I've watched several hours of coverage between last night and this morning, and not once did I see anyone call the voters racist, old, or uneducated.

As a leftist I find it useful to use the government to keep the right wing from damaging me with industrial water and air pollution, markets dominated by Ponzi schemes, using monopolies to falsely inflate prices, spending my taxes on unneeded wars, forcing their religion on me and otherwise causing me harm. What they do with and too each other is none of my business. Just do not harm me.

We are not against either. We are against individuals exercising their freedoms at the expense of others.
Translation: We aren't except we are.

You stole that from the Libertarian philosophy, so you can shove off! You people take offense at everything and try to suppress any opinions other than your own, so YOU are exercising your freedom at everyone elses expense!!!

Progressives are extreme liberals, except they aren't liberal at all. They are totalitarians posing as tolerant; they are obsessed with controlling every thought and spoken word; and most of all they are psychologically challenged.


You are Marxists, socialists and communists... PERIOD

So first you tell the poster to "shove off", and in the next sentence you accuse progressives of trying to suppress the opinions of others. Pot meet kettle, as they say. And then, after telling some to shove off, you say they are "obsessed with controlling...spoken word". 2 pots.

Yes, I told him to shove off for taking the Libertarian PoV and trying to sell it as a progressive meme. I called the poster out for being a liar, which progressives are in general.

"You people!!"

Seriously: get out..get off the internet..live a little. I really don't see how so many people get off with this partisan crap. Liberal this, progressive that, "you people". Get out of your hole and deal with people one on one. It's much healthier for you and you'll be much happier in the end. Trust me.

I spent 19 years in public schools and universities listening to leftist drivel. What made me much happier was dumping leftist friends and family and limiting leftist exposure to work and the internet. Not having to listen to their sniveling in person has made life infinitely better.

The psychology of the Left is like The Borg... totally Collectivist. The idea of self determination/self governance is like kryptonite to them. They are perpetually evaluating which group they belong to.

You don't see any liberals on this board goes, "Why are right-wingers against happiness and sexual satisfaction?"
.

True. Instead they ask "Why are right wingers homophobic, xenophobic, mysogenistic women hating, bigoted, Islamomophobic gun nuts who hate The Chillren, the poor and the homeless and kick puppies and don't know what's best for them?"
