Do Liberals live in La-La Land by telling each other how smart they are then blaming their failures on Bush?
Seems to be a never ending cycle: 1. We're smart 2. We've never made a mistake in our lives 3. Obama is our God 4. Anything that goes wrong is someone else's fault 5. When we hold public office, RESULTS don't matter as long as we can say we "TRYYYYYYEEEED"
Do Liberals live in a fantasy world?
Liberals, you like to say conservatives hate but what they really do is talk about things that you may wish weren't true, but they are. I'll use national security as an example, if you want peace then the best way to do it is peace buy strength. You guys like to bury your head in the sand and just act like the world is a magical forest where people dance and sing while eating gum drops and all getting along. But in reality, people hate the U.S. and will stop at nothing to destroy it and other religions. You think that by cutting defense, getting rid of nukes, and gun restrictions wills stop all the world's problems, but it only increases it. You act like Bush is the devil for trying to protect the country, but under Obama I feel way less safe because now Iran is running amuck and we have an islamic regime in Egypt, a new Somalia in Libya, Russia and China are taking charge, and you liberals have your heads buried in the sand and act like nothing is wrong. this is all eventually going to spiral into a huge mess, a mess that liberals create by being completely oblivious to world's problems. Same goes for the debt, recession, and basically every other crisis we are facing. I want the world to be safe, but the way to do that is to be strong. If we make ourselves weak do you think our enemies will just say ok lets be Friends? No, they will take us down. But you guys act as if we don't have any enemies and that all conservatives are hateful war mongers since you guys live in that magical forest place.
Why are liberals so intolerant of others’ belief systems?
Liberals are quite tolerant of other people’s beliefs. Believe what you like, within the bounds of respect and civility; none of us — except for a few radical atheist who have a bug in their brain about religion — are going to interfere or object.We liberals are intolerant of those who try to force their beliefs on us, or on others. Christians who try to impose Christian beliefs and values on the entire populace; Muslims who try to impose Sharia law; we are even intolerant of those atheists who try to impose atheism on everyone, rather than sticking with a more genteel secularism. If people want to try to convince us to agree with their beliefs, that’s their right, and we will respect that; if people try to force their beliefs on us using the force of law and society, we will push back, hard.Radical conservatives have a disturbing tendency to try to enforce their beliefs with violence, be it the explicit violence of groups like ISIL or the implicit violence of legal and economic sanctions. Why should liberal-minded people be tolerant of that kind of attitude?
Can liberals and conservatives compromise with each other?
Liberals should compromise on their anti-markets, anti-business, anti-rich people beliefs, and then conservatives should compromise on their anti-gay, anti-choice beliefs. Liberals stay out of conservatives wallets. Conservatives stay out of liberal bedrooms. It's called compromise and it will make everyone more happy.
Why do liberals like to live in small houses/apartments?
They live in urban areas with good jobs but very expensive large houses/apartments and can’t afford more or would rather have the money for other things like travel. Larger houses elsewhere would lead to wasting a lot of time on commutes and limit options for pleasures like dining out and live music.Existing home owners there want the tax revenue from new office space, but don’t want neighborhood character changes and school crowding. They want increased price appreciation from the artificial housing demand + supply imbalance.Where I live, cities permit building office space for about 10 times the people as homes. Starter houses (800–1200 square feet) near jobs are $1.2 million, $1.5 million adding a nearby walkable downtown, and $2.0 million with good public schools.Here’s an 850 square foot example built in 1953 which sold for $2 million because the 6,000 square foot lot will let the buyer scrape it off and install a larger house suiting their tastes: This simple Sunnyvale home sold for $2 million in only two daysIn my neighborhood near restaurants, other amenities, and primary commuting routes two bedroom condominiums are $1.0 million and three bedroom townhomes $1.5 million.A lot of people including liberals opt for less expensive dwellings like one bedroom condominiums and mobile homes.
Why don't liberals have any problems living off of other people's money?
It takes integrity to feel shame for living off of other people's money. They feel no shame because they lack integrity.
