Also you seem more worried about trying to trip me up. I am sorry I can start a communist party in Germany next year, but it wouldn't exist long. They are a little sensitive about that, in 100 years it might fly again. So, me saying that I can start a anarchy party, and saying that there can not be one isn't a contradiction. think. There is a really good reason there isn't one. Anyone can start any party they want. Can they exist? Maybe. Will they suceed? maybe. It is all fifty/fifty and timing.

The problem as I see it is that you are coloring one group with a brush that can be applied to both ideologies. Conservatives and liberals.

Additionally, you are automatically going to get people's backs up with a question like that.

I've read this topic and to me your posts are displaying the same amount of intelligence that you accuse liberals of. This approach is all rather silly.

Conservative, republican, socialists, communists, anarchists. Whatever. How about pragmatists? Now there's a group I can support.

And your babbling and floundering surely didn't convince anyone that they were, either.



Are you reading and forgetting what the previous post says, I am not trying to convince anyone of a political parties ignorance, I am wondering what you people think. Do you people not have the ability to form your own opinions adn express them. It seems to me that everyone so far only has the ability to scrutinize what I have posted. Read the first post. I am asking a question, and only seen one response. I will try to clarify what I say here, or defend it. But, this was an opinion that I wanted ideas on. If you are to stupid to give an opinion on the post that started it, stay away. All you are doing is dogging my opinion. Get and express you own.

Sadly yes, liberals, as a general rule, are fairly ignorant, but only to concervatives. To us, liberals are invading, brainwashed, mentally incompetent people thinking only of controlling others, just so they can feel more happy and secure in their little pathetic world.

To anyone who DOESN'T think they want to control us, look at health care, gun control, exotic animal bans, etc.

Just to be clear, liberals probably think the same thing about us.



That, is the definition of a republican

Pragmatism kind-of works. It is a try it out and if it don't work don't do it. But, it gets the job done good enough.

Which is a hell of a lot better than the back and forth ideological bickering that has ensnared the country.

That IS my opinion on this topic you created and I exercised my right to express it. And that opinion, again, is that it was mostly babbling and floundering.

It just isn't very well written or well thought out, thus I have no desire to debate it, but did have a desire to express my thoughts on the content. And the reason I expressed it is because it seemed you were trying to belittle people if they didn't debate this in the manner you wanted them too when 1) several people made more than several fairly poignant points and 2) some just couldn't (like me) figure out what you were really trying to say, and it came across more of a 'i hate liberals' post cloaked in disguise of asking a question 'are liberals ignorant'.

And your picture about left-wing being for personal freedom, that is the way it used to be. But if you look back through the past 30 - 40 years that has changed drastically. It has progressed (not sure if that is the right word or not. It is more worried about being nice then letting people have their personal freedom, making everything equal. Life is not equal, if it was I wouldn't be working 12 hour shifts in the military, then working on the weekend just so my wife can go to school. But, I would rather do that then be reliant on the government. The government should rely on its people not the other way around.


Huh? I'm not sure what you mean about being nice. Who is relying on the federal government? According to my link, a lot of it is the more conservative states!

How about these personal freedoms that liberals fight for.
- Gay marriage
- Abortion rights
- Gays in military
- Freedom to walk down the street without getting harassed by authorities
- Many more.

It appears to me that they aren't really stupid, just ignorant. I was on a forum and got into an argument with one over the benefits of Government health care. I am a government employee and use government doctors and all that now. It does not work. There is also a reason that it really doesn't work that great in other countries, I know because I have actually been there. There is a reason that the ones that can afford it come to America for health care. But, it is just not that. There is a bunch of ideas that they come up with that sound good, they just don't work. That is where the history comes in. I am not a democrat or a republican; I am more of an anarchist. So this isn't a political thing, just wondering if liberals are really that ignorant.

Here are your two questions.
1) Are liberals really as ignorant as they sound?
And as I said in the second post, people in general are idiots. It is not confined to one affiliation.
2) Do any of them know anything about history or other countries?
Some do, some don't. Some base their opinions off of personal experience, some off of personal research, and some off of what Joe Blow on the television told them.

Other than that what is it you wanted an opinion on?

Just peoples opinions on if they are ignorant. I was wondering what other people saw in them. I personally think they are, but that is me. More people are concerned in dogging me then giving thier opinions. Since this isn't what I was going for this time. I am out. Will probably try again on monday when i come back to work. Hopefully get opinions then.

I think the problem was largely the rambling in the OP that obscured the question. It was disjointed and your own opinion didn't really seem to address the questions. But that's just my opinion.

I don't believe people are out to get you on here. They are stating there opinions and just disagreeing with what you are saying. Maybe not directly to whether they think liberals are ignorant but in a round about way they are stating their opinions on that specific topic.
