any "nice" conservatives out there?

[non-greek newby]

Hi Everyone,
I go to a pretty small school with a large liberal population. I find that many times the conservatives on this campus have been very unreceptive and plain nasty to anything that's liberal. I myself am probably somewhere in the middle, leaning towards the left. And I can say that I'm pretty tolerant of people, no matter what their political viewpoint. But, personally this is getting to be a little much. Has anyone experienced this at their schools? And are there any conservatives out there that can say they are not like this? Please help me believe you still exist.

No, there are no nice conservatives anywhere. They all kick puppies and run over little kids' tricycles in their spare time.

That's the definition of a liberal - at least in Canada...

I GIS'ed for "bitch please" and this is what I got:




So I think, to answer your questions, "No."

Now go to the poor house and save some trees, hippy.

I'm sorry to say these people are correct - all of us are horrible, vile people.

Now I'm going downtown to beat up some liberals. Anyone want to come with me?

Laugh if you care to, oh foolish ones, but does this give you an inkling of how "Conservatives" are viewed by we simple mortals?

About the same way as conservatives view liberals in Boston?

Fixed.

Sorry, but you can't add tacky to what already is.

Just to respond to this and what KSig RC said: I honestly don't think I'm making pre-judgements about a group of people based on my interactions with a select few. I merely wanted to start a discussion about intolerance of people based on a particular political affilation. Can we get back to that? Or, once again, have GC-ers gotten completely off topic?

The intolerance of the liberals, as demonstrated by the Democrats:

1 - not a single pro-life speaker at the Dem Convention
2 - believing anything Michael Moore says
3 - calling Al Franken's radio show "talk radio"
4 - blaming every failure of the welfare state on "not enough money, not enough staff, and not enough time"
5 - claiming the media is biased against liberals

Lil' Hannah is the typical lib, as proved by her signature:

"I just walk along and stroll and sing,
I see better days and I do better things"

But actually just posts personal attacks.

It's true. It's all so very true.
