a small observation

[Syrinx]

Whenever I meet sincere, down to earth people, they usually turn out to be liberals.

The people that have hateful attitudes, and that are prone to violence, usually sport W stickers.

Just an observation.

1. sad, but true...

I have found.

We are a silent majority. (liberals, I mean, in case that wasn't clear.)

This site has made me paranoid.

8. what do you mean?

Why has this site made you paranoid?

[Enthusiast]

2. Even of they're not violent

they are completely out of their fucking minds. They think President Obama is a fascist. This shows how confused they are.

Hey Republicans! Fascists, they are the ones that torture. You can always tell a fascist from the blood on their hands.

7. I know. It's crazy.

Bush, for eight years, was the very definition of "encroaching fascism." Torture, wiretaps, on-the-payroll "journalists," no-bid contracts, etc. But it took a black guy getting elected president to spark this corporate "grass-roots movement."

11. The grassroots movement is fueled

by misinformation by the Faux News Channel.

3. I'll make 2 exceptions to that -my dad and a doc I work with

My dad-29 years in the military-simply a conservative-but recognized human rights.Asked me on his deathbed to continue to advocate for help for the millions of Iraq War refugees.
A doc I work with-military reservist who has been to Iraq 6 times.Conservative who,when I told him of my long history of protesting the war and fighting for vet rights,told me"None of these people here have a card in the game.You keep speaking out-people will listen to you."

5. I know a few nice conservative poeple myself

I didn't mean to that all conservatives are a-holes. Just the majority. ;)

4. I disagree; I find the ratio more evenly balanced. I've known many

non-"down-to-earth," hateful (supposed) liberals, & many salt-of-the-earth conservatives.

6. I'm talking about in the "real world"

Online, we've got a ton of hateful, self-proclaimed "liberals." But in day-to-day life, I find that people who espouse liberal and progressive beliefs tend, generally, to be nicer people. I really do.

9. Yup, I noticed this years ago............

Conservatives generally tend to be very ignorant as well.

10. true

They're angry, but they're not really sure what they are angry about. It seems that they just want to be angry.
