Re: Liberalism, whats so bad about it?



Make of that what you will. I don't have very much of an economic opinion, thus, it's in the middle.

People like Obama and Hillary, like Ted Kennedy and a plutherough of others, who want bigger government and populace who can't think or provide for itself. Steal from the rich and give to the poor. Wrong.
So, being 'wrong' qualifies as a mental disorder? Interesting.

Quote:
Some who call for changes: political correctness complicates things way too much, people immaturely screaming "sexist" at every thing under the sun, the age of suing for stupid reasons, giving illegal immigrants a voice and free school and college (while those who worked hard to get in don't because of them) instead of upholding the law and deporting them while persecuting those who dare speak against it, "smart fencing," and many more examples are reasons why I think liberalism is a mental disorder. In the sudden rush for change "for the better," some people don't realize the damage they're causing.
So conservatives don't act politically correct? Liberals are the only ones who sue for stupid reasons? I'm a liberal, and I don't immaturely scream "sexist" everywhere. These are all just sweeping generalizations, whichever way you look at them.


I'm just trying to say that the saying "Liberalism is a mental disorder", isn't really clever or witty at all, and it doesn't hold much truth in it. Yes, I'm sure there are many liberals in the US who are wrong about their policies, but these little phrases just reek of intolerance and closed-mindedness.

You might as well just say, "Hey, I'm a conservative, and I'm not going to listen to anything you say!"

Because that's the effect that it has.
