yup, sounds about right.


you know its disgusting how the liberals are the more intellectual but the conservatives are able to use fear to win out.
Al Franken said in response to the idea of liberals hating america (and i'm paraphrasing):
Of course liberals don't hate america, they love america. and so do conservatives. but its different kinds of loves. conservatives love america like a child loves its parent, a blind love where they refuse to accept that the parent can do anything wrong. liberals love america the way an adult loves, where we see the flaws and want the one we love to address and improve their failings.

its a good way of putting it, and an accurate way of showing that liberals often have a smarter way of putting things.
of course coulter's "liberals hate america more than bin laden" is easier to fit in a soundbite.



You, know. If you have to tell people you're smarter usually means you aren't. Seriously, I was joking arround, but it seems that you're demonstrating one of the fundamental problems with liberalism is that liberals assume that they're the smartest guys in teh room and therefore they assume that anything conservitives say or believe is stupid and if they dissagree it's becasue they're "dumb". It's an elitist attitude that isn;t backed up by the facts.

As far as Franken's marraige analogy, asside from being condecending and false, it also demonstrates it's own flaws. I can assure you that any marraige where the communication is primarily criticism and attempting to "change" your spouse is neither a healthy relationship or a very effective one. Seriously, would you marry a woman who's primary concern is pointing out what she views as your faults as an attemt to change you. And if her accusations turn out to be false she just looks for a new one? Franken's a Putz.
