open minded liberal about golf.... http://www.city-data.com/forum/polit...not-sport.html

another liberal that is so open minded and tolerant toward republicans:



aren't these liberals at Columbia just so tolerant?


YouTube - Minutemen Protest Storming At Columbia University


check out this "tolerant" foul mouthed liberal in the blue hat.


YouTube - Liberal hot-head argues with Marines supporters in Berkeley
Yep. And your point? Isn't it true that there will always be extremists & exceptions on both sides of the fence? Or are you too close-minded to consider that possibility? Oh, & notice I didn't go run & hide? Thanks for the ignorant assumption though.

why is my assumption ignorant? i thought you were open minded. that means you should be open minded to my assumption. oh but i thought liberals were so open minded. would you like to rephrase your comment about liberals being open minded to "some liberals are open minded and some aren't" just like "some conservatives are open minded and some aren't".

Religion is the antithesis to true liberalism. Religion is closer to socialist-conservative type control.

booker, your one-man vendetta or whatever you're doing against me is boring me. Go find someone else who cares.

1. I used to not be but now I am leaning towards the why tell them what they can and can't do side.

2. i think late term abortions (or whatever the medical term for it is) are wrong. i honestly cannot say that if i was in college and got my girlfriend pregnant that i would have been against it at the time...so it would be wrong for me to say that i am totally against it.

3. of course i am...my wife takes it....why wouldn't i be?

4. no...i am not open minded toward Islam. sorry.

i never claimed that i was open minded to everything though. i said nobody is. i was just trying to prove to the other person that nobody is open minded toward everything.
