I’ll just leave this here since we are talking about character/stereotypes of political parties.

Liberals love to preach pseudo-intellectual utopian ideals and do not have a firm grip on reality or learning through experience, nor any understanding of merit. They seem to want everyone to be equally poor and an equal shade of brown. They preach collectivism and working together only if it works in favor of their argument. If you refute any of their ideals or say something they don’t like, they either willingly interpret it as being racist, or denounce it as something equally universally despised as racism. Liberals preach about the scientific method, yet cry conspiracy whenever statistics or valid evidence to the contrary are presented. Being so elitist about citations, they always resort to [Salon.com](http://Salon.com) or HuffPo. (Okay not all with the last bit, but most). They do not understand any element of utilitarianism, nor do they even try to attempt to respect laws, not because of thought out reasoning, but because it doesn’t “feel” right.  
The hypocrisy is mind numbing. You keep telling the Middle class who are the spine of the economy that they are no good and have inherent evils, and you get The Donald. Then all of the successes of the [oh so horrible] administration in question are attributed to _their_ latest incumbent(s) doing a “splendid job” during their term.

Anyhow, on a serious note?, why does the BDU (Battle-Dress-Uniform) of Liberals seem to have to be on par with looking like Rachel Maddow on a daily basis? Is it supposed to be somehow frightening or do they have no sense of style?

In my opinion, of course. 🆒

(No need to reply, I’m not coming back to this post so save your strength for the anti-firearm fad)
