Why Are Liberals So Condescending?

[D-rock]

I not necessarily liberal, but I find myself getting more condescending as time goes on. The problem is that I just can't suffer fools well. Not that I ever could in the past, but my patience wears ever thinner so when there are idiots out there I feel the need to tell them about their own stupidity and baring that failing at least I can show others that person's foolishness and maybe save those people from it. The whole thing wears on me. I don't like it but we have reached way past the point where being nice and pleasant in communicating to people like that, and sometimes people in general, usually works anymore. Often time it seems futile to the point I even wonder if I’m wasting my time with being too pleasant when I try to be.

So, you're saying that liberals are condescending because they think they're better than everyone else because they "historically have been the ones fighting for social progress."

What a condescending, pretentious statement to make. Color me surprised.

Because it's not true? The grandparents of the "TAKE BACK AMERICA!" brigade were not by-and-large the tacit acceptors of (if not active participants in) early 20th century racism, sexism, etc.?

Also, show me how Obama is a liberal. He's done absolutely nothing progressive while in office, simply rehashing much of Bush's agenda.

Very smug. It must be fulfilling to feel so self important.

And who's talking about Obama?

It absolutely is hard not to be in a certain respect.

I mean...when the average thinking person hears some of the rhetoric from GOPers under the circumstances...it's laughable.

And only in a place where people don't pay attention could they be taken seriously on the stuff they say.

The only reason to pay attention is the fact that these pesky little buggers are quite skillful at effecting their political will in spite of their shrill, petty idiocy.

People who don't know any better actually listen to some of these clowns simply because of their ability to rationalize the absolutely absurd with a straight face.

So... point being is that its such a chore to not talk down to people and tell them they're idiots is what you're saying. Being so paternalistic must be exhausting.

I'd rather be a condescending liberal than an inconsiderate, racist, ignorant, misinformed, oppressive, conservative douchebag anyday. Liberals have done a hell of a lot more for this country than any dumbass conservative ever did, if anything they deserve the right to have the attitude that they're better than conservatives.

 

[PlasmaTwa2]

Isn't everyone condescending? I've met plenty of conservatives that would be well defined by that word. :dunno:

What an entitled, pretentious, altogether uneloquent response. I think you've just about covered every stop word in the liberal lexicon. Well done. Racism! Oppression! Ignorant! You even threw in a "douchebag!" How original and measured. That Pulitzer should be showing up on your doorstep any day now. :thumbsup:

Wow, what a condescending response....you MUST be liberal.:1orglaugh

You are so hypocritical.... just sayin'.

Hypocrisy, in this case would involve me having said that I wasn't condescending, which I haven't. Quite to the contrary, one of the major prerequisites for being misanthropic is condescension. And I am a misanthrope for sure.

When someone is being intellectually dishonest, insulting your intelligence and attempting to play you for a fool with abject malarkey...they deserve to be talked to like they're acting.

They deserve their point and possibly by extension themselves to be bashed right, left, up, down and over and be made totally a fool of if at all possible.

That is my belief and that is the best way to either make someone shut up or discuss an issue with grown-up, intelligent consistency.

Why would a person deserve to be addressed with the courtesy of their point being seriously consumed when they are attempting to make a mockery of the discussion?

The amazing thing is how progressives tend to allow GOPers to talk down to them on issue and lampoon their point of view WHILE exercising NO intellectual honesty....It is really amazing to watch.

"Is the world a safer place without Saddam??" Huh???

To all the right wing, tea drinking, delusional board members.

The difference between you and the rest of us is all you can do is stir up problems, and never try and be part of any solution. The founding fathers coined the phrase UNITED WE STAND DIVIDED WE FALL!!! This country is in an awful pinch but instead of offering constructive ideas or formulating reasonable plans all you collectively can do is attack, attack, attack. WE WE WE!!!! I am by no means left wing. member of the NRA, Fully support capitol punishment, truly believe we should destroy our enemies abroad and so forth. But all you "Conservative" jackasses can to is cling to the dark years of the Bush administration, a time of blatant corruption and fear mongering. You really dont think our enemies are missing the fact of how deeply your terrible politics are dividing us as a nation???
We need leaders not impeaders!!! We need open minded discussion not pointless bickering. We are all truly Americans, not right or left wing. Take deep breath sometime and try and use your low ball IQ to see that the reason these jackoffs use these political strategies is because when you are emotionally jacked up you lose reason and objectivity. Quit letting Carpetbaggers like Fox News and Sarah, I cant even raise my own children worth a shit, Palin make your opinions for you. Educate yourself, think of yourself as an American first.

He's a uniter not a divider!

We have gone from the worlds leading manufacturing country to the place where the rest of the world sells what the manufacture.

Are you suggesting that the conservatives single handedly responsible for the new global economic atmosphere in which we live?

Lets bring the jobs home,

Fine, but ease up on all of the bureaucratic red tape, the nonsensical environmental regulations and ever increasing confisatory corporate taxes of which are imposed upon businesses, both large and small.

lets vote for people because they are intelligent or truly care.

Sounds good and all, but more often than not, we're usually left with the lesser of two evils . . . any ideas?

Lets punish those who rob America of her jobs for pure greed.

Care you elaborate on precisely just who we're talking about?

All right talk your shit, its all you have anymore,

Speak entirely for yourself, please!

but remember when your kids are speaking chinese in 20 years its because

. . . of the infamous most favored nation trade status ? :dunno:

Oh yeah GO FUCK YOUR TEA TOTING RIGHT WING ALL FOR ME NONE FOR YOU RUPERT MURDOCK FOLLOWING MY BIBLE IS COOLER THAN YOUR BIBLE HALF EDUCATED DIPSHIT ASS!!!!!!

You went from bombastic to civil and then back to bombastic again . . . this is progress?

 

[meesterperfect]

i believe its true.
its undeniable.
i've seen it too many times to dismiss it as just isolated incidents.
smugness, arrogance, disrespect.
boxer, emanuel, pelosi, schumer and many more not so famous dems.
it makes me want to slap slap slap the night away on their smug faces.

why are liberals usually more smug?
maybe because they think that there thinking process is superior to others.
they have a false sense of self esteem and it comes out in huge clouds of smug all the time.
thaaaaaaaaaanks!

Yeah you're right.

 

[Baill Inneraora]

The only time I know libs to be condescending is when yall try to argue the South wasn’t built on slavery in the 1800'S and when you argue that the earth is about 6k years old because of what yall preacher told you.

Sorry, you have to call an idiot an idiot.

 

[Zolf J. Kimbly]

Conservatives are too tied up in old tradition to move forward.

If it were up to them we'd all still be going to church 9 hours a day on sunday.

The colored folk would still not be allowed to use public restrooms or go out after dark.

Sex would only be done missionary style

And any advanced form of science would still be reffered to as magic.

Lets not forget that the earth is only 6000 years old.

 

[Death-Proof-69]

why must people be so close-minded that they blindly rail against the opposing party regardless of the issue? for that matter, why do so many people feel the need to belong to a political party? what happened to people making up their own minds? oh wait, that might not be the best idea in some people's cases, never mind...

 

[~~whimsy~~]

Liberals are condescending and elitist just as conservatives are uptight and overbearing.

Both have decent qualities about them I will give it that. Conservatives have a nice fiscal outlook; just as liberals have a overall decent social outlook.

I'm sure if the two stopped bickering like an old couple and listened to each other things might change. Who knows though.

Division seems to be the epitome of mankind. Mainly because people think with either the right or the left side of the brain....

 

[titsrock]

There's nothing quite like reading something hot off the press, eh?

 

[Facetious]

Come to think of it, your average street corner wino/beggar, illegal alien drug pusher, neo marxist / neo revolutionary or any other enemy of America for that matter are also very nasty, arrogant and condescending.

What might they all have in common?
They're all on the take and they are relatively untouchable.
The more lax and divided we become as a nation, the better they thrive.
