You Might Be A Liberal If . . .

83

By Longhunter

It’s funny how Liberals always have this unquenchable desire to spew their hatred of Conservatives and what they stand for. Here on HubPages, it’s no different. And God help that Conservative if they’re also a Christian. People who are conservative tend to be quiet, non-confrontational people. When confronted by the craziness of a Liberal, a Conservative will typically just walk away because arguing with a crazy person is a waste of time. That’s when Liberals go nuts, like sharks who smell blood in the water, wanting more and more. The Liberal thinks he’s won but the truth is he’s revealed his true nature. He appears to be cracking up and in dire need of mental help.

The “talking heads” on TV are a prime example. Watch the Liberal talking head when the conversation turns to Christianity, global warming, or gay rights. They start screaming as if someone pushed a button, releasing all their pent up anger. And we’re suppose to take them seriously after watching them loose their mind on international television?

To my way of thinking, Liberals are confused. They want all the freedom in the world to do what they want, when, where, and with whom they want but also want a nanny government to take care of their every want and need while in the process of taking away all their freedoms. What? Seems to be more than a slight contradiction. Then, when they don’t get all that, they have to blame someone.

“I want to be left alone but I want someone to take of me!!! There’s someone, a person or group, that’s depriving me of that! How dare they!”

At least that’s their perception and the target of their anger are the ones who generally are sitting back, watching these temper tantrums in disbelief, thinking, “My God, they’ve lost their minds. They’re cracking up before our eyes.”

Some of the ones watching are the Conservatives and Christian Conservatives, most of who actually couldn’t give less than a tinker’s damn what Liberals do as long as it doesn’t effect them or their families. Unfortunately, the self-absorbed Liberal, thinking it’s all about him or her, thinks we care and want them to stop. Well, as a Christian Conservative, I’m here to tell you I don’t. As long as you don’t step within my personal space or that of my family, you’re welcome to act just as stupid and childish as you want. We have no doubt you will from how you've acted in the past so we’ll just sit back, watch, and continue to laugh at the silliness and stupidity. As far as I’m personally concerned, if a Liberal wants to do something that’s either going to hurt them or worse, who am I to stop the show? Go for it! Just warn me so I can get something to drink and pull up a chair to watch. Maybe I’ll call 911. Maybe I won’t.

Liberals, I’ve been watching you. I watch FOX, CNN, and, if I haven’t eaten, MSNBC. I listen to talk radio adding in a strong dose of common sense, realizing some of them are over the top with the way they see things. By doing this very unscientific research, I’ve determined that to be a Liberal, there’s several things you must believe in and I’ve come up with some subtitles titled “You Must Be A Liberal If...”

Liberals, please be aware the opinions given in this hub are mine and mine alone so don’t use them as an excuse to go off half cocked on the Conservative or Christian Conservative closest to you. Other Conservatives may have the same opinion of you as I but I’ll let them speak for themselves. Besides, you might end up getting more than you bargained for as more and more people are getting sick and tired of your childish, immature, “in your face” attitude.

If you can handle the truth, keep reading.

You Might Be A Liberal If . . . You Believe In Global Warming.

This is always a great topic to get the Liberals started on a rant. Tell them global warming isn’t real and watch the veins in their necks bulge with fury. Then tell them Al Gore is an idiot and they become just short of homicidal. Stand back. They tend to spit when they get that mad and try to talk.

Al Gore, a senator of mine at one time, retired from politics after a stint as VP and loosing to GWB in 2000. He couldn’t even carry his home state. He then took up the cause of global warming full force. Then it was discovered the scientists “cooked the numbers.”

Oops!!! . . . Damn it!!!!

But that’s okay. At least this wasn’t found out until after Gore amassed an estimated $100 million in net worth from people with less than stellar intellects who bought carbon credits. I hope you like those huge houses he bought with your money in Nashville and California. Oh, wait, I’m sorry, you’ll never see either one but I bet those carbon credits give you a warm, fuzzy feeling. Don’t they?

Is global warming real? I don't believe it is. Don’t tell me one of the causes of global warming is cow flatulence then go jump in your private jet and expect me or anyone else to take you seriously at that point. Should we be good stewards of the planet and recycle where possible? YES, of course!!!

With any luck and a huge dose of good ole common sense, maybe global warming will fade into history like Al Gore is doing.

You Might Be A Liberal If . . . You Think Most Conservatives Care About Obama’s Citizenship.

Was Obama born in America? Who knows. This long into his presidency, does it really matter? Unless we could use the revelation he’s not a citizen to roll back the damage he’s done, does it really matter? I will admit that it would do this old heart good to see Obama and all that knew he wasn’t a citizen ahead of the election doing a “perp walk,” being led out by the FBI in handcuffs, though.

What matters at this point is how good a president is he? From all indications, he would be a great president if this country were the USSR, China, Venezuela, or Cuba. Simply put, Obama hates America, its people, and all she stands for. Given the chance, I firmly believe he would physically stomp on and shred the U.S. Constitution.

Is Obama an American? Maybe by birth. That’s an argument I’ll let others fight. Unfortunately, it’s evident more and more every day President Barack Hussein Obama is NOT an American in his heart or in his way of thinking. He wants to destroy the very country he was elected to lead. Because of that, no, I don’t think he’s an American and it has nothing to do with where his mommy was when she plopped him out.

Being an American brings with it a love of country and our way of life. It that makes you proud to stand and sing the National Anthem. It brings a tear to your eye when you see the reunion of a family and their soldier, sailor, airman, or Marine. It also brings about an almost uncontrollable desire to stomp a mudhole in the ass of anyone who wishes to to take away your Constitutionally guaranteed freedoms.

Is Barrack Hussein Obama an American, someone who loves the country he was elected to lead? Sadly, no, not in the true sense of the word that made this country great.

You Might Be A Liberal If . . . You Hate Guns So Let’s Talk About Those Scary GUNS.

First, let me be up front and say I have a permit to carry a handgun and do so everywhere it’s legal to do so in my state. I don’t believe in gun control unless I’m the one controlling the gun. And, yes, I believe gun control violates the Second Amendment. I’ve written a hub titled “The Second Amendment.” Take a look. I’ve broken it down so simply that maybe even a Liberal will understand it. Mind you, I said maybe . I’ve met very few open-minded Liberals but maybe...

Now, what scares you about guns? And don’t say they kill people. People kill people with guns sometimes but guns don’t kill unless used to either do harm or to protect so save the Liberal talking point answer for someone who doesn’t know any better. Whatever your reason is for disliking guns, what makes you think you have right to stop me or anyone else to protect ourselves or our families?

Are you scared of criminals that carry guns? Yes? Wow, that makes two of us. The difference is people who have a permit to carry legally refuse to allow their familes or themselves to be victims. We won't sit around hoping the police show up in time to save us. We'll defend ourselves as the law says we have a right to do whether Liberals like it or not.

You Might Be A Liberal If . . . You Get Mad Because Christians Believe GOD Created the Heavens and the Earth.

Yes, folks, I’m a Christian and a Baptist. I proclaim BOTH LOUD and CLEAR. Don’t like it? Oh, well!!! Get over it!!! I’m not going to thump my Bible and try to lead you to Christ unless you want to go so there’s no need for you to fear this Christian.

Yes, I believe God created the Heavens and the Earth. Why do I believe this? Because I’ve been saved and have accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior and choose to believe it. In my Christian faith, I know it to be true. How on earth could that possibly hurt or annoy anyone when I don’t go around cramming it down other people’s throats?

My philosophy is you’re free to worship the way you see fit within the faith you choose. You’re free to not worship at all. IT’S YOUR CHOICE as it is mine. I won’t tell you how to worship so don’t tell me how to.

I’m tired of people coming at me because I’m a Christian and expecting me not to come back at them with everything I have. I’ve turned the other cheek and gotten it slapped as well. Turning the other cheek stops NOW!!!

Also, don’t come at me with a sword to cut my head off when I won’t convert to your faith and you’ll be just fine. You want to pray to Allah? By all means, do so to your hearts content. Just don’t expect the American people to not look at you with the same suspicion and contempt when one of the nut case extremists of your faith kills people in the name of that faith then you do absolutely NOTHING to stop them. Stand up to them if you believe it’s wrong! In other words, police your own faith. If you don’t, you WILL be looked at with the same suspicion and contempt as them. It’s called guilt by association. Look it up.

You Might Be A Liberal If . . . You Don’t Like Terrorists Being Interrogated By Any Means Necessary but Don’t Have a Problem with the Killing of a Baby Through Abortion.

Dude, how warped is this way of thinking? We can’t water board the terrorist that masterminded the attacks of 9/11 to gain additional intel but Liberals don’t have a problem in the world with turning an unborn baby’s brain into scrambled eggs during a live-birth abortion. I guess one must be a Liberal to understand the complete and utter stupidity of this mindset.

You Might Be A Liberal If . . . You Believe Big Government Is Not Only Our Friend but must be our Nanny as well.

Government is not our enemy but it certainly isn’t our friend. It should be small and the people who work for it, especially the elected ones, need to understand they work for us, not the other way around. You keep sticking your nose and laws in our business and we’ll fire your sorry butts in a New York minute and send you home to search for real jobs. I’m almost 50 years old, I already have a mom and dad, and I don’t need a nanny. Stay out of my life, my pockets, and my home.

The American people may not always get it right. The last presidential election is great evidence of that. But, we do know one thing for sure. This President and Congress couldn’t pour piss out of a boot with the instructions on the bottom of the heel. To them I say SIT DOWN, SHUT UP, AND LISTEN. You’re not kings, queens, dukes, or duchesses. You’re politicians, a lower form of life never to be found on the face of this earth. If you want to stay a politician, you’ll do as we, the American people, tell you to do.

You Might Be A Liberal If . . . You Think We Should Hug a Murderer Rather Use the Death Penalty.

Capital punishment. Hmmm. Lets see. Two 18-YO boys break into a house where a single mother and her two sons live. They kill the mother then they kill their intended victim - the sixteen YO son who just happen to have been nice to one of the older boy’s EX-girlfriend. The younger brother hears what’s going on and runs outside. The two older boys catch and kill him before taking his body back inside. They then set the house on fire up cover up their crime. Should we:

a. Give them hugs because they’re so misunderstood and, lets face it, jealousy IS a strong emotion.

b. Give them 40 years in prison only to have them get paroled in five, free to possibly kill again in a jealous rage.

c. Give them each a shot that makes them slip off to La La Land before we administer a second shot that sends them off to their well deserved second destination - the Long Dirt Nap.

d. Hang their sorry butts in the public square for all to see what happens when you kill someone.

This crime actually happened here in Tennessee. Liberals would say A or B. I would say C rather than D as D might be bad for tourism.

You Might Be A Liberal If . . . You Think All Conservatives and Christians hate Gays.

Listen up, Liberals. I’m first a Christian and, a few steps down the line, a Conservative. I don’t hate anyone. Even Liberals and certainly not Gays. I don't even hate my ex-wife who I have good reason to hate but she isn't worth the time and effort.

I, personally, believe being gay is not a choice for most Gays. It’s the way they were born. They are who they are. Do I understand it? No, but it’s not mine to understand.

You Might Be A Liberal If . . . You Think We Should Welcome All Illegals, Give Them Amnesty, Then Ply Them with All Kinds of Giveaways in the Hope They’ll Vote Democratic.

Liberals. Liberals. Liberals. What part of the word ILLEGAL do you not understand? Yes, we should deport illegals as well as their so called anchor babies. They can come back under four conditions. First and foremost, you must do so LEGALLY. Second, learn English. Third, get a legitimate job where you pay taxes and enroll in their insurance program. Stop sponging off the system. Fourth, for the love of God and all that’s good and holy, learn how to drive with some common sense and stop drinking and driving.

Summary

I've changed my mind. It's not that Liberals are confused. It's that they just don't get it. They don't understand the American way of life and that the American Dream isn't something just handed out by some government official. It's something you have to work hard to obtain and keep. They're lazy and would prefer to take a handout and live on the public dole rather than get a job and earn what they get.

Does this apply to all Liberals? No, just most. To them I say stop complaining about your lot in life and blaming it on someone else. Do something, anything, about it or get out. Or perhaps in words they'll understand - "You're draggin' me down, man! Love it or leave it, dude!"

Excellent rant! I would say as a Christian Conservative, I am not sure gays were born that way. Maybe the men are missing some testosterone, but if brought up right they will deny the perversion in their minds because according to God if a man lies with another man he will believe a lie and be damned!...........damned by God is certainly not a good thing.

Liberals love to say Christians attack gays, not true as you pointed out! But we must remember they say this when we try to stop them from FORCING their perversions on US! They don't get it, but if we allow perversion of of the natural then we will open the doors to more! perversion is never satisfied. In a few years I can see gays walking the streets holding hands with small boys etc. When we condemn that they will go back on the rampage again! This is why we now have to fight them tooth and nail in my book! We as working conservative Christians have allowed to much in this country! Time to move backwards and put gays and liberals back in the closet where they belong!.............voted up

Longhunter Hub Author 7 months ago

AR, my views on gays are due to having a cousin I grew up with who's gay. As far back as I can remember, he was different. He was what we called a little "sissy" back in the late 60's, early 70's. When he came out as gay, it really wasn't a shock. It was more like 'tell us something we don't know.' We accepted him the way he is because he's family and we love him. Do we understand it? No, but it's not ours to understand.

As for how I feel about it biblically, I love the sinner but not the sin. My cousin will have to stand before God as I will. God will judge him, not I.

As for other things regarding the gay lifestyle such as Gay Pride Week, I'll have to admit I think the whole thing is stupid and childish. I don't celebrate my heterosexual lifestyle so them celebrating their homosexuality seems stupid and melodramatic. No, I don't like the whole 'in your face' attitude of some gays but my cousin doesn't act that way. And, as a father of two boys, never once did I feel like he was a threat to either one.

I guess my attitude to their lifestyle is "you live your life, I'll live mine." I don't talk about what happens in my bedroom and I don't want to know what goes on in theirs. Is that over-simplified? For some, yes, but it's not something I worry about.

I will say I do like the idea of shoving Liberals into a closet. Better yet, I'd like it if they just got the hell out. We don't need nor want them here.

Thanks for the comments.

How rich...in one sentence AR claims one thing,and in the following 3 he goes directly into the hypocritical. Hilarious. How do you define conservatives? Simpletons who don't understand the concept of hypiocrisy and haven't a lick of curiosity as to what is really going on. Classic

Longhunter profile image

Longhunter Hub Author 7 months ago

Aaaah, good ole Texasbeta. I hadn't seen you around and wondered where you'd been.

I'll let you and AR duke it out on your comments to him.

As for your definition of Conservatives, I think if you'll do a "man in the street" series of interviews, you'll find the hypocrisy and lack of curiosity runs across party lines as well as ethnic ones. People just don't give a damn, unfortunately.

Lastly, I noted in my hub that what I'd written doesn't apply to all Liberals, just most. You and I may not always agree but we've exchanged enough posts, some good, some bad, that I don't think of you as the typical Lib.

A great Hub! I'm usually one to just walk away from obnoxius folks! The biggest division between the left and right is the true christian faith. Those on the left have a man made gospel with the government as thier savior. Most on the right see God as the true source of thier freedoms and liberties. If poeple have walked away from God, nastiness, whining and confusion will set in and that explain alot of this!-WBA

I think the first comment, by "dahoglund," is spot on: "What used to be liberal is now conservative."

That is absolutely true.

I nearly fell out of my chair when I read about the "Long Dirt Nap!?" :D ROFLMAO

I think your best line though was: "the American Dream isn't something just handed out by some government official. It's something you have to work hard to obtain and keep."

Amen! Brilliant!! God Bless You!

WBA, you're right.

There are some in this country who acted like Obama was the Second Coming but, like all simple-minded politicians, he fell woefully short of a lot of people's expectations. Liberals didn't have the sense to see him for what he truly is - an idiot who couldn't find his own butt with both hands and a map. Perhaps some of them have come to their senses and won't vote for him again.

James,

As you can tell, I don't have much tolerance for people that would commit murder. The very idea that these people get 25-30 years extra after killing someone for appeals chaps my butt. We have the technology now to determine if they're guilty. If they are, I see no need to waste the tax payers money to house, cloth, and feed the scum. Put them down like the rabid animals they are in MHO.

I'm glad you liked the American Dream line. It's ridiculous how many people think the government owes them something, everything. Here's an idea. To get a welfare check or card, a person should have to pass regular drug testing. Fail and your done. Liberals wouldn't like it but they don't like anything logical.

Anyway, thanks for the comments and God Bless You as well.

Wow, excellent and honest hub! I loved what you said about the American dream being earned not handed out. I totally agree. It's hard work, but that's what makes it worth it in the end. I also liked your thoughts on what being an American really is. Again, I agree 100%. It almost did bring a tear to my eye. It made me think of my brother-in-laws homecoming from Afghanistan last may (2010). It also made me think of my husband. He wasn't born in the states (He's English), but he has the spirit and the ideals of a true American. He proudly stood with his hand over his heart on the fourth of July this year and pledged his allegiance to our beautiful country. I voted your hub up, awesome, beautiful and interesting!

A democracy is not flat like a piece of paper. It is a complex, many sided figure. Without the variegated surface, the shape that is democracy will collapse and cease to exist.

It's easy to say the popular thing. Rousing rabble has always been a snap, compared to actual problem solving.

Name calling seldom does more than create anger and venom on both sides. Rhetoric is the fuel of arguments, anger and fights.

Why do we need to label people?

Don't we all want the best for the United States? We will only have it if all people have a voice and all people are represented...even your dreaded 'liberals'.

Longhunter profile image

Longhunter Hub Author 5 months ago

Billrrrr,

Democracy also isn't lazy ass people expecting their government to give them all they want and need.

I have yet to meet a liberal, in person or a few here on HP, that wants what's best for this country. They want what the government will give them without them having to lift a finger to get it. They want everything handed to them because they're too damn lazy to work for it. The OWS people are a prime example.

As for the name calling, perhaps you should preach the same to the liberals here on HP. I'm just one of those Conservatives that's decided to give as he gets.

Labels? Believe me, I held back big time!

Longhunter Hub Author 5 months ago

"It's very taxing on the brain."

Yeah!!! Theirs!!!

I have a cousin who was a FLAMING Liberal. When I say FLAMING, she HATED Bush with a passion unlike any I've ever seen. She and I would get into heated debates and I would try to pull her up to the adult level rather than the lowly, simple-minded Liberal level. It would get to the point our moms would tell us to separate and hush.

Since the idiots, Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Dodd, and Frank have been doing all they can to screw this country over, my cousin has swung hard right and has stated she would never vote for Obama again. She's FINALLY opened her eyes!!!

Of course, this does make the times we see each other a lot quieter but at least I've turned her away from the dark side. It only took 25 years to make it happen but it did.

The disease known as Liberalism is like a cancer. Some are cured. Some aren't. I'm just trying to help the ones I can. At least I managed to save one person from a life of stupidity, selfishness, and self pity.

Thanks for the comments and I'll look for the book.

People who are conservative tend to be quiet, non-confrontational people.

That has not been my experience. But I have found on Hub Pages many of my favorite writers are conservatives because I've found I agree with more of what they say than I would have thought. They are well spoken even when I don't agree with them. And I can disagree and not be called names. It has been a safe place to learn how people who think differently from me see the world. It is facinating.

Merry Christmas

Kathleen, when I wrote that about Conservatives tending to be quiet, non-confrontational people, I was in no way referring to myself. I've been told by my own mother that I'm about as tactful as a sledge hammer.

As for the name-calling, I've been called some bad things as well as good. In turn, I've given as good as I've received. When people find out I'm a Conservative, they immediately want to stick me into what their idea of a Conservative is and, when I don't fit, some actually get mad. It's mostly because they simply can't wrap their head around it. Then when they find out I actually agree with a couple of Liberal issues, they have a meltdown and, I must admit, it's sometimes fun to watch.

Merry Christmas, Kathleen, to you and your family. God Bless and thanks for the comments.

My own mother used to say I gargled with razor blades to get that edge in my voice and comments. It's an interesting way to live - not fitting into a category. I've always gone to a Southern Baptist Church and if I mention anything at all from a liberal perspective I'm immediately put on the prayer list. I've learned to keep my mouth shut. And all the years in newspapers kept the lid on pretty good when it came to saying what I really thought (Yes, Virginia, there really are reporters like that - at least in small markets.) That's why I enjoy HP so much. I can be a little bit liberal and a little bit conservative (country and rock and roll?)

I understand the mentioning of "anything at all from a liberal perspective I'm immediately put on the prayer list." I've mentioned my liberal views on gays and have offended a few people. Simply put, while some may choose the gay lifestyle, I feel most are born the way they are and it's not my place to judge. My views on homosexuality has confused and confounded a few of our more liberal Hubber here on HP as well as some of my fellow church members. Either case, they can't take it. Their problem, not mine.

I do like the "gargled with razor blades to get that edge in my voice and comments." That analogy would probably fit me as well.

Thanks for the return visit, Chris, and the forward to your friend.

As for another rant, I'm working on one. My health hasn't been the greatest lately. Nothing major but, when I am writing, I've been working on my second childrens book. I'm starting to feel better and am coming back but slowly. Believe me, I'm not going anywhere anytime soon.

Thanks, again.

Awesome article Longhunter. Enjoyed it immensely, even the comments. As a fellow Conservative Christian I agree with you 100%.

richfsr, I wrote this one to get a couple of things off my chest and to piss of a few Liberals. What can I say, it's a hobby and I enjoy it.

I always like hearing from a fellow Christian Conservative. Thanks for the comments.

Kathleen Cochran 4 months ago

Feel better. And it takes more than this to piss off this Christian Liberal. (Yes, we do exist!)

richfsr 4 months ago

Good for you Kathleen. Good to hear a Liberal comment without going into a rage. You sound like you would be a pleasant Congressperson to work with. Maybe with people like you, the two opposing sides would be able to compromise and get things done.

Longhunter profile image

Longhunter Hub Author 4 months ago

Thanks, Kathleen. I'm glad to know they do exist. I think the key word is Christian. Most Liberals just start screaming.

And I do feel better.

Thanks for the comments.

Longhunter profile image

Longhunter Hub Author 4 months ago

You're right, richfsr, there's not too many Liberals that don't just go off but there are a few. Apparently Kathleen is one of the few. I think the word Christian is the key to that.

Compromise would be good. I don't think it'll happen any time soon but it would be nice to see the people in Washington working for us working together. I think it's time to send all of them home that have forgotten we're the boss, not them. That includes the idiot in the White House.

Thanks for the comments.

I agree Longhunter. We need to kick out all the Democrats and Republicans in Washington. They all have forgotten who they work for. They seem to only work for the Party. There are smart Republican and Democratic ideas out there and these clowns won't listen to any common sense or reason. We need to sweep the floor clean and start over. I'd rather see a Congress of juniors that don't know what's going on, and have to feel their way around. Then have one corrupt incumbent there.

Longhunter Hub Author 4 months ago

To sweep the floor clean and start over, we'd have to outlaw all the special interest and lobbying groups. Take away all the money and maybe we could get people who want to serve rather than get rich.

Then, if there's evidence of corruption, they're tried. If convicted, they're kicked out of office and thrown in jail.

Thanks for the comments.

Awesome hub and very well written and thought out. Us Christian Conservatives won't be able to stay quiet for long because we are allowing the Liberals to define us in the media and elsewhere.

Longhunter profile image

Longhunter Hub Author 4 months ago

WebscapeOutdoors, Christian Conservatives MUST start being as loud as the opposition. I know it's not in our nature but I've found the Liberals/Socialists are the only ones getting any airtime and, through our passive nature, are appearing to agree with their agenda.

I don't know about you but I tried turning the other cheek with these guys only to get it slapped as well. I decided that would never happen again and have begun confronting them head on with the facts. As I'm sure you know, when you do so, it confounds then and the only reaction they have is to start immaturely screaming, appearing to be cracking up and in dire need of mental help.

They like to think they're going to win in November hands down. I'm beginning to think they're going to have their butts handed to them on a silver platter and, if not, we'll just impeach Obama's right after the election.

What charge? How about treason? At the rate he's going, it won't be hard to charge him with exactly that.

Thanks for the comments and the compliment.

Longhunter, I take it you are a big Tim Tebow fan?

Longhunter profile image

Longhunter Hub Author 3 months ago

Not really, Jersey. To be honest, I haven't paid the whole Tebow thing much attention. It is what it is and he's not a Titan so, no, I'm not a fan.

You seem to be coming at me with some anti-Christian animosity and we haven't dealt with each other before so let me say this. Yes, I am a Christian but I am NOT a Bible thumper. I'm not going to lead someone to Christ kicking and screaming. It would be a waste of time for both them and I. If someone were to ask, I'd do may best to help them.

That being said, I'll also say this. To me, religion or the lack there of is a very personal thing. You do your thing and I'll do mine. It's really as simple as that.

I have known a few Gays, and I understand what you are saying. It is a real problem because they are different, and still human.

Great hub. You appear to understand all of the problems we face and the cause of them.

Longhunter profile image

Longhunter Hub Author 3 months ago

Don, I don't understand them all but I'm trying.

What I do understand is this country is much better off when there are Republicans in charge. When the Liberals and Dems, or in the present case, the Socialists, are in charge, all the lazy ass, Kool-Aid drinkers come to the surface wanting their government handouts.

It's a shame we can't just force them out as they obviously hate the very country that they have every opportunity in if they'll only get off their lazy asses and make something of themselves if they'll just try.

Thanks for the comments, Don.

I think the reason is that liberals think like children. Daddy has deep pockets and gives everything free to the children. We are be governed by children. Liberals are children. Republicans are adults. Think about that.

Longhunter Hub Author 3 months ago

Couldn't have said it better myself, Don. They do think like children, lazy children that aren't good enough for anything but kicking out of the country.

Really nice hub, but one thing I gotta say. I'm from California, in the bay area. There ARE republicans and libertarians here!!! Was totally with you till the last line, dude :) .

Not a democrat for all the reasons you've listed above, but not a republican for similar reasons. I'm for small gov. both economically and socially, so church and state,capital punishment, and gay marriage are what separate me from the mainstream GOP. Just wanted to say a lot of what you said also applies to social conservatives and/or bible thumpers.

That said, well thought and well written! You have yourself another follower!

Bob Zermop Level 1 Commenter 5 weeks ago

Oh and just read through the comments. Dude :), I'm atheist too. Ouch.

That said, I respect everyone's right to believe as they wish. Not a fan of anyone trying to cram their ideology down people's throats, whether bible thumpers or the atheist equivalent.

Bob, I know not all Californians are Liberal Dems. My step-dad is from there and his opinion of the present administration is lower than a snake's belly. I'm not a Republican either. I'm a Conservative and believe in the Constitution as it was written by our Founding Fathers.

Thanks for the comments.

Very good Hub my friend and fellow conservative. I have come to realize it is impossible t argue with childish jealousy. That what liberalism is on it's face..those who are jealous of what other's have. If you show them fact, its propaganda. Show them corruption in their ranks, your a money grubber. Show them proof their leadership has a secret agenda to spend the country into an unrecoverable financial abyss, then your prejudiced.

I continue to ruffle their feathers though, hoping that some kid considering a lean in the liberal/socialist direction may take time to study the facts of what Socialism truly is, and not to believe the picture of fairness and balance they paint it to be. Every socialist dictator who ever came to power did so by division of class warfare. Like Hitler, he only needed a bad economy and a mass of disgruntled people who were too trifling to pull themselves together and decided the wealthiest of the society, which included a number of hard working Jew's were the Devil's, bent on hording money and making everyone else poor.
