The Dichotomy Of The Left

Q: So, what do a Jewish lawyer, an African American street thug rapper, a Hollywood movie star, a dope smoking neo-hippie, a homosexual fashion designer, a college Professor, and a New York journalist have in common?

A: Nothing. Worlds apart, right?...But, think again. Give up? Chances are they’re probably all liberals. And they’re probably all voting Democrat in two weeks.

Q: Why? These people couldn't be more different from one another and, for the most part, wouldn’t be seen in the same room together much less hold hands and sing Kumbaya. Despite liberal protestations to the contrary, liberals are the least tolerant people in our society. They don’t even tolerate each other. Don’t think so? Just look at my above list.

Let’s face it. The Hollywood star claims to love humanity but isolates himself behind the walls of huge estates coming out only to put himself in the right places with all the right people. The homosexual fashion designer wouldn’t let the dirty-toed sandal wearing neo-hippie cut his grass, much less hang out with him in good fellowship. The college professor wouldn’t trust the journalist, and all of them would be afraid that the African-American street thug rapper would kick their ass and take their money. If he did the journalist would blame it on George Bush anyway. And if he did and got caught, well, that’s where the Jewish lawyer comes in.

But, come election day, they’ll all pull the lever or push the button or whatever, for the guy with the “D” next to his name.

Why is this, do you suppose? One possible answer is that the Democrats promise to be all things to all people. They are the "Social Engineers 'R' Us" party. The neo-hippie wants weaker drug laws, not stronger ones. The Hollywood movie star wants free range to live any way they want, without the constraints of moral obligations. The homosexual fashion designer wants gay marriage to be a right. The journalist and the college professor want to be able to espouse their liberal views without being second guessed by the right. The thug wants more restrictions on the police, not fewer. And the lawyer, well, tort reform isn’t going to be his cup of tea, is it? And they all believe the democrats can deliver unto them their fondest wishes.

That’s a lot of promises for the Democrats to make, much less keep. But they continue to sell their bill of goods to the public. And with the election coming up the public, like this group of very different people described above, would do well to keep this phrase in mind:

Caveat Emptor. Let the buyer beware.

I hit on this topic, sort of, a while back.

I said before that the Democrats like to be the party that gives people things.

First, they convince the populace that they need things.  The blacks, for instance, are told that they cannot achieve true equality in the United States with out things like affirmative action.  The farmers are told that they’d all lose their farms if they don’t get subsidies and aid from the federal government.

Then the Democrats position themselves as being the only people who can give these demographics what they need.

It’s a pretty handy way to get elected, because opposing the Democrats on these fronts leaves ones susceptible to “you hate farmers” and “you hate blacks” arguments.

That’s a pretty good sample of extreme stereotypes you’ve got there.

Do you mean to imply that your standard Rebublican voter would happily hang out with *any* of the aforementioned groups “in good fellowship”?  Maybe the college professor, if he supported Intelligent Design.

A political party that relies as heavily as the Repuplican party does on a single demographic hardly represents “tolerance”.

If you’re straight, white and Christian, join the Republicans on the right.  Everyone else to the left, please.

I’m not disagreeing with your Caveat Emptor and the Democratic party - clearly there are a lot of cooks in that kitchen.  But -

The element of the Big Bad Republican playing the bully on the playground makes the Democratic gamble much more appealing. 

Example - A redundant Federal-level ban on gay marriage **during a war** based on rhetoric sounding a lot like religious crusade.  The Nazi-esque “If you’re not with us, you’re against us, and we’re spying on you!” idea isn’t helping.

Personally, I’m fighting back fears that Mr. Bush has grown impatient with Jesus’ timing, and is acting irresponsibly.  Armageddon is coming soon anyway - why worry about little things like vague-purposed wars, skyrocketing debt, or global warming?

This may not be the fault of the Republican party as a whole. However, what’s going on now is scary. For those of us not lavishing in the comfortable illusion of a deity en-route to save us, the Democratic party offers some hope of an alternative, at least.

I really hope the next Democratic candidate for the Presidency isn’t another heartless corporate zombie-man.

I agree with the first two sentences Marc typed.
This post is fucking drivel. I am being nice when I say that. I hope you didn’t spend too much time thinking it up. Now for some of my own drivel…
Why REAL consevatives give a shit what federal laws are blows my mind. REAL conservatives should have a problem that there is even such a thing as a federal law. Let the states decide. Right? If California decides to make public sex legal who gives a shit? Its a state law. That’s what conservatives used to be in love with - state laws. Insecurity has trumped true political and economic conservativism.
The simple fact is that BUSH and the current conservative options don’t give a fuck about federalism… or reducing spending… or state’s rights… OR ANYTHING THAT IS POLITICALLY OR ECONOMICLY conservative. They are fucked up IDEOLOGUES and nothing more. its all based in insecurity related to Jewish lawyers, black rappers, and the lot you listed. These people fuck you guys up because they dont have a starched collar and they don’t shit rabbit pellets once a year.
Also - the drug thing… the terrorists are growing more dope in Afghanistan than ever under our nose. Why? We let them. Have you seen or heard anything in the news about us preventing it IN ANY WAY? no. Because the US-backed afghan gov’t DONT GIVE A SHIT IF YOUR KID IS A JUNKIE. Really they don’t. And you are complaining about relaxed drug laws.
Furthermore, someone who is terminally ill with cancer should be allowed to smoke weed legally if it helps their pain, nausea, and increases their appetite. Also, locking up people for drugs is fucking stupid and ITS A WASTE OF GODDAMN MONEY - but, oh, wait, conservatives have no problem blowing money like motherfuckers nowadays. Unless they are moving tons of drugs who cares?
THE OTHER THING THAT BUGS ME IS THAT ANYONE WHO IS FISCALLY AND POLITICALLY CONSERVATIVE, BUT IS NOT A CHRISTIANO-FASCIST IDEALOGUE HAS NO CANDIDATE. none. they all run on fear and homophobia and christian bullshit (abortion and the lot). What about the type of govenrment that made this country so awesome? The kind that let people control their own government in a direct way? Being conservative doesn’t mean bitching about how the blacks or the jews vote because your social conservativism is #1. being conservative means reducing taxes AND REDUCING SPENDING, giving the power to the state and local governments and respecting the state and local wishes… no matter the outcome… As long as its democratic. the amount of christian parenting advocated by most of you makes me fucking sick. why did the first europeans come here - because they didnt want douchebags shoving one set or another of religious morals and rules down their throats. we all learn that in like third grade.

For the record Dems are worse. They are the most corrupt party I could conceive of. One needs only look at Rhode Island to see that. The whole state is run by the mafia and its the most Dem state in the country. Our only hope lies with conservatives. REAL ONES. Not ideological parenting douchebags.

I knew someone would howl “racist”. Using stereotypes to illustrate a point isn’t racist. I’m far from racist. Of course, you on the left see racism in any comment that doesn’t adhere to your PC laws. Go ahead, Dave_Comet, cry racist just like the rest of you leftie parrots. That feeling of moral superiority you get from it must be very satisfying.

Pil, you nailed their ass. davey is the most convoluted leftard you are going to run into, wait till he tells you about how morally superior he is as he advocates infanticide.

You know the area where I grew up, hell where you live, is considered all kinds of racist. And I am here to tell you, I only saw real racism when I got around people from the northeast and northern tier states. People who never even met a person of another race are the worst.

And Democrats have it down to an art. Now davey will hop in and screech that I have not given any links to his stupidity and claim he is the greatest human being in all exsistence. As for sparkle, not sure which person using that usename will show up, have not gauged the pattern they operate in. Need a larger observational sample.

You know, the more I think about this, the more pissed I get. How the HELL was that racist, Dave? What, there are no African-American street thug rappers? In case you haven’t noticed, zippy, the impact of the rap culture on our society has been huge - and largely negative. Why are they immune from being used to illustrate a point?

Before you accuse someone of being racist think twice. There is absolutely nothing in that post that is racist. Did I use extreme stereotypes to illustrate a point as Marc pointed out? Yes. That was the most fun way to do it.

Get over yourself.

As for sparkie....your post is a fine example of your usual disjointed thinking,(whichever of you this is this time.) Try being coherent next time. And get a rational arguement while you’re at it. And a clue.

I didn’t think Pilgrim’s post was racist. Maybe not a very representative sample of the Democrat voters. If he added about 1000 blue collar, and about 200 white collar, workers to that sample (and removed the Jewish lawyer, they vote Democrat?), it would have had more accurate ratios.

<sarcasm> Yea well I hate waiting in line at the polls behind all the hordes of “African American street thug rappers”. Thats one of my biggest pet peeves. </sarcasm>

2hotel9, c’mon, try to stay on topic. I know it’s tough living with ADD, but you can do better than this.

I am entirely on topic, and “black street thugs” vote. They vote Democrat.

Hey, Dave_Comet....are you giving Sparkie a pass or are you going to call him a racist, too? Just asking. That’s a pretty damn definitive statement there, Dave. Come on, let’s watch you liberals eat their own young.

Marc, just FYI Dave is a supporter of infanticide.

That was a comment aimed at Dave more than at liberals in general, I think, though I don’t wish to speak for Pilgrim.

Marc, are you not the Marc who posts here concerning socialized medical care? I just scrolled up and read your post, I’d say the answer is no. Sorry. I scroll from bottom to top in threads, and when I saw “Marc” I just scrolled on by. Hang around, davey gets real entertaining after his nap time.

2Hotel9 on October 24, 2006 at 12:13 pm

My nap’s over.

Marc, I’m sure this will really surprise you, but I actually don’t recommend we eat our children. Shocked, I know. Nor am I a liberal, for that matter.

So when Rob suggested that a comment on how “liberals eat their own young” was aimed at me, he was being either very retarded or very dishonest. Possibly a combination of the two.

Dave_Comet on October 24, 2006 at 12:24 pm

Dave -

Actually, the “eat your own young” was just an expression meaning “to turn on each other.” I should have said “devour each other” or something like that.I wanted to see you address Sparkie on his comments since you had called me a racist. See my above posts. Gonna cut him slack?


Election ‘08 - We Are So Screwed

Pilgrim on October 24, 2006 at 12:37 pm

So now you are going to attempt to tell people you do not advocate infanticide. Good luck with that. Pil, you gots to use tiny little words, and concepts, when dealing with davey, it is severely leftarded.
