Re:Liberals? (Score 1)

My point wasn't that Americans as whole want contradictory things. My point is that so-called conservatives shouldn't try to lable their political opponents in broad, meaningless, fallacious strokes. It is asinine to say blame a host of opposiing political and social views on "liberals" without any sort of evidence. For instance, a lot of the white-collar workers laid off in the 80's and 90's probably voted Republican, as often is the case with lower-income, less educated white workers. This is ironic in the same way that voters from sparsely populated rural states of the West tend to vote Republican, claiming to seek smaller government and less taxes, yet these states get more federal dollars and services coming into their states than their citizens pay out in federal taxes.
