.....That every time a White, Christian, conservative homeowner works his tail off all his life night and day so that he can live in a nice house, drive a nice car, own a big screen 1080P TV, crack open a nice cold beer and relax, the liberals and mainstream media vilify him as being a greedy monster who took food out of the mouths of some children whose parent(s) is on welfare?

I thought the American Dream was wanting a better life for yourself and your children. And I know that one surefire way to cut the deficit would be to get rid of welfare and tell those who are on it to find a job.

Don't you get it? The liberals will only accept you if you were an atheist Muslim homosexual transsexual crossdresser illegal Mexican environmentalist unmarried childless and pro-European Liberal.

Anything outside of their norm is considered racist, intolerant, non accepting, and bigoted. Which is weird because these are the 4 exact words that describe many of them. If you disagree with them, they'll give you a wide-eye rejection and point at you and call you a bigot.

*Normal, sane person to liberal: "Global warming" is just a big scheme that Al Gore made to get fame, money and attention.
*Mentally disordered and confused liberal who's eyelid twitches after hearing a statement that makes too much sense to normal, sane person: BIGOT!

This, right here, is a classic case of a strawman argument.

.......that you can't properly use the subject field?

In so far as your post goes, what the heck are you talking about? Please show some examples of how 'liberals' and the media portray normal people as being greedy monsters.

The last time I checked, the 'liberals' who are trying to protect social security and medicare are acting the interest of your demographic.

PS. What the hell does you being christian have to do with anything?

..I'm white, athiest, gay, fairly liberal, and I work my tail off to have the things we have.
It's not 'white, christian, conservatives'. It's "Honest, hard working" Americans. We're all greedy for wanting to better our lives.

You were almost right, though.

And to be honest, I really could care less about feeding other people. I have my own problems to worry about and my own mouth to feed. If I can feed myself, so can others.

And yes, I DO consider myself liberal.
Liberal, as in being open minded. Not being a total tool who wants others to have what I worked for.

There's a difference there

Why is it that rightwingers believe without fail that any attempt to ever increase taxes on the rich, (even back to the level they were pre-Bush tax cuts) is really an attack on this average White, Christian, conservative homeowner works hard just see he can crack open a beer in front of his big screen TV... That guy's not in that income bracket...

Why is that righwingers can never acknowledge that maybe some people with liberal viewpoints are likewise just average hardworking folks trying to come home to crack open a beer in front of their big screen TV...
