One of my grade school friends, a groomsman at my wedding, started a blog (pre-facebook) and invited MichelleO and I to participate. It being a group of close friends from grade school, topics ranged far and wide. My buddy would constantly post the sort of things you see on Democratic Underground, and MichelleO and I would respond. Early on I told my friend I would stop posting responses there if he asked - as it was "his" blog. Instead he decided to ban me in a very public and rude temper tantrum because I developed and began to post my
"Liberal Indoctrination Exam" 10 questions at a time.
As a result
this study surprises me. - After all, if my grade school chum was willing to destroy a 30 year relationship because I asked questions ( with an option to give your own answer!) I would have guessed closer to 80% of liberals have banned people. I suspect that they lie so they don't seem as narrowminded and thuggish as they really are.
Another friend sent this to me- unsure of its authorship:
[blockquote]If a conservative doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one.
If a liberal doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.
If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat.
If a liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for
everyone.
If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his
situation.
A liberal wonders who is going to take care of him.
If a conservative doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels.
Liberals demand that those they don't like be shut down.
If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church.
A liberal non-believer wants any mention of God and Jesus silenced.
If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping
for it, or may choose a job that provides it.
A liberal demands that the rest of us pay for his.
I never met an open minded Liberal, never. they are pushy, arrogant, pridefull, ignorant, close-minded, intolerant, Godless, f*cks[/blockquote]
