Are all liberals social misfits?

[dbphoenix]

I voted no because most of my views are liberal. Below is what I would call traditional liberalism and it's defined as such:

Liberals espouse a wide array of views depending on their understanding of these principles, but generally they support ideas such as free and fair elections, civil rights, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, free trade, and private property rights.
Liberals oppose and seek to replace absolutism in government with representative democracy and the rule of law.

I agree with all of the above. The problem is people confuse liberals with radical leftists. This is easy enough to do because radical leftists like to call themselves liberals and honestly some on the radical right like to confuse the two as well to further their own agenda.
Radical leftists like labels, especially with regard to race and economic class. They like categorizing people by race and economic status. They like painting with a very broad brush. They like antagonizing people. They absolutely do not want to have a rational and reasonable discussion about anything. They can't as reason and rationality are the enemy of their ideology. Let's take an example.
Michael Brown shooting. After reviewing the facts a liberal like myself would say that Brown brought about his demise by his own actions on the day he was killed. Radical leftists put forth the absurd argument that Brown was an innocent victim of a racist cop. A cop who went out looking for a innocent black kid to gun down for no reason. This racist cop did this in the middle of the day, in the middle of the street, in front of dozens of witnesses. This was the position of the radical left day one, and it is still their position today in spite of the evidence.
Now the question is how does one have a rational debate with such nonsense? Answer. You can't, and that's just how they want it. You just walk away shaking your head, they win. They have just silenced you. You answer back with the facts and they call you a racist. They intentionally heat up the rhetoric. People like myself say fine, you want to have this fight in the gutter, let's go to the gutter. They still win because they will only show your response, take things out of context, mislead, mis-represent and outright lie. Actually it is a strategy that works well. Ignore them they win, fight with them, they win in the sense that they have now framed how the debate will go. This keeps the perpetual issue on the table for the campaign trail. Address an issue rationally and try to solve it...never.

So yes, I'm a liberal in many ways, somewhat conservative in others, just like most people. Radical leftists have us all suffering the tyranny of the few.

You couldn't last even a day?

This from the loser who is so broke he is starting threads wondering whether he should max out his credit cards to trade a forex account, Where do you losers come from?

Max out my credit cards? Hardly. I'd be using less than one third of my available credit on an interest free loan, and in the meantime I would be leaving the rest of my savings invested and not exposed high risk trading activities.

Anyhow, MAX E PAD, starting a thread like this with a handle like yours is quite absurd. Is this a monthly issue for you?

Either way, your a loser, if your older than 25 and you are going to online forums trying to figure out whether or not you should be using creditcards to fund a forex account because you havent even been able to save up 10k in your miserable life to fund the account.

Sorry, but just like the liberals in my original post, you just sound like some washed up loser, who is still making grand schemes with his life, because he failed to accomplish anything.

Max out my credit cards? Hardly. I'd be using less than one third of my available credit on an interest free loan, and in the meantime I would be leaving the rest of my savings invested and not exposed high risk trading activities.

You're right. Much better to go online and start a thread where you demonstrate to the ET community what a hateful narcissist you are.

Debt can be used in many positive ways and using interest free debt in no way proves a person is broke. You have proven your own blind ignorance.

Actually, there's a lot more going on there than narcissism.

But how much does anybody care?

True, but I pity the fool, and don't want to knock him too hard.

We hear enough stories about conservatives who lose it and start shooting and killing innocent souls. Let's not create another story.

We hear enough stories about alleged conservatives from the liberal media everytime there is a shooting and most of the time they end up being libtards.
