Change a couple of words on a few and you get pretty much the same list for liberals:
1. Ideological Purity ( with em or against em)
2. Compromise is weakness
3. A fundamental faith in unproven science
4. Denying reality
5. Unmoved by facts
6. Undeterred by new information
7. A hostile fear of success
8. A demonization of capitalism
9. A need to remove responsibility
10. Intolerance of dissent
11. Pathological hatred of free trade

Obviously you are a viewer of "The Newsroom" on HBO. That piece was the climax to last night's season finale. Interesting description, I must say. It's pretty easy to figure out Aaron Sorkin's politics, if you have followed his career at all. I liked the series, although it could have done without the romantic subplots.

You left out beheadings ....... taliban turbin wraps whacked off 17 yesterday; not sure how many the Tea Party did.
You know the republic is in serious trouble when the defenders of liberty and advocates of fiscal sanity are chastised, ridiculed and maligned. Simply amazing.

Frankly, I find this thread title/topic to be entirely over the top and highly offensive and am asking the moderators to remove the thread completely. What a disgrace!

Actually it is the liberals that are totally against beheading. They are trying to outlaw circumcision even though there is a higher rate of penile cancer in the uncircumcised.QuakerOats;1255766 wrote:You left out beheadings ....... taliban turbin wraps whacked off 17 yesterday; not sure how many the Tea Party did.

The libs are waging a war against penises. A man's body does not belong to the Gov't. I choose to choose for my son.

I see the trouble as being worried about gay marriage, Worried about my wife's reproductive health, and suppressing votes of legal US citizens. I guess they forgot about the whole debt thing.QuakerOats;1255766 wrote:You left out beheadings ....... taliban turbin wraps whacked off 17 yesterday; not sure how many the Tea Party did.

So you think that it is OK for a mother to circumcise a live baby against it's informed consent and not ok for a female to abort a parasite?mella;1255858 wrote:http://www.rightwingnews.com/health/san-francisco-petition-to-ban-circumcision-is-about-much-more-than-skin/

I support a woman's right to choose. I'm think abortion is not right but I would never tell someone else they could not do it.Devils Advocate;1255863 wrote:So you think that it is OK for a mother to circumcise a live baby against it's informed consent and not ok for a female to abort a parasite?

I can be whatever you want me to be. I am so sick and tired of the right and the left (American versions). Neither party represents me and each party is full of loud mouth radicals.

I don't have like strong feelings on the subject but I also don't really see any reason why it needs to be done so it doesn't bug me if they'd ban them.
