   ....of liberalism [1]than this.

     It takes a lot more integrity, character, and courage to be a
     conservative than it does to be a liberal. That's because at its
     most basic level, liberalism is nothing more than childlike
     emotionalism applied to adult issues.
     Going to war is mean, so we shouldn't do it. That person is poor
     and it would be nice to give him money, so the government should do
     it. Somebody wants to have an abortion, have a gay marriage, or
     wants to come into the U.S. illegally and it would be mean to say,
     "no," so we should let them. I am nice because I care about global
     warming! Those people want to kill us? But, don't they know we're
     nice? If they did, they would like us! Bill has more toys, money
     than Harry, so take half of Bill's money and give it to Harry.
     The only exception to this rule is for people who aren't liberals.
     They're racists, bigots, homophobes, Nazis, fascists, etc., etc.,
     etc. They might as well just say that conservatives have "cooties"
     for disagreeing with them, because there really isn't any more
     thought or reasoning that goes into it than that.

   The thing that most irritates me about liberals is how they want the
   government to do their charitable work for them. And by doing so they
   force everyone else to support the same charities that "they do" (by
   proxy, of course).
   I was reading the [2]Gathering of Eagles forum the other day, and a
   liberal was complaining about veterans wanting to exercise their First
   Amendment rights by opposing the anarchists and communists who will
   march to the Pentagon on March 17^th. He insisted that the veterans
   would be violent and he vehemently denied that his group did anything
   wrong in January, when the Capitol building steps were spray painted.
   Somehow he just couldn't imagine that vets wouldn't be violent or that
   anarchists and communists would be.
   Yet there he was, in the forum, picking a fight with veterans. Somehow
   the irony of it completely escaped him.
