Flaws in Liberal Thought

are there any other kind???

(actually, no, the OP doesn’t reflect accurately the views of ‘many liberals’. it accurately IMHO reflects the impression that some conservatives have of liberal thought. and FTR, I’m sure we could come up with just as innaccurate ‘views’ of conservatives. Often it’s quite handy if you allow the person actually holding the position/thought to express it in their terms. It neatly avoids such strawmen as the OP generated. OTHO, strawmen do have their purpose - they are quite good I understand, in the fields, scaring off crows, and fun decorations at hayrides and fall parties and the like. )

Sounds like someone found their parents thesaurus.

[Lost_Goat]

wring, it is a strawman. But there really are people who think that way, I’ve met 'em. For that matter, there really are conservatives who think like a liberal’s bogeyman.

Hell, I agree the OP isn’t worth answering; I just wanted to hijack on the hippie thing

World Eater - huh wha?

[wring]

I’ve met lunatics, too. But I know a lot of liberals who aren’t. a parody of an extremist position may in fact be held by some folks (on either end of the spectrum) however, it becomes a straw man of epic proportions when one attempts, as the OP does, to ascribe this extremist position to the general/ ‘most’ position.

Before we do that, we have to make sure all the schools are teaching the New Math.

I will not be having any pie unless it’s vegan.

And if the fruit in the pie didn’t come from a farm where workers are being exploited.

[gobear]

Can I still be a liberal if I’m a long-haired commie hippie, but not a fag? Please?

What if I’m a fag, but not long-haired, commie, nor a hippie? Do I have to be a liberal? (shudder).

**1) Pervasive (and, I would add, often unconscious) submission to Marxist ideology

2. A sense of powerlessness, the active embrace of which both confers the mantle of the virtuous downtrodden, and simultaneously abdicates any duty to behave in a politically responsible manner

3. The tendency to blame America first; to equate America with Imperialism, and any and all anti-Americanism with virtuous revolutionary effort on the part of The Oppressed

4. A refusal to criticize foreign political atrocities, on the grounds that The Privileged have no right to condemn The Underprivileged

Cite?

Yeah, it’s fun to laugh this off, but…

*I’m sick of all the shit-for-brains, dittohead, fascist, self-satisfied-Ann-Coulter-pictorial-masturbating, Fox-News-shit-swallowing, selfish, uneducated, uninformed, wannabe-somebody, dead-inside, friendless, sneered-at-in-the-street, * losers going around thinking they’ve got something important and original to say so by god you’re going to say it.

Yeah, you. Fuck off and go buy a clue with your $50 tax refund.

On the other hand, it’s nice for someone to remind me why december is fun and not just wrong.

Oh, and yourself.

Well, he left out making baby Jesus cry and teaching children to be gay. Come on, it was a halfhearted effort at best.

Cherry Pie Recipe

3 cups cherries, washed, stoned
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon flour

Line pie plate with pie crust. Mix cornstarch and flour with the water. Put cherries in pie crust. Sprinkle with the sugar. Pour over them the cornstarch mixture. Wet edges of under crust, cover with upper crust, and press edges slightly together. Bake in moderate oven for about 35 minutes.

You’re right-- I left out half-assed. And, while I’m at it, cowardly.

[Azael]

I was hoping this would be better…

I think we’ve found the problem. We’ve been using drugged up perishables in our pie.

[Jackmannii]

As regards the OP: Can we stop bashing Chumpsky now?

If we leave him alone, maybe he’ll come back with some nice pie recipes.

If we’re really lucky, he’ll take pains to attribute them to Betty Crocker rather than claiming them as his own.

You left out banning Christianity and appointing Hillary as lifetime Earthmother of the new feminazi regime.

My duty in the Evil Liberal Regime will be to ravage the virgin Aryan females when they turn 11!

Ohwo!!

[Spavined_Gelding]

I’ve wanted to post this since early this afternoon:

Hey ganglian! Boogie, boogie, boogie!

[Soup_du_jour]

I would call dibs on ravaging virgin Aryans, but I’m too concerned about the possible effect on the environment.

Is there a form I need to fill out, or something?
