Haven't you ever met one? The average liberal is like the worst conservative, some extreme Mormons might want to stop everyone in the county from drinking but a liberal on the other side of the country would happily dip into your pocket without a single ethical doubt.

The average liberal wants support the Constitution by putting exceptions in it for anyone they disagree with.
Obama's terrorist mentor wrote a communist manifesto detailing how to destroy the American democracy by screaming class warfare, racism and by bankrupting the nation. Then he described how they would set up education and death camps to fix America.
Yes, this was the same guy who calls Obama a personal friend and helped him get his start in politics.
Real liberals are worse than terrorists or cancer.

Wh do people always point to the most extreme of a group that they disagree with and cdemonize them by portaraying them as the norm? Both sides do this and its very annoying because its so obvious. Based on my experience I think most Americans (can't speak so much about other countries) are fairly moderate and lean right or left. But if they lean right then they think that people who lean left are as bad as the biggest leftwing nutjobs they see and hear on tv, the internet, and radio. This also goes vice-versa of course. This is stupid and damaging to our country. Corrupt politicians from both parties and whoever it is that influences the media are promoting this type of thinking to divide the American people and stop them from changeing things because any change (good or bad) will be immediately labled as bad by supporters of the opposite end of the spectrum. My nest post will be a quote of what George Washington said about this subject. He had the forsight way back in 1796 to warn of these potential problems with our republic.

"Let me now … warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the spirit of party generally.
This spirit, unfortunately, is inseparable from our nature, having its root in the strongest passions of the human mind. It exists under different shapes in all governments, more or less stifled, controlled, or repressed; but, in those of the popular form, it is seen in its greatest rankness, and is truly their worst enemy.
The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries which result gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of public liberty.
Without looking forward to an extremity of this kind (which nevertheless ought not to be entirely out of sight), the common and continual mischiefs of the spirit of party are sufficient to make it the interest and duty of a wise people to discourage and restrain it.
It serves always to distract the public councils and enfeeble the public administration. It agitates the community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot and insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which finds a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passions. Thus the policy and the will of one country are subjected to the policy and will of another."

Except it's not a false analogy because all the subjects have been observed doing these things.

The conservative method has always been to rule through fear by creating an "us versus them" mentality in the citizenry. Create a bogieman, then promise to save the rubes from that bogieman if only the rubes give them permission to do whatever they want. Whether Communist, Terrorist or Liberal, fear of the bogieman keeps the rubes from closely examining what those in power or those seeking power really want, namely to enrich themselves at the expense of others and impose their own moral code on everyone.
Conservatives have to have someone to hate. Otherwise they're exposed.

Your examples have been cherry picked. Watch this: an average conservative is like the worst liberal. Hardcore leftists might want stricter pollution laws but the average conservative wants to force teenage girls into carrying their incest/rape babies. You can't use one cherry-picked example to make a generalization.
Also, "happily dip into your pocket" is too vague. I highly doubt that an average conservative wouldn't also do whatever it is you mean by that.

All Americans out there have probably seen the occupy wall street protesters in their town by now.
Every day I ride my bike or walk from school to my job as an entry level network technician for $20 an hour.
This route happens to pass by city hall in my town.
When I see the lazy jobless dirty loser drug-addict hippies with their "down with capitalism" signs and their iPods, cell phones, and joints, I can't help but wonder about a few things...
1. What system exactly enables companies like Apple to exist? Capitalism
2. Why aren't innovations like iPods and cell phones invented in places like Cuba or North Korea? There is no competition or profit motive in Communist societies so there is no incentive to create new technological innovations
3. If these people consider themselves to be disinfranchised, why are they sitting around smiling, laughing, and smoking weed all day (not that i wouldnt love to do that) with full bellies and no worries while everyone else is out working or being useful, then COMPLAINING about not having enough money? Try being a productive member of society for a WEEK of your life you high school drop out good for nothing, then come back and whine about government aid programs.
4. I wonder what it would be like to stick these hippies in cuba for a month then have them come back and see if they're still whining about not enough welfare.
5. I REALLY LOVE HOW THEY BITCH ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT SCREWING THEM AS THEY DRIVE TO THE PROTEST IN THEIR CAR LISTENING TO THEIR FAVORITE TUNES ON THEIR PORTABLE DEVICES AND TEXTING ON THEIR CELL PHONES. SPEND AN HOUR IN NIGERIA br0
6. Why are you all smiling and laughing when your life sucks so much man? you don't look very disinfranchised and taken-advantage-of to me... in fact you just look like a bunch of low-life hippies who want their piece of the pie without working for it and have absolutely no grip on reality or any sort of basic logic or common sense so go fuck yourselves.
Stupid liberals and hippies suck so much its incredible.
I dont really mind smart liberals, but i cant stand the ones that think their smart.
but i like hearing smart liberal opinions sometimes
as long as you have a decent grasp on reality, i'll listen and respect your opinion... otherwise i'll dismiss you and see you for what you are: another one of the thousand people i've met that sound juts like you and know nothing.

Guy who posted the Washington quote here, guess I should've used a trip. Anyway, You people continue to call each other names and make these broad generalizations and exagerations about whatever groups that have different opininions from yourselves and NO ONE feels that they're being duped by the politicians and media into blindly following one or the other of these polarizing groups and perpetuating a system that stops anything useful from getting done? This is just what the people who want to maintain the status quo and are benefitting froma America's troubled state want and it seems to me that the masses really are just jumping right on board with it.
