>>All the grade-school playground name calling aside, what is a typical liberal? Can you define this person for me? For I have the feeling from reading your writings in this forumn that I am not a typical liberal, or for that matter, a typical anything.

>>If you fall into the trap of generalizing people for the sake of a put down, then there can be no discourse or understanding. Without discourse and understanding we lock ourselves into being less than we can be, and all who would supress the free expression and interchange of ideas, be they left or right, are just petty tyrants. Certainly not worthy of the mantle handed down from those who proposed and brought forth this country.

>A "typical" liberal is one who laps up the democratic parties talking points without regard to the facts. This is exemplified by people who have seen Michael Moore's fraudulent 911 and know that it is a litany of lies, yet they still choose not to let facts get in their way. Typical liberals believe most Republicans are rich, gun toting, Bible thumping, anti environment morons. They also believe in taking money from taxpayers and giving it to people who aren't interested in working for it. The liberal wants to be able to feel good because he/she did something for someone. Never mind that they did something with our money. Conservatives want to help people too, but we want to see an outcome. We are so rabidly against the educational system because it has been shown, the more money you pour into it, the worse the product is. We want, expect and demand results.

>These are a few of the characteristics, as I see it, of a typical liberal vs. a typical conservative. Show me a program that is cost effective and delivers as promised and I'm on board.

It's as I thought. Just gradeschool playground name calling.
