From the link:

"Indeed, in many ways, Nutter is a conservative. Of course, he doesn’t identify himself that way, and it’s not hard to deduce why: in 59 Philadelphia precincts last November, Mitt Romney won precisely zero votes. And Nutter isn’t a Republican-in-hiding, having spent much of the 2012 election season appeadon't on TV as a campaign surrogate for President Obama. But don’t forget that in the bitter Democratic presidential primary in 2008, Nutter endorsed Hillary Clinton, then viewed as the centrist alternative to Obama.

And what would you call a mayor with priorities like Nutter’s—law and order, fiscal prudence, and personal responsibility—if not conservative?"

It's a popuar misconception that all liberals are fiscally irresponsible, anti gun and law and order, and personal responsibility......most liberals I know have some very conservative views when it comes to balanced budgets, taking responsibility, and support the 2nd amendment. What they dont support are the extremist views of the current GOP.

Most liberals I know do too, but I do not see that in the leaders they nominate and get elected.

I agree archer, that's why I try to avoid making blanket statements that put all liberals in the same box as the worst of them.

The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.

Not at all... when I said "I try not to" I meant that. Do a search for yourself in my profile and you willl see that most of the time when I use the word "liberals", I precede the word with something like "some" or "many". You'll have a difficult time finding me making a negative banket generalization about all liberals.

You made an intelligent post when you said that all liberals don't think alike, and I agree. You should give conservatives that same consideration or don't complain when a conservative makes a blanket liberal statement. Isn't that the fair thing to do?

You have 105 pages where you've used the word "conservatives"... finding the evidence of your blanket uses of the word is way too easy. That's fine, you are free to feel the way you do... but you can't be critical of blanket statements when you yourself are also very guilty.

I dunno Rick, I read through the first several pages of your posts using liberals and I found very few somes or manys to preface them.

the liberals squeal like stiuck pigs when the news reports are not slanted left. Get a life.

(liberals never mention that part).

(more facts liberals ignore)

you would see the liberals come unglued.

You liberals never answer that question.


The point is we ALL do it, we look at one poster or a few posters and generalize to the general population of liberals or conservatives. It's kinda silly for any of us to say we don't.

As I said, I try not to... I also try not to speed but sometimes I fail at that too. I only made the comment because you called my comment a joke. From now on I will be even more conscious of blanket statements of my own and by others.

And when you really look at many of the threads on this board, it seems like so many are banket statements right from the start. Example:

Joe Senator was caught with a goat dressed like a hooker... "Hey, look what YOUR guy did!!" as if the bad actions of one person represents the views of the entire party. It just gets old and really means nothing in the big picture... but it makes for good outrages I guess.

That's why so many check into 285Bound....to see what the latest outrage of the day is, who is foaming at the mouth over it, and who should be feeling guilty because it was their side which caused it.
