    Re: Are liberals becoming dangerous again?

    Dont forget the liberals who assault the japanese in the Antarctic. Or liberals who assault black people at tea party events. Or liberals who assault tea party people at town hall meetings. Or liberals who threaten people at voting booths. There is quite a pattern of liberals using violence to supress others.

    Hold on there, pilgrim. Who said anything about the right not being guilty as well? The question is, "Are liberals becoming dangerous again?" not "Are liberals the sole danger to society?".

    The question remains unanswered: Have liberals ever been dangerous? When?

    Yes, our president has hung out with a domestic terrorist.

    I certainly believe that all conservatives suck off strangers in public toilets, you know, based on the evidence....
    He’s just some sexual deviate that needed to be brought back into the world the hard way, In fact, he was practicing a liberal ideology (You guys call it a lifestyle don’t you???)…
    The keying of SUV’s is a wide spread problem associated with the liberal ideology of their greenhouse gas thing, they set dealerships on fire and even destroy housing developments for their urban sprawl movements.
    I really don’t think the “look at them not at us” thingy works much any more.

    He didn't really "hang out with" William Ayers, and at the time he had anything to do with him Ayers was an ex-terrorist. And when he WAS a terrorist (or at least a saboteur), does it make sense to call Ayers a liberal? Most people would consider the Weathermen to be far-left radicals.

    I remember in fact that during the 2008 campaign, this association was used to paint Obama as a far-left radical himself. It's now clear, though, that he's not only more conservative than that, but more conservative than he portrayed himself in the campaign. So it's clear enough that Ayers is far to the left of Obama even in his current views, let along the ones he held in the early 1970s.

    I disagree; the only police action needed at a “Tea Party” rally is traffic control. When liberals show up in those old school busses the police are in riot gear and the businesses are closed and boarded up.

    The danger to society is the anger and hatred so easily turned to vandalism or violence that these differences bring out in many of the people at both extremes of the political spectrum.
    It could happen, but only liberals format it intentionally into the theme of their protests.

    We see some examples here, anyone who is firmly on one side or the other can expect to get some nasty comments back on some of the most innocuous posts.
    Again not the same. One side doesn’t consider it an organized group strategy to keep another’s message from being heard.

    I’m not sure how long this has been in the making but the increased pace of life with the internet, cell phones etc. must be contributing to the stress and increased pace of life. It’s kind of ironic that the technology that makes it easier to communicate can be driving us apart as communities. ( This is not only a n American event but is showing up in connected societies worldwide.)
    It’s only occurring with one side. No one cared or listened to their cries so they began freaking out the establishment. Today they call it ‘in your face”.
    We just want to work hard, enjoy life’s pleasures and not have to worry that someone will scream obscenities out the window in front of your children because they were told were bashing Japan because we have a “Buy American” bumper sticker on our SUV.

    Really? I mean, seriously?

    I mean, I guess I can't expect logical thought out of someone who actually thinks the Earth is 6,000 years old.

    Yes...Ayers was a liberal and still is a liberal. Also, calling him an "ex-terrorist" doesn't really mean much when he got off of the charges based on technicalities. He should be in jail still. He's also never recanted his actions. His girlfriend blew herself up making a bomb too. But yes...he's a liberal.

    Not really related to the OP and is kinda close to a personal attack.

    It's only logical.
    [SARCASM]Yes, republicans can be profiled by their homosexual lifestyles the same as liberals can be with their fires and turned over cars.[/SARCASM]

    I think that because media guys like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity etc. have overused the term "liberal" so much that they have perverted the meaning of the word.

    Were the weathermen liberals? I don't think so. They were fucking commie/pinkos.

    Not at all. I asked for his reasons for discussion and all I got was some disconnected rant about his SUV being keyed and the "War on Christmas". Those aren't reasons for discussion. If he wanted to point out how liberals are any more reason for concern than any other ideology, I'm all ears. If he had actual specific reasons to fear some sort of danger, I'm all ears. But, there wasn't any of that. It's not logical.

    It'd be equally ridiculous for me to say "Are conservatives becoming dangerous again? I mean, they're all for going to war and they shoot abortion doctors and commit hate crimes against homosexuals, so I'm worried that one of them will light a bag of poop on my doorstep if I say something positive about Kwanzaa."

    This isn't a discussion, this isn't grounds for any sort of useful exchange. Certainly, one can say "well then, don't bother with the topic", but that doesn't help, either. I don't bother with most ridiculous topics and the ridiculous topics continue. Unless I missed something and this website is now called "The Elementary School Playground", where all we do is base our ideas and discussions on idiotic stereotypes that have little truth in the real world, then I feel I should point out when a topic is ridiculous. And it is.

    And the OP does, in fact, believe the Earth was created in 6,000 years, which with the wealth of scientific knowledge we have today, is an entirely illogical belief based upon nothing but faith. That's not a personal attack, it is how it is.

    Feel free to report the post otherwise.
