Conservatives have a terribly distorted picture of liberals
I don't even recognize the depiction... It's.. it's like some alien from another planet.

I thing that they really believe this crap.

Baby killers, lazy, gun haters, unpatriotic America haters, Godless

1. "get to know us better"????
 They don't seem to accept the invitation ... and ignore the RSVP. (It's "French," you know.)

 That's the conservative mind.

I think Al Franken said it best -- a right-winger loves his country like a two-year old loves his mother.

12. Brain-washed robots
 Republicans are brain washed robots. They get all their ideas from Limbaugh and company. My own husband is a ditto-head who will complain about "feminazis" and I will ask him why he is sleeping with one? No answer forthcoming. It is a sad effect, people are completely overcome by that stuff, it is scary. I used to not be into politics so much but have realized myself to be very liberal in recent years, liberal meaning that I was fair treatment for people and policies that favor people over corporations and for this war for profit stuff to end NOW. I now see politics as life or death for our democracy (Democrats elected=Democracy survives). If that makes me something hideous in the minds of those that don't own their minds, (including my husband), so be it. They cannot be talked to, they will watch the evening news and proclaim anything they don't like to be liberal lies.

You have to be brainwashed and think like conservatives unless you are part of the ultra-rich power structure, and they are in charge of the brainwashing, mega-ministers included.

 Well, it's part of the strategy perpetrated by the right-wing bigwigs. Get people to believe the media--ALL of it--is liberal. Fact you don't like? It's a liberal invention. The only "unbiased" news sources are the conservative ones, filled with hateful invective. And of course, liberals have to be made out to be just one rung away from evil.

How else can you get low-income voters to vote against their economic interests? How else can you get them to support an overly aggressive foreign policy? The only way can you get them to support a party plank that is based on almost NO facts is to allege that the liberals are evil, that the "facts" reported by the "liberal" media aren't "true" and that every other country in the world is wrong and communist and anti-American.

What the hell is their not to know about liberals?  They are an inch deep, about six inches wide, and a yard long.  There is no mystery. 

Typical ass-backwards liberal ponderings born from ignorant arrogance.  Liberals think we don't like them because we DON'T know them.  That's a laugh and a half.

Okay, DUmmie lurkers, answer the following, ya spineless yellow wimps.

Do you or do you not want to "spread the wealth around" as your messiah has said?

This is what your messiah claims.

Do you or do you not support abortion at any time for any reason up until a day after the birth of a baby?

This is what your messiah claims, again.

Do you or do you not want to use the force of your god, the government, to force religous institutions buy health insurance coverage for medicines and procedures that are against their conscience?

Democrats fronted Sandra Fluke for this very purpose.

Do you or do you not support the right of all to a trial, and do you accept that should just one of twelve jury members decide that a man is not guilty, support that decision?

Just look what you have said about George Zimmerman.

Do you support the second amendment as it is clearly written?

You say repeatedly that you would ban all guns.

Do you support the right to free association?

You support affirmative action and attack the boy scouts for not having gay troop leaders, so I can mark that as a "no".

Do you support freedoms of speech and press?

Nope, and look at your own website for proof.

Do you respect the right of a free people to make and follow their own laws?

Judging by what primitives did to people and orginazations that supported Prop 8 in California, you do not.  That's not even counting getting a judge to rule an constitutional amendment unconstitutional.

I haven't even gotten into your sycophancy on a lot of other communist shit.  We say you hate America.  In word and deed you prove us right.  You even bitch since WWII that our army may kill bad people and break things.  You honestly think that people like the ****s in Gitmo deserve a trial, when quite frankly even the Geneva convention says flat out they only deserve a bullet.  You are everything we say you are.  We have your words and deeds of a century to tell us this.  Omaha Steve, Stinky the Clown, nadin, Eferarri?  Nut up, we know you lurk here, sign up and point out where I am wrong on any of this.

I agree. The DUmp is a pretty accurate cross section of the modern democrat party.

The democrat party is almost exclusively an asylum for minorities, deadbeats, anti-American nuts, and sexual perverts.

Virtually every democrat falls into one or more of those categories.

The only "unbiased" news sources are the conservative ones, filled with hateful invective. And of course, liberals have to be made out to be just one rung away from evil.

You know when I come up my driveway there's pasture and an orchard on one side and a bank of trees, Oregon Grape & native bleeding hearts on the other. During the summer the orchard is the perfect place for chickens to take dust baths and the pasture is a favorite place to eat seeds and find bugs and other favorite treats year round. The trees on the opposite side provide shade in the summer and a dry place to sit in the winter. It's especially favored because of the soft layer of needles from the pine trees. The majority of the chickens' day is spent in one of these places or going to and from them.

Still, every time I'm coming up my driveway there are a few standing in the middle of it, either on their way to a favorite place or picking up grit necessary for their digestion. Now, one would think when they see a large vehicle barreling towards them, they would quickly move to one side or another. But they don't. One would think they have blinders on or perhaps they panic and are thus unable to realize there are two places on either side that provide safety from this large looming truck that comes up the driveway (all the time). Regardless of this, they still run frantically in front of the truck as fast as their chicken legs will carry them.

Of course, I would never run them over (though I'm definitely tempted sometimes) but they obviously don't understand this. And for whatever reason they simply aren't capable of taking care of their own safety. But then, they've never been independent. With the exception of the time the hens spend laying eggs, they spend their days happily hunting and pecking without a care in the world. Their needs are entirely taken care of: food, shelter, fresh water. The one thing they don't realize, of course (with the exception of the ones that are pets) when they outlive their usefulness, when the hens aren't providing enough eggs to justify their feed, they're shot in the head, butchered and eaten.

Now, because I enjoy chickens and feel strongly about treating them with compassion & allowing them to free range, they have very good lives. But they could have ended up in a place where they're locked in a cage or a small yard everyday and roosters are usually culled from the flock unless it's a breeding farm. Being completely dependent on someone means they are completely at the benevolence of their owner. I understand why my chickens accept this, they know nothing else and have brains the size of a walnut. Thus, they're incapable of seeing a life beyond one of dependence. Why a free, thinking human being would want choose such a life, I'll never understand.
