This thread was started for the sole reason that a liberal wanted to poke fun of and impugn conservatives. And as I have stated, you cannot have an honest discussion with a dishonest person. The article posted for discussion has no value other than an opinion peice by some lib to make themselves feel better..
There really is no"debate" material in it, except maybe my brilliant copy and paste job throughout. Enjoy another!
"7) Liberals give themselves far too much credit just for being liberal. To many liberals, all one needs to do to be wise, intelligent, compassionate, open minded, and sensitive is to BE LIBERAL. In other words, many of the good things about a person spring not from his actions, but from the ideology he holds. This has an obvious appeal. You can be a diehard misogynist, but plausibly call yourself a feminist, hate blacks, but accuse others of racism, have a subpar IQ and be an intellectual, give nothing to charity and be compassionate, etc., etc., and all you have to do is call yourself a liberal. It's a shortcut to virtue much like the corrupt old idea of religious indulgences. Why live a life of virtue when you could live a sinful life and buy your way into heaven? If you're a liberal, why actually live a life of virtue when you can merely call yourself a liberal and get credit for being virtuous, even when you've done nothing to earn it?"
