Why do Republicans LOVE to overuse the word Liberal?

[crazycarl]

civil rights is a social program, it requires law enforcement, civil action, laws to get passed, commissions to investigate abuses, etc. and yes it was mentioned above where you said 'I disagree with all of the above."

Liberals hate being called liberals, so in a way it is like 'they' are asking for it. There really is not other deragoutery term for Republicans, so GOP-fans kind of have a leg up.

Then again on the flip side the left loves saying how Republicans want to kill your kids, take away grandma's social security and are racists.

Social security is a liberal social program. So if you are against liberal social programs, your are against social security, or you are not being honest with yourself.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, you fail reading comperhension 101?

Did you fail logic 101? Or is it presumptious of me to assume you went to college? 😀
If you want to end SS, which a lot of conservatives, even admit in this thread they want to do, that is going to take away grandma's social security by definition.

Neocon makes me think of transformers. So when will Bush turn into a truck?

Dude, if Bush could do that I'd so vote for him. 😀

When ever I hear a Republican politico who's running for office, or describing the ills of our country, I can always count down the seconds till I hear the word 'Liberal.' It usually pops up in the second or third sentence.

Living in Boston, it sort of reminds me of the VERY tired, hackneyed phrase "Yankees Suck, Yankees Suck, Yankees suck, that RedSox fans chant at games. Just like 'Yankees Suck,' Republicans saying 'Liberal' all the time is getting 'O so tired.

I'm surprised the hardcore Democrats in the USA haven't thought of a similar, compact word that connotes soo much to disparage republicans?

Get the lighters and matches out. Kindling is above.

They do. They say "Republican(s)". Republicans use the term "liberal" as an adjective to describe an ideal. Democrats use the term "republicans" in a spiteful tone to characterize people.

http://www.pbs.org/now/politics/liberalism.html

y the 1980s and 1990s, liberalism had lost favor, and left-leaning politicians reacted by avoiding the term; in recent years, the term "liberal" has become a disparaging label. A CBS/NEW YORK TIMES poll cited by Nunberg showed that "just 22 percent of respondents were willing to describe themselves as liberals, against 35 percent who described themselves as conservatives." But when placed side by side with surveys outlining their political stance, Nunberg concludes, "a lot of people who call themselves moderates hold what most would describe as liberal views."

I'd like to know why they felt the need in the last erection to use the phrase: "Compassionate Conservative"....

Sure. When democrats call a republican a republican it's "spiteful" 😕, but when conservatives/republicans use the word "liberal" it's simply used "as an adjective to describe an ideal"? You really believe that? Have you heard conservatives use the word liberal?

Seems like you are seeing this in a slightly biased manner IMO.

 

Get out of here you pinko commie!

Well, however it sound to you, neocon is very often used as a vulgarity towards repulicans just as Liberal is used towards democrats.

just a straw man they like to beat around.

a diversion tactic. kinda like how they are supported by the big corporate money interests, the real elite, yet always harp about supposed elites like rosie odonald to cover themselves😛

I believe that Republicans compete with Democrats for what they believe in, and Democrats compete with Republicans for employment. I think Democrat's ideals are just tactics to gain power, and do not realistically help anybody.

JEEZ

You liberals must have gotten all a lather with all massaging of one another that has gone on in this thread.


If your positions on topics are liberal then why don't want to be called one? If you're ashamed of your positions then why do you have them?

You can't take liberal or conservative positions and then hope that no one will notice





BTW-Liberals have been calling conservatives, "arch" conservatives for a long time.

SO who stuck the gun to your head and made you click on this thread. You don't like it, IGNORE it.

Translation:

Republicans are right, democrats are wrong, therefore Republicans are better than democrats.

Same old partisanship that get's nowhere... 🙁

How about facing the reality that both "sides" have valid ideas and POV's, and no one POV is "superior" to the other?

Do you feel that having such a one sided view of things is a good thing?

If you don't think your own point of view is "superior", than why the fvck would you have that point of view?
Obviously each side thinks they are the one's who are right. If they didn't, they wouldn't stay on that side.

Republicans use the word liberal as a derogatory term just as democrats use the term "right-wing" or "religious right" as a derogatory term.

Its the only multi-syllable word that the majority of the Republican populace even knows. That, and "commmie". I mean, its part and parcel of how republicans evangelically preach - they use labels for the notion of the "bad guy" as a way to get across the simplistic binary to the neanderthals they manipulate.
Marlboro Joe in Bumnutts, Texas, couldn't understand why he was getting poorer and poorer until the Republicans told him that it was "the liberals" fault. So now, Marlboro Joe feels sleeps a little easier (with a little help from a six-pack of Pabst Blue Ribbon) knowing who's the "bad guy".

bwahahahahahahah

You are truly ignorant. I honestly can't believe that some liberals actually think the republican party is made up of nothing but uneducated hicks.

That's like saying all democrats are welfare and foodstamp collecting long-haired hippies. Most of us Republicans with a brain are smart enough to realize that it's ridiculous to make generalizations like that.

Did you say something about using labels?

Though I don't remember many Democratic candidates slathering their speeches with the words "conservative" or "right-wing(er)". Weird. Usually both sides have different versions of everything the other does.

Yea ususally they use terms like Neo Con and Fascist. They don't like to use Conservative as it really doesn't carry the negative connotation that Liberal does. I actually describe myself politically as a conservative not a Republican. There are conservative Dems, 1 or 2 i think😉 and there are a few liberal Republicans so rather than aligning myself with a party to describe my politics i just describe my politics. Conservative on most issues. As to why Republicans use the word liberal so much. I would guess because just as conservative is the descriptive label that most accurately reflects my politics I would say that Liberal most accurately describes the vast majority of their opponents the Democrats. How's that old saying go " If the Shoe fits"
