion based on nothing factual. Just RW talking head BS.

 

Exactly right. If children are not disciplined they learn to act out without consequences.

The lack of moral fiber in liberals is evident in the Occupy movement vs the Tea Party movement.

The entitlement feelings of liberals is on full display as is their disgust for authority namely the police and military. It is a sickening state of mind to live your life believing you are entitled to more than you work for and show disdain for those who protect you and your family.
