Is it just me, or do the very liberal believe that no one has the right to a differing opinion? Am I looking at it from a skewed position in thinking that while conservative people have fundamental beliefs, they accept the fact that not everyone agrees, but very liberal people have no such thinking? I am beginning to think that being a lefty means believing that anyone who doesn't sing along with your exact tune, is just stupid. Liberal thinkers seem convinced that they have all the correct answers (they are the only ones who even know the questions), so all others are just irrelevant nincompoops.
Read some of the posters on newspapers' online message boards. See which people try to get their point across with facts and which are content to demean and insult. Listen to people when they speak. Which use historical data to support ideas, and which use the "we know what's best for you because you don't understand"?
Oh, I understand.
Ooooh - I actually enjoy reading other people's political opinions. I lean towards the conservative side, but do agree with certain more liberal policies. However, I like to ponder different ideas and/or possible solutions to our countries many ills, and don't enjoy the drama or shortsightedness of people who react instead of think. I look forward to reading about your viewpoints! :)
