That’s the way it is with liberals. There’s simply no legitimate basis for disagreement with the liberal point of view. (Take septimus’ little screed just above as an example. To hear him tell it there’s simply no reason to hate Hillary Clinton save for Limbaugh/Colter lies. This, despite the fact that in post 108 in this very thread I listed many reasons people might despise her that have nothing to do with either media personality.) Either you hew to the liberal line or you’re a moron. Or you’re evil. Or, if you’re really able to score points, you’re a moron and evil to boot.
This is because liberals simply cannot tolerate dissent. You may have noticed that in communist regimes (i.e., liberalism given free rein) the most serious crimes aren’t theft, rape or murder, but criticism of, or activism against, the state.
But, since here in the U.S. they can’t come knocking on your door at midnight to disappear you or toss you into a re-education camp, liberals are forced to try to intimidate you into compliance through anger, insult, and whenever possible, peer pressure.
I saw a cartoon earlier today in which two men stood facing each other from about six feet apart. On the ground between them lay a number, which appeared to the man on the left to be a 6 and to the man on the right to be a 9. Each man was convinced his interpretation was the correct one, but in reality both were right in one sense and wrong in another. The ‘correct’ answer was subjective and dependent utterly upon the observer’s point of view.
So it goes with politics. The truth is that there are positives and negatives to both the conservative and liberal approach to political and social issues, but there seems to be something in the liberal mind that convinces it that no other belief can possibly have merit. And not only that but anyone who doesn’t see the light in the same way (and often, to the same extent) they do, has to be intellectually or morally deficient.
This is why they feel entitled to take over college administration buildings, block traffic, seek to prevent opposition speakers on campuses, physically attack supporters of opposition political candidates, etc. To their minds, their cause is so righteous and their views so obviously superior that any behavior is permissible and justified to defend or promote them.
Frankly you should consider yourself lucky that calling you a right-wing idiot is all they’re able to do here.
