Liberal hatred

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

defarge,

The elite care less about taxes than they do about other things.  They value being the holders of societal achievement more than their money.

what about me then? I'm not rich and elite and neither is my family.

First you Republicans complain about "class warfare" and liberals bashing the rich, now you say liberals think Bush is a class traitor. give me a break. All he does is benefit the rich and he is rich, he's just another one of the Bourgeoise, and he just benefits the Bourgeoise.

I'm going to have to laugh my ass of if you think I'm part of this so-called liberal elite. You're talking to someone who spent the first part of his life in a trailer park in the 8th poorest county in the US (located next to the single poorest) who had to be driven an hour to and back every time my family went to the doctor. And you think I consider wealthy Ivy League folks the top of the establishment? AHAHAAHAHAHA!

what about bandit too? the guy is rather similar to a stereotype of a "white trash" male.

and why does this so called liberal elite love inner cities and really hate suburbs as we've seen from this forum?

I suppose despite your frst statement you could still consider me a "cultural elite". I go to a very liberal public university. I have a large vinyl collection of obscurish "sophisticated" indie bands. I have modern art paintings hanging on my apartment's walls. So disregarding my politics and replacing them with some more traditional liberal ones, I would basically be what you are supposedly talking about. However my background is still there. So have I become some sort of traitor then to the "lower cultural classes"?

You are basically defining the "cultural elite" as Ivy League Degree, Starbucks drinking types. However, such types are bound to be found in the suburbs, not the inner cities. Yet as my threads on the topic have proven, liberals and radicals alike both absolutely hate suburbs. During such threads, we were accused of being "bigoted" toward suburbia, and yet suburbia represents exactly what you are talking about.

They believe that what makes you worhtwhile is what college you went to, what your last name is, what your politics are, and who you associate with.

I found this an interesting comment. What about the protestors at the ANSWER rallies, and the ones rallying against the WTO? Does this fit them? The last two, yes, but what about the first two? Do anti-globalization radicals judge people based on their last names and what colleges they went to?

Liberals hate President Bush more than they hate the Islamic fascists who have attacked us and are planning even greater attacks.

Their hatred of the president is beyond all rationality and borders on being a mental sickness.  Clearly, the president is not perfect, and it would be perfectly understandable to prefer to have somebody else in the White House.  But the liberal hatred of the president is so bad, and so irrational, that it is really a psychiatric rather than political matter.

And I think you correctly explain the reason for it - liberals are so absolutely convinced of their own superiority, so deeply entrenched in their prejudices and bigotries, that they just can't abide anybody who would call any of it into question.

And Bush has done that by rejecting their eastern elitism and embracing a lifestyle that they absolutely disdain.  Those who prattle on endlessly about "tolerance" really have very little of it themselves.  My experience is that most conservatives are far more tolerant than liberals.  Liberals are so convinced of their superiority that they see no reason to practice the tolerance that they are always preaching to others.

The only hate-filled superiority complex I can see here is coming from the post I am quoting right now. I have no idea what you're attempting to achieve by generalising and labelling all of those who don't share your political ideals as hate-filled and psychologically unstable, but it sure as hell won't build any bridges.

not to mention we never said this about right's insane hatred of Clinton. I don't see the difference.

What's also funny is that Ford, a non-Christian was accusing liberals including me a Christian of hating Bush because of Christianity.

That's like how my Jewish friend has been called anti-Semetic for disliking Ariel Sharon!
