Common sense is my credentials.

Let me guess, You want me to get a Liberal education from a Liberal University, by Liberal professors, composed, paid for, and created by Liberals.

To you, the only credentials you would ever trust are ....... Liberal credentials.

I quote myself to reiterate how true 1) sounds as this thread continues. Also, I was asked which one I fall into. I like to believe that I am a libertarian, aka 2), but have been accused of liberalism to no end. I am firmly against the US government involvement in restricting civil liberties, which apparently makes me a flaming liberal in this day and age.

My belief is that most of everyone is probably stupid to decide well for themselves, so deciding for someone else is even a worse of an idea.

Also, for the conservatives accusing liberals of this and liberals accusing conservatives of that... You are all idiots. We all are. Accept this. Move on with your lives. And I am sure everyone is wrong on plenty of things, just by virtue of us all being mostly selfish and pretty focused on what would fit in nicely with ourselves.

As to what an European visitor think of sites like http://www.conservapedia.com, I bet most are torn between tears and laughter.

You've been brainwashed to hate Conservatism. In reality you are as Conservative as can be. The founding fathers of this country based our constitution on a Libertarian Philosophy. Anyone who tells you otherwise is full of crap.

Reasons the Internet is liberal.

1. Liberals don't work and can spend more time on the internet. This is a joke, but in reality, most college students are liberal and college students usually don't work and that means they spend more time on the internet. Don't worry TL, you will all be conservative when you hit 50

2. The media is liberally biased. I think this is known pretty well. If you disagree, watch the different channels, count the # of praises for obama on each channel. If the # of praises is higher than the # of criticisms, then it is liberal, otherwise conservative. I think you will find one conservative network.

3. Conservatives don't have a common philosophy anymore. Regeanism is gone and Bushism is in which is really hurting the republican image. Bush promoted pre-emptive war, deficit spending, more government programs.

4. People tend to be naturally collective when on the internet and collectivism lends itself to liberalism.

5. Conservatism/liberalism is dying and socialism/libertarianism is slowly taking its place just like it has in the UK. The parties of the future are going to be more focused on overarching philosophies about government rather than current philosophies which rely on a small set of differences (abortion, gun control, and gay marriage). We can see it happening already with some of obama's very conservative policies and republicans liberal policies. The reason liberalism is more popular is because that is the current sway of society.




Personally I am a libertarian but I will lean towards republicans on some issues like the economy. However, on the war front and marijuana side republicans are becoming more tolerant as society gets more urbanized. Eventually republicans will drop this issue as well as the gay marriage issue. The only really major difference between republicans and democrats will be abortion (which the congress can't legislate anyway) which is why the tea-party is really big. The tea party represents a shift in the republican party away from neo-conservatism towards more libertarian based philosophies. Even when listening to someone as crazy as sarah palin, she is significantly more libertarian than bush ever was. The only question remains is how libertarian will the party be and how socialist will the democratic party be. The answer is of course, as idealogical as possible while still winning the moderate votes. For 2010 congress elections, moderates are agreeing with republicans on the economy and anti-health care legislation which gives the republican party the leeway to move more right and north (north being libertarian, south being authortarian).

This is the stupidest argument ever. Of course conservatives will see him more negatively thats the nature of politics today.

That's exactly my point. Media is more biased and this is easy to tell just by listening to the conversations going on in media. When bush we president it was the opposite. Conservative stations praised bush more often while liberal ones criticized more often. Media controls the internet is the connection I should have made.

Sorry for the double post but this shit is toooooooo funny.

I think Stephen Colbert is trolling the TeamLiquid forums.

Deadbutmoving KNOWS that Liberal educations breed liberals, I mean LIBERAL is in the name he gave them. But you may check and say, wait... Everyone major Conservative figure basically has gone to a so-called "Liberal" University. But you know why you are wrong? Cause you looked up in a book. Deadbutmoving knows the truth, because he looked it up in his gut! If he knew how to use a book, he would have seen that Universities were originally a conservative movement, and "liberal education" refers to a diversity of teachings. But that was probably written by a LIBERAL, and they lie anyways.

Trolls are fun

I don't even know who Stephen Colbert is...... and I've never read any conservative books.

It's just a well known fact that Universities are run by Left-wingers. I went to a university before I opened up my own business, and from my experiences it was a very liberal culture, with very liberal professors. You act like all universities are perfectly Unbiased. Either you have never been to one, or you are so brainwashed you can't even understand the differences.

I choose to think independently, I never let other people think for me. Whether they are teachers, family, or even politicians.

You might want to look in a mirror before you call anyone else a troll.

Hell Yea, I supported Ron Paul as well. I donated over $1000 to his campaign and I plan to donate another $1000 if he runs in 2012.

Yeah, I know that you did. I was making fun of you for it. You're a joke and always will be. Hopefully you're just trolling people, though.

Conservatives are a million times more biased than the liberal stations. MSNBC is liberally slanted, but its not close to fox news.

Oh it is YOU who are brain-washed friend. It's a "well-known fact" eh!?!?! Well-known by who? The LIBERAL Media? The LIBERAL country? The LIBERAL reality? God, the LIBERALS even steal our conservative universities. If it weren't for the LIBERAL media, people would know anyone smart enough to be a professor HAS to be a real conservative. They have stolen the conservative thunder again. I asked my common sense and it told me that since I once went to school and I knew conservatives there, universities are truly conservative, but the liberal world tries to discourage wise conservatives from going there.

All of this truth and much more is detailed in my new book, Glenn Beck and the Prisoner of Guantanamo Bay.
