    I've always wondered if there is any clear definition of either a liberal or conservative...and it seems that the only purpose associated to use of the term is for the one to draw negative association or definition to the other. Division instead of concensus.

    Self-appointed representatives of any cause usually do the most damage to whatever they represent...and these would be that 10% of Wack-a-dos Glen refers to...

    Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.

    If such a large percentage of folks hold these views though, we should probably be careful calling them whacknuts as there may be hundreds of forum members reading who hold those views. however since it's an online survey, I don't really put much stock in it
    I'm not an Obama fan, but the Antichrist is a bit far. And the survey methods are no where to be found; statistically I could prove anything with a 40% Confidence Interval.

    One other thing to always keep in mind when looking at "News" sources, They "sell" news it really is all entertainment, even the Internet, so naturally they are going to find the most entertaining from both sets of the Wack-a-do's

    Somebody talking with a lick of common sense is not very entertaining, in fact folks, if you fall in my version of the world's 80% you are pretty boring and insignificant...

    I knew the whacknuts of the right and left had some pretty "out there" views...but these percentages are simply terrifying.


    Quarter of Republicans Think Obama May Be the Anti-Christ - Yahoo! News

    32% say he is a Muslim.
    25% say he was born outside the US and is thus not eligible to be president (SERIOUSLY?)
    Sheesh! I wouldn't give him that much credit. I agree that Obama is very inteligent, and cunning. But the Anti-Christ? No. Maybe the Anti-Christ's pawn...or puppet.

    In general: in a two party system it seems to be quite typical (for both parties) to nullify and ridicule the opposing party no matter what they say or do. This is true in most countries with only two main parties.
    When things become inflamed, for a reason or another, calling opponent names is just another way to prove that we are right and someone who is antichrist cannot, in any circumstances, do anything worth our support.

    No need to take these online surveys too seriously. From the side or another.

    The key here is my use of the word Wack-a-do which is clearly meant to signify the 10% on either side of the political spectrum that the news media talk to... Leaving the other 80% of us that fall somewhere in the middle with no voice and basically no representation

    Thank me later for clarifying this for you


    That is dead on accurate.

    Here is the problem when either sides wack-a-do's are in charge the country is in TROUBLE. Right now it just so hapens the Left side's wack-a-do's are in charge. It's more than just Obama, Pelosi, Reed, Franks to name a few.

    So this country which is more towards the middle (a lil to the right) is in MAJOR trouble right now.

    As to the "Anti Christ" moniker it really is not too much (if at all) worse than the things said of Bush, Clinton, Bush, Reagan and Carter.... (well Carter deserved it) I just hate the Liberal's attitude that they can say anything about you but if you say anything about them you immediately are some thing horrible ie. racist, sexist, evil, clan member, etc.

    I think it has to do with the Peace and Love generation that is of age right now.

    Well, to be fair, in the case of Bush Jr., some of the things he said make one wonder if he believed himself to be a direct messenger of god. The opinions of most of the righty wack-a-do's matched up pretty seamlessly with his perception of himself.

    But your point about the *general* liberal tendency to take PC and victim-pity to a whole new level rings true. I've never fit cleanly enough into the box to decidedly call myself a liberal, but left-leaning on some things, yes.

    But this move towards extreme PC, to the point of intellectual dishonesty, is what decidedly moved me out of that camp. It's getting to the point where liberal cries of "bigot!" are being thrown around so carelessly and without provocation that they match pretty well with extreme conservative cries of "commie!" It makes pointing out *actual* bigotry a much more loaded and less successful task.
