Funny.

But I never said conservatives were the enemy. Just agreed that they were belligerent.

At least when I tell a liberal they have a flawed idea, they tend to consider my point without bashing me over the head and calling me a names.

I envy your great luck in your conversations with liberals.

When you tell a liberal they have a bad idea they call you a monster for allegedly not caring about the "kids in (insert third world country here)".

Conservatives are worse, but let's at least give both sides a fair treatment.

Yes! Enough with the name calling!

I'm too dim witted and easily distracted to maintain a conversation if there is the least bit of non-loving language or a hint of a potential name-calling.

Stick and stones may break my bones, but names kick my ass!

Maybe resdistribution of wealth on a small scale would not help. Progressive taxes won't kill anyone. Instead of calling someone or ideas socialist or communist, explain why they are bad.

Whenever a liberal loses a fight to a conservative, he labels them a neocon, McSame, mKKKain, or other fear mongering terms.

There are also meant to fuel fear. Not all conservative ideas are bad. Lower taxes can be a good thing. Shifting people who are on welfare to working is not a bad thing. Lessening taxes on the wealthy might not hurt, as it can create more jobs. Instead of calling someone a neocon, McSame, or any other stupid name, explain why the issues are bad.

Look who's talking! Most of your posts are one liners with no substance added and no argument presented. Frankly, I think a little name calling is absolutely nessasary to distinguish each other from one another and demonstrate where the lines are drawn once one has presented an opposing viewpoint. The people who are usually offended at the name calling, I have noticed, are the liberal idiots who don't understand the idiocy of their philosophies.
