The modern liberal: the list

[Reason10]

1. The modern liberal has no problem with crime. https://lidblog.com/mugshots-antifa/

2. The modern liberal has no problem with pedophelia, child prostitution and child pornography. (Pretty much what liberals want to allow into this country from Central America.) https://www.presstv.com/Detail/2018/...ca-trafficking

3. The modern liberal has no problem with a man marrying his pre-teen daughter. http://ultadin.com/2018/01/28/muslim-man-marries-own-daughter-impregnates-her/

4. The modern liberal has no problem with a boy competing in a girl's competition. https://www.breitbart.com/sports/201...championships/

5. The modern liberal (who wants to allow Sharia Law) has no problem with homosexuals being executed just for being homosexual.


Hence the reason why Republican candidates all fight each other for the distinction of "Most conservative" but Democrats run from the term "liberal."

When you are always defining the other, what does that make you? Is your tribe better and that tribe over there bad. Does it make you a better person, is the other really the issue? Is it simply the childish 'no, you are'? Is there something you see in the other that you see in yourself but hide from. Does it fill your day and mind with 'we are superior, we know all'. The tone of these finger pointing posts often confuses me as they are definitions that the other, in this case liberal, does not believe. It is only the poster and his tribe or group who make the comparisons and do they really believe them? Groupthink is so unbecoming. PS I am guilty too. LOL


As a Rand admirer see quote in link. http://thepoliticalforums.com/thread...=1#post2712625


"The main hypothesis concerning group-think is this: the more amiability and espirt de corps among the members of an in-group of policymakers the greater the danger that independent critical thinking will be replaced by groupthink, which is likely to result in irrational and the dehumanizing actions directed at out-groups." Irving L. Janis in 'Sanctions for Evil'

The modern Liberal, Illiberal, Progressive, Socialist/Communist has no problem playing victim or victim waiting to happen. It is one of the things they do best.

Utterly and completely ridiculous. A Straw Man large enough to be seen from space. Any serious poster would be rightly ashamed at him- or herself for putting something like this up.

An example: the article you cited - and I really have to wonder whether you read it first - about the transgender athletes; most of the individuals quoted in the piece were dead-set against the policy of permitting them to participate in girls' competitions; only one or two agreed with or supported it. None of them was identified by political beliefs or ideology. Of the self-identified "liberals" on this forum, do any support the policy? We're not talking about a "liberal" policy here, but a seriously misguided one, and one that I believe will eventually be done away with.

A Muslim man marries and impregnates his young daughter; others defend executing gay people. And your evidence that "liberals" support such things? I can only guess - since you don't bother to cite any evidence to support your contention that "liberals" are okay with that kind of thing - because "liberals", rightly, oppose policies that unlawfully discriminate against the members of any religious faith, including Muslims. Or because many "liberals" decry the racist, colonialist policies of the Israeli government. Or - God alone knows why.

Your OP is a textbook example of bad faith posting and you should be sanctioned for it.

Oh hey look kids! Here^^ is a perfect example of what we call "projection". That's the unconscious transfer of one's own desires or emotions to another person.

In other words the fine fellow in the OP is accusing progessives of things he knows conservatives are guilty of and wishes they weren't.

Yeah Reason, lets just go with the list as to how the majority of leftists are of the Beta class. Oh and lets not forget the Deviate tag either!

You, 'Reason' and a few others, including one of the Mods and an Adviser or two, are responsible for increasingly making this "forum" into a sad, embarrassing laughing-stock.

Your opinions on the issues may be valid - I even share some of them. Your blanket vilification and silly lies about those who disagree with you on some of those issues, expressed in the ugliest and most ignorant possible way, make you appear as the most juvenile and uneducated cartoon characters imaginable. You're turning tPF into a bad joke.

It makes perfect sense that you, a liberal, triggered, would react negatively. That I get, but why on earth would you declare it against forum rules?

You all realize this is @decedent right?

Then there is Exos threads wherein these illiberals like to play and hang out.

Yet you run around here sticking up for illiberals who half the time respond with an LoL. Or use the failed tactic over sources. Or that just talk $#@! and name call those on the Right that put up thread.

You really didn't think you were standing on any solid ground to preach. Not after your days of running around here talking about self identified conservatives, did you?


Oh and btw let me know when you actually throw up some political threads.
