Actually, I try to listen to Rush daily (sometimes my job does not allow me the option).  And he does not "hate" anyone.  He just does not like them (hate is an emotion that is the twin of love, not the opposite).  He denigrates them, belittles them, and makes fun of them constantly because he believes 2 things about liberals (not your man on the street, but the ones in charge).

1. They lie all the time.  And they lie because if they told the truth, no one would elect them.

2. They are not about helping, but about gaining and keeping power.

Now I am not a republican, but I could almost say the same for them (as about democrats/liberals).  However, I do not believe that Conservatives are the same as republicans, nor that they are like liberals.  The basic difference between a liberal and a conservative is the same as the difference between an autocrat and an enabler.  Conservatives want you to succeed.  Liberals want you to be dependent upon them (in order to maintain their power).

So while I can believe you do not like Rush, I do not believe you are a liberal.  But labels can be applied to anything, so you can call yourself whatever you wish.

I'm not a liberal nor do I hate them.   Most of my friends are conservatives and I can't think of one who would use the word "hate" to describe the liberals personally.  They may hate their ideas/platform but not the person.   

In fact I have one very nice friend who is as liberal as they come and I think alot of her as a person.  Same with my very liberal grandmother.  We get into some very heated arguments about politics but in the end we love each other. 

You live at home with your mom right?

Of course you're a liberal.

Once you get back out on your own, earning a living, that will change.  You'll want to keep the money you earn for your family, not give it away. 

LMAO!  Who still lives with mom, KFC or Dr Guy?

(btw, chicklet, I'm outta Blogster and back home.  how ya feeling?  when i remember how to use the pms here, i'll send you my new phone #.  Facebook was just too huge for little old moi.)

/facepalm.

The above remark was for Tova, thought I was on her blog.  You just got some free karma, M-post, lolol!  Are you the one she's referring to?  Don't feel bad.  I lived with my momz too.  Until I was 17.

It must not be all that fun being a liberal these days under the Obama regime. Liberals these days remind me of the last Germans still Seig Heiling the Fuhrer in the bunker as the Allies advanced into Berlin.

Vee Need more gunz vee need more gunz vee izzz dah mastahhh race.....

Vee seig heil, vee seig heil right in der furhers face......

Uh, there's an app for that.

Oh wow, posted this one, then forgot about it.. LoL

Yeah, I'm still with the parents.. after 10 years of being independant, I'm only here on vacation terms until my job starts in February.  Since it's a job where, after they send me to school, they will then tell me where I'm working (Virginia/Maine/Cali/Alaska/Overseas.. )  I didn't feel like getting a place somewhere just yet   Luckily I have parents who are willing to let me stay with em (I am paying bills while I'm here, my own and helping them out so that I'm not 'leeching')

Now though, still Liberal.  Maybe not a crazy one, but still on that side boat.

Life is easier if you are a bit crazy.

Ah well, then, that's no fun.

Good luck on your job relocation!  Hope you get an awesome place....

Ha, not that I know you that well, but I would have described you as having liberal leanings but not a core liberal through and through.

It takes more than Rush to make a liberal-minded person. He certainly knows liberalism. I'd say from listening to his show that Rush hates liberalism but not liberals themselves.

DrG posts: 

I totally agree.

In general, Liberals have an obsession with their values and "rights"...but the right of human life to be born doesn't apply They rank Self esteem ahead of human dignity. THey love "change" as long as it weakens traditional values and they applaud government control over every aspect of our lives except sexual behavior.   

Liberals tend to depend and support centralized government to solve whatever problems come along. They express compassion by asking for more government programs or more funding for current programs, to help people which requires more taxation. Liberals believe that government should take care of the poor, educate children, and fund social services. Liberals cherish freedom to do whatever they want.

So Tova, what are some of your liberal positions? 

And they see it necessary to legally force others to do whatever they want too.

I also take issue with the claim that Rush "hates" liberals.  I've never heard him be hateful.  Hateful is saying people should die horribly.  I've heard that a lot of places....but not from Rush.  He doesn't claim to be tolerant of liberal politics.  He is in full disclosure of his politics.  He is for conservatism and against liberalism but he has never been hateful toward individuals or even questioned individual's rights, only their reasoning.

Exactly....case in point....Obummercare health control would have federally mandated for individuals to purchase health care or face a fine.

(BTW, a judge was just ruled Obummercare unConstitutional).

I think Rush got his reputation because he thinks logically, not emotionally.  So they assume when you do not "feel" for someone, you must hate them.  A very poor and incorrect conclusion, but when you are not thinking rationally, a common misperception.  Watch a liberal debate - either here or elsewhere - and inevitably they will do 2 things - assign their prejudices to you - and wish you a speedy and painful death. (If you do not agree to agree with them).  That is because to them, since you do not "feel", you are evil and a hatemonger.  They do not see the hypocrisy of their own hatred when wishing you the fast and painful demise.
