Face... I really think you are one of the most unworthy posters on MOL to ever make it past, oh, 100 posts.

You put up these ridiculous, bloviated manifestos that you didn't write, and you seem to think that we will accept the words as your own. I consider that to be the act of a LOSER. Can't you do better than that?

But even if you didn't write the words, you clearly believe in what they say, and that's where a real problem lies. The contention that liberals are tied to a group mentality that hates individualism is pure comedy. Liberals are often also referred to as "progressives," you know, the people who are always looking for a new and better way to do things? It takes a particularly confused mind to reach the conclusion that it is liberals who are mired in group-think, and that is particularly laughable considering that you needed some raving egomaniac to tell you what to say!

"Um... hey, everyone! I just wanted to repeat the words of somebody who says you guys can't think for yourselves! Yeah!! What he said!!"

I'm laughing my butt off, Face!

Note- If you haven't figured out that Face just might be doing this just to piss you off, you should be worried.

This is not a reference board, it's a message board. In any case even if Face were simply taking someone elses ideas, he'd simply be doing what Nohero's been doing here for 5 years. Why not whine and bitch at Nohero as well?

"Why not whine and bitch and at Nohero as well?"*

Maybe 'cause nobody does that better than you.




*Edited per request below, as the quotee apparently did not intend to use "Nohero" as a verb synonymous with "whine" and "bitch".

Lumpy - I'm on it. I just don't feel like depriving him of a response.

I don't think Nohero makes a habit of posting tirades from other sources without giving attribution. Anyway, he can form his own arguments, and will at least have the courtesy of following up on a thread, unlike Face. But hey, I'll let him speak for himself. We libs don't need to put words into each other's mouths, you know.

So, let's assume going forward that EVERYTHING Face writes is stolen from another source. Forget the messenger and crying about plagiarism, let's talk about the message, not who posted it.

One thing that libs should seriously do is stop uselessly criticizing the right so much, and utilize this "liberal group identity" energy (so true - that's why I stay independent!) and apply it positively to establish a decent set of leaders, because they are so sorely in need. It seems like right now they are spinning their wheels in anger (all together as a group of course).

very true Mem..

The liberals have pretty much made it clear that other than anger, they haven't much of an agenda.

Of course, since the "libs" don't actually control anything, being an opposition is about all they can do. Most of the complaints about the anger and criticism are of course coming from Republicans who naturally would prefer to do whatever they please without any pesky opposition.

And anyone who's truly an "independent" should be thankful that people on the left do stand up and criticize. Otherwise all we'd have is one group of people with one ideology doing essentially whatever they please. At the very least, there are people on the left who are trying to balance out Republican control of most of our government.

And the idea of an organized group of liberals is really pretty funny. Getting the various left-leaning groups on the same page is like herding cats.

Bush is one of the biggest liberal-spending presidents of all time. He's conservative only on social issues and even there, he's considered too liberal by some.

quote:

Conservative Christians label Bush too liberal for White House in 2004

By SETH BARTEE

Published: Thursday, January 22, 2004

Well, it's 1996 again and the Christian community who call themselves conservatives are ready to boot President Bush out of office if given the chance.
A battle line has been drawn and Bushrevealed.com, a web site devoted to revealing all of Bush's mishaps, updated by Christians, is calling for his ouster. The site calls for Bush to repent and turn from his blatant sin of promoting evil through public policy.
Bushrevealed, would be a great site showcasing Christian "legalism" or as some might call it, fundamentalism.
Even critics of the president probably would not call Bush evil.
In 1996 Bob Dole and Jack Kemp came under similar scrutiny from conservative Christians because they were too liberal for them. At 17 years old, I argued with a Christian who was supporting Howard Phillips, a conservative third-party candidate.
The guy could not get over that a 17-year-old was telling him that by voting for Phillips, he was giving a vote to Clinton. Dole lost by a landslide.
Enter George W. Bush.
Supposedly politically savvy Christians are mad about the Medicare bill, multilateral actions of the Bush administration now proposed in Iraq and the immigration policy that gives immigrants benefits while in the United States and abroad.
It seems that these Christians have forgotten about the eight years of Bill Clinton.
The problem is that Christians who live in a world outside of the political realm simply do not understand how it works.

The problem with libs, as explained by conservative pundits, is that they are unable to band together with clear channels of authority to push a unified agenda.

The other thing about them, as Face um, Boortz explains, is that they are "pack animals" who can only function as a group of like-minded individuals.

This kind of clear, cogent analysis is why we are so lucky to have Republicans in power today.

Notehead,

You gotta admit the liberal vehicle is broken and needs some type of overhaul.
