Libs, Ultra Libs and moderates

[donttread]

We've spent a lot of time on this board explaining the difference between fiscal and social conservatism, Libertarianism and Republicanism etc.
But we seldom here about the different grades of liberals.
I) Liberal
2) Ultra liberal
3) Moderate

[Cigar]

I'm and "In Yo Face" Progressive and a Unapologetic Bleeding Heart Liberal.

If that requires an explanation, then I suggest opening The Good Book.

Yup, you are a fine example of the ultra lib

[magicmike]

No, he's a Democrat.

I think it is just a softer way of approaching life. a more gentle way, mind you. compared to the republicans, they will not allow so many guns nor police brutality, hell, the liberals shy away from cops with batons i would presume. this would be because they are afraid, yes?

So, is it right to say, the more liberal you are, the more afraid of others you are?

Lots. But my point was that he was correct IMHO, in his self assessment.

Yes, because libs see their protection as having to come from bigdaddy.gov instead of self defense. Even when the rapist is here now and the cops are 20 minutes away

[Mac-7]

We have to include sexual libertines in this group of libs.

the militants who push the edges of radicalism no matter what the consequences

[zelmo1234]

Your moderate are going to have some issue they tend to lean right on. Most will be on the spending side

Liberals will at least think of the consequences of some of their proposed actions


Ultra liberals are those that feel entitled to the earnings of others and they will blindly carry the water, as long as they are being promised free stuff.

[Mac-7]

i disagree that liberals think of the consequences of any policy they advocate.

there is not a single issue or a single liberal I can think of who fits that description.

No. Liberals don't see boogeymen in every closet and behind every bush. We are not afraid to mingle with those who are different from us.

It's conservatives who live their lives in fear.

Dr Who, Ravens Fan, Green Arrow. I would all put in that category. They still may support some things because they seem compassionate , but they will not support others because of the consequences.

Oh! the see the Boogeyman behind every Bush, (George, Jeb, Senior) :)

I guess you see something in them as wipe-every-nose welfare advocates that I don't.

[Common Sense]

It's called myopic tunnel vision.

Like a compassion for one's fellow man?

[Mac-7]

The welfare state hurts the downtrodden more than it helps them.

[Beevee]

The welfare state hurts the downtrodden more than it helps them.

Is that experience talking?

[magicmike]

Have you been among the 'downtrodden'?

[Mac-7]

Have you been among the 'downtrodden'?

Yes.

[silvereyes]

Dont listen to him.

Thinking is the process of producing thoughts. Do you qualify?

[donttread]

Actually Obama is pretty much as war like as Bush

[zelmo1234]

Now here is where you are wrong. Liberals and ultra liberals only care about the appearance of compassion. the ACA and current SS system are prime examples.

The ACA when fully implemented will hurt way more people that it helps and will continue to cause the price of health insurance and healthcare to dramatically rise.

SS is going broke and forced people to live in poverty after investing 6.5% of their income

What they care about is the appearance of being compassionate. Then they can sit back and tell all of their liberal friends, look what we did for those people.

they care very little if it actually causes harm.

[zelmo1234]

I don't know but the statement is true, in it's present form.
