You know I was noticing allot of people in their teens and in their early adult years sound like mouth pieces for extreme liberal ideas. I am 23 myself and my age group counts as well in this. It just seems to me like i have this impression they are regurgitating these ideas and maybe not thinking about it. I am not persay against being a liberal, but i have just noticed allot of people, in this age group especially, that just seem like liberal clones that have been given a certain point of view and they just pick it up and run with it.
It almost reminds me if someone watched Micheal Moore movies and memorized them all and then read allot of liberal books without putting their thinking caps on and then just turned around and started spewing the information they just obtained at anybody that crosses them.
Now of course their are people on the right wing that do the same. Anyone that says "Liberals are unpatriotic and hate america, and the right are for smaller government!"
Thats a stupid statement as well and is made by plenty of right wingers, but i guess what i am saying especially on these threads i have noticed allot of liberal views that take the extreme stance on something with a very closed mind and allot of them seem very bitter and hatefull, allot of times directed at christians in particular.
Anyway Discuss
i didn't put the segment in my post about the same can apply of ignorant right wingers as well for nothing man, but i noticed more of a extreme left wing cluster in these threads.
And about the fanatacism, well it depends how fanatic the person wants to be on either side is was determines how fanatic he is, not the group in genral. There are plenty of fanatics on both sides.
I just noticed a high cluster of Left leaning fanatics on these threads thats all.
I want to emphasize as well this is nothing against anyone in particular, 95 percent of you guys i enoy posting with regardless of the politics,
I am just shocked how extreme some of you guys are when it comes to liberal politics thats all
I would agree, in my experience, that youth tend more towards liberal politics (though there are plenty of conservatives) which isn't surprising, as liberalism, at least in theoretic, ideal form, would have to appeal due to the freedom it can seem to offer. I personally know few teens and young adults who would be excited about the things that conservative politicians stand for. At universities here the most populous political parties are always those with slogans to do with "freedom, equality and truth for all", which stage rallies and so forth against the evils of the modern world - capitalism, racism and so forth. In fact, one of my major assignments in high school society and culture had to do with a similar subject, and a survey of teachers revealed that about 80% of them had dabbled with socialist politics in Uni (even though a number were now ardent conservatives) because at the time liberal politics most suited their world view, or really, what they wanted.
To be honest, I am quiet proud to support liberalism, though I always try to avoid fanaticism. Because really, it should be about what is best, whether it is conservative or liberal.

Some people just have very extreme liberal views *shrugs*
Yeah, I'm one of those 'left-wing teens' (I'm 19). But I can guarantee you that I'm not just regurgitating stuff I've heard without thinking -- to use your examples in the first post, I've only seen 1 Michael Moore movie (Bowling for Columbine, and I didn't even see the whole thing), and haven't read ANY sort of liberal or left-wing book. Instead, I researched things that were important to me and formed my political beliefs based on that, and they happen to be very left-wing, some would say extreme.
Though I've got to say, in some other countries what people in the US consider extreme would be thought of as moderate.
I just love how we "liberal puppets" mindlessly spew regurgitated left wing propaganda. Like sexual equality, women and gay rights, separation of church and state, medical and scientific advancement, compassion and understanding.
While your regurgitated centuries old prejudiced, vile, sexist and homophobic Christian propaganda is "the word of God." Holy, divine and beyond reproach. (Hell awaits those who dare)
Now tell me who's not putting on their thinking caps?
im a conservitive im alos a 24 year old musicain i can see what you are saying about people that just seem to be beliving what they are told also i was raised as a libral and changed my mind as i got older

Conservatives could run the country better! You're right!
As is being currently proven.
Let's see:
We're at war. (Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, or terrorism, or WMDs)
The trade deficit is at an all time high.
The dollar is at an all time low.
Fuel prices are at an all time high.
The national debt has never risen so high during any presidency.
and on and on and on.
Conservatives sure are doing a great job running the country alright...running it into the ground.
Maybe if they spent more time trying to solve the nations major problems instead of imposing their religious beliefs into marriage and comatose patients this country wouldn't be in such a deplorable state of affairs!
There's only one thing conservatives should ever be allowed to run...a tractor!
Don't be fooled by oil prices. In this modern age of media reported propoganda, if oil prices were to drop so soon after a war in the middle east, there would be liberal papers and news agencies illustrating the fact that we went to war over oil prices.(as legitimized over oil prices dropping) As it is, the conservative propoganda machine is in control right now. They'll keep oil prices rising; not only to make a profit off of it, but to disuade the people who preach that this war is for oil and not freedom from saying "look, we went to war and the price of oil dropped!".

Oil wasn't really Dubya's driving force. He wanted to protect gods "chosen people" from the evil Muslims so he invaded Iraq to rid Israel of one of its many threats.
God will reward Dubya with eternal life in heaven.
Cant get that from oil.
no but seriously I dont just read something and "run" with it... I only protest against things that I think are NOT right, mainly homosexual rights and racism, yes I hate bush, but I'm able to live with the fact that he is president, and until another 5 years he's going to still be president...
do you even watch the news it all onesided and not just the news music telivison movies its actully hard to even by a conservitve in music everytime someone finds out they flip and are like your evil and ignorent
i dont think they are ignorent just cuse we dont believe the same thing if we all belived the same things and treated evryone excatly the same we would be clones
