Because extreme right-wingers are usually comprised of the unsuccessful. Either unemployed or at home on SSI for their fake disability, they have plenty of time to rail against those who are preventing them from being a success in life.

Liberals are usually educated and middle/upper-class, which entails having lifestyles that require actually having to work for their keep.

So let me get this straight .... anyone who objects to wanton criminal conduct on the part of the government is an extreme right winger?

So you admit that you all on the left are criminals and accomplices?

Joe Scarborough was part of a wave of super-Conservatives that took office under Clinton's presidency. Today, he's called a RINO by most of the Conservatives on here. There are more Liberals "defending" his Conservative bonafides than Conservatives.

That would be like Liberals calling Dennis Kucinich a DINO.

Wow ... you really are drinking your own cool aide aren't you?

Now for a reality check .... what party is usually supported by the generational welfare recipients ... the unemployed .... the illegal aliens .... the crowd always looking for a hand out and a free ride ... OBAMA PHONES .... low income assisted ... section 8'ers ... etc., etc. Oh yes, that would be all of the well educated liberal droolers who have demanded that welfare applications be provided in several alternative languages for those who can't manage English.

What a delusional bunch of miscreants you people are.

It's your imagination.
You're so used to left-wing bias in everyday media (not just in the news but also social media like Facebook, Google, Twitter, etc.) that it's become normal to you.
So when you encounter one or two opposing voices you become overwhelmed by the diversity and think C-D is dominated by right wingers.
C-D is diverse in its political ideology. I may not agree with a lot of people here but I appreciate reading differing opinions (when they're reasonable).

Those examples are not about political ideology. They are conspiracy theory based.

Yeah like that heavily Republican area like the South Bronx.

What stupid generalizations you have made.

Take Morris County New Jersey for example. It has been solid blue for decades and it is one of the wealthiest counties in the Nation.

It is a reflection of the country. The only problem in the United States is that the cities have more population and therefore more votes. Most of the country spaces do not feel that way but we are held captive by weird thinking city people.

Speaking of uneducated...it's Kool-Aid.

The folks you're speaking about (degenerates basically) aren't liberals. And if you think there aren't poor and degenerate conservatives looking for a handout (while blaming minorities and/or illegals for all their troubles), I have a bridge to sell you.

It's just entertainment, not debate.
"not debate" THIS forum is for discussion. If you want to debate, go to the debate forum.

And I do agree with most of your assessment.
