No wonder the USA is a very, very badly divided country.

Even though liberals supported the KKK...

Certain Democrats supported the Kluxers, but they surely were not liberal Democrats.

If FDR doesn’t qualify as acliberal, who does? He appointed klansman Hugo Black to the SCOTUS. Read more:

Right. Re: #9 I just quibble with the word ‘solution’ - I don’t think libs have any nor do they really care to solve problems, just pad their own fannys and make sure they’re ok...no matter what.

I agree with you. “Government intervention” or “government control” could be more accurate phrases than “government solution.”

Amd one rule to rule them all:

Liberals feel good about themselves when they have made someone else miserable.

13) To credit Rush Limbaugh, Liberalism requires no effort and no courage. Yet, liberals “feel” they are courageous.

Ask a conservative, “What do you think about that?”

Ask a liberal, “How does that make you feel?”

BTW, these rules can apply to Muslims. Tribalism, intolerance, destruction of enemies, intentions trump all, etc.

“Certain Democrats supported the Kluxers, but they surely were not liberal Democrats.”

Fun Fact, all the segregationists were rated 100 percent by NARAL.

Conservatives often marvel at the fact that liberals will happily elect every sort of pervert, deviant, and criminal you can imagine without a second thought. That's because right and wrong don't come into the picture for liberals. They have one standard: Does this politician help or hurt liberalism? If a politician helps liberalism, he has a free pass to do almost anything and many of them do just that.

Liberals should be compelled to watch videos of themselves being liberals.

I agree with post 6 plus you can add Woodrow Wilson to that mix.

No. 10 is key. Questioning the conservative’s motives and not his arguments. This leads to ... Conservative says “I question the validity of Affirmative Action Programs” Liberal says, “You’re a racist!” Conservative says “I question the validity, morality and practicality of Gay Marriage.” Liberal says, “You’re a homophobe!” and so on. The beauty of this for the Liberal is, with the name calling, the Liberal has moved the discussion away from whether the liberal program is good, effective and accomplishing anything. Instead there is a back and forth about whether the Conservative is racist or not and the liberal avoids any discussion of the ineffective liberal program.
