I realized that liberals really do live on another planet. Sometimes I feel like I'm having a Close Encounter of the Political Kind.
Conservatives can mistakenly assume that liberals think like they do, in a learned and rational way. This is an exercise in futility since liberalism is not based on logic.

You stole my thought. Somewhere in there should be Klingons on Uranus. :-))
Hey! Don’t slam Martians!
"This may be a hidden reason for their contempt for conservatives: they know that you can do stuff they can't; that you can survive when they'd croak; and that you don't need the government and they do.
Many conservative women -- like the intrepid Sarah Palin -- are more capable, more powerful, yes, more a "man" than some of the liberal XY specimens. And the utter shame of this makes them despise you -- and want to render you helpless too.
No, democrats are from the sewer, the good ones. The rest are from hell.
I'd say liberals are from hell.
And if they insist on remaining democrats (with all that implies) they should return there just as quickly as God can send them there.
Explains why hollywood is so liberal. Yep. Magical thinking.
Yea, she’s one of my favorites too
Since her husband remains a liberal wackjob and she lives in Bezerkley, I’m sure that Robin sometimes feels like she’s being turned inside out.
