A List Of My Favorite Things I Learned From My Liberal Facebook Friends
Social media now makes us more readily aware of our friends' and families' opinions, which can cause quite the collision in your friendships. However, it's important to remember that having friends with a difference of opinion around can provide for an opportunity to learn a little something from one another. Proving just that, let me present you with a list of things I learned from my friends on the left.
political-dissonance
Gender is an arbitrary societal construct, but Hillary must be elected because we need a female president.
Gay marriage and abortion are in the constitution, while the right to bear arms is not.
My opinion as a woman only matters if I’m a Democrat.
A man can never understand a woman’s perspective on abortion, but he can become a woman.
If two people want to get married, it’s none of your business. However, if two consenting adults agree to a wage for services, it is your business how much said wage should be.
You’re too old and too white to run for office … unless you’re a Democrat.
Death penalty for babies is part of women’s rights. Death penalty for sadistic murders is abhorrent.
Global warming is “settled science,” but a fetus is not alive.
Tolerance is a one-way street with liberals deciding the direction.
Christians are out of line for saying homosexuality is a sin, but Muslims throwing homosexuals to their deaths off of buildings are just practicing their peaceful religion. If you want it, you’re entitled to it.
If I am losing a debate strictly on facts, I can call my opponent a racist or a bigot and the debate is over because I win.
If Christians would just learn to coexist with the peaceful Muslims, they wouldn’t be beheaded… It’s the Christians’ fault because — Crusades!
Gay marriage will have zero impact on you … Now bake a gay wedding cake or get sued for all you have worked for.
The Bible is completely irrelevant and absolutely false … until someone hurts their feelings. Then, God is love, and, “Judge Not.”
Science is king … except for that one lesson in biology regarding identifying sex as male or female. That’s not accurate at all.
Koch brothers = evil corporate interests; George Soros = benevolent donor.
The religion of preference is Islam. The favorite special interest group is the LGBT community… It does not matter that support of the first would result in the eradication of the other.
Gender is fluid; climate is not.
Life begins when they say, and chromosomes don’t matter.
Molesting kids is okay — even poignant and funny — as long as it’s same-sex liberal molestation.
Atheists, who claim God does not exist, believe He will be the end of civilization if we worship Him.
Thanks to my friends on the left, everything is as clear as mud, and I suddenly see the error in my Christian conservative ways.
Not a danged thing!
That is a very good list. I shall steal it.
What I learned from my lib friends was to block and/or unfriend them.
It’s been great ever since.
That’s so true.
We believe in Marx, Freud,and Darwin We believe everything is OK as long as you don’t hurt anyone to the best of your definition of hurt, and to the best of your knowledge.
We believe in sex before, during, and after marriage. We believe in the therapy of sin. We believe that adultery is fun. We believe that sodomy’s OK. We believe that taboos are taboo.
We believe that everything’s getting better despite evidence to the contrary. The evidence must be investigated And you can prove anything with evidence.
We believe there’s something in horoscopes UFO’s and bent spoons. Jesus was a good man just like Buddha, Muhammed, and ourselves. He was a good moral teacher though we think His good morals were bad.
We believe that all religions are basically the same-at least the one that we read was. They all believe in love and goodness. They only differ on matters of creation, sin, heaven, hell, God, and salvation.
We believe that after death comes the Nothing Because when you ask the dead what happens they say nothing. If death is not the end, if the dead have lied, then its compulsory heaven for all excepting perhaps Hitler, Stalin, and Genghis Kahn
We believe in Masters and Johnson What’s selected is average. What’s average is normal. What’s normal is good.
We believe in total disarmament. We believe there are direct links between warfare and bloodshed. Americans should beat their guns into tractors. And the Russians would be sure to follow.
We believe that man is essentially good. It’s only his behavior that lets him down. This is the fault of society. Society is the fault of conditions. Conditions are the fault of society.
We believe that each man must find the truth that is right for him. Reality will adapt accordingly. The universe will readjust. History will alter. We believe that there is no absolute truth excepting the truth that there is no absolute truth.
We believe in the rejection of creeds, And the flowering of individual thought.
If chance be the Father of all flesh, disaster is his rainbow in the sky and when you hear
State of Emergency! Sniper Kills Ten! Troops on Rampage! Whites go Looting! Bomb Blasts School! It is but the sound of man worshiping his maker.
— Steve Turner
Oh, that list is so.... stolen!
My apologies.
This list is so true, it’s scary. The Trump victory has given us reprieve...for now. Clinton and company was ready to drive the stake into our heart. The left never gives up nor do the spineless RINO’s shut up.
That free speech is what liberals agree with.
That Democrats are peace, love, tolerant, how dare you disagree you evil hateful bigot!
That everyone who is liberal is smart and educated, and if you are evangelized and still disagree, you are stupid or evil.
That you cannot disagree on principle, only out of irrational anger or fear.
That love means giving people infinite moral license, because you don’t tell someone like that no - unless it is for conservative politics or Christianity based.
That a group of liberals can beat up a black homeless woman and say it is in the name of fighting hate.
That various under-privileged groups have greater moral weight than the “privileged” groups in arguments and disagreements.
That people can be assigned collective guilt and original sin based on their demographic traits, and akin to the Hindu caste system, if you self-flagellate enough, you won’t be an equal but will not be on the bottom of the social hierarchy.
That women choosing to wear a headscarf is a sign of freedom, and we can’t comment on those forced to wear it.
Not having half of all CEOs be women is a sign of female oppression but honor killings, FGM and girls removed from school at menstruation to protect their “honor” isn’t worth talking about.
A man’s hard gaze at a nearly naked woman is akin to rape, but women getting gang raped by Muslim migrants is to be silenced and discussion of it punished by the state. The reputation of the rapists matters more than the rape victims. And no, I’m not making that up.
Woman ‘gang-raped in refugee camp ordered to stay SILENT by activists’

German State Media Defends Not Reporting Girl Raped and Murdered by ‘Refugee’
http://www.breitbart.com/london/2016/12/06/german-state-broadcaster-fails-report-migrant-rape-murder/
That reporting true events contrary to the liberal narrative is fake news, and that liberals checking their opinions with other liberal opinion holders proves their views are true.
That segregating people based on race is OK when it is done for the comfort of the minority.
Actually they may have got this one correct: “Koch brothers = evil corporate interests.” From what I’ve seen lately, the Koch brothers are GOPe.
Brilliant list. Thanks for posting. Pure silliness.
Facebook sucks bump for later.....
so true
Some good ones there.
excellent list.
Not so much. Call it what it is. A mental disorder.
Great list. I have a “What you must believe to be a Democrat that is 300 entries long...and some are dated references.
Here’s something more recent...
You have to be a hypocrite to be a liberal.
For example:
1. Abortion (taking the life of an innocent) should be a constitutional right, while the Death Penalty (taking the life of the guilty) should be unconstitutional;
2. Burning the American flag is freedom of speech, while simply displaying the Confederate flag is “hate” speech;
3. The belief that there is a “rape culture” on campus, as most men are potential rapists, while also believing that men (who ostensibly identify as women) should be allowed to use women’s public rest rooms and public showers;
4. The belief that we should not “jump to conclusions” that an obviously terrorist act is an act of terrorism” before all the facts are in, while also believing that any developing story about an alleged attack on a Muslim is immediately considered an act of “right wing extremism” or a “Trump supporter”;
5. The belief, before Nov. 8, 2016, that Trump is outrageous for claiming that the election could be “rigged”, while also believing that, after Nov. 8, 2016, the election was “rigged”;
6. The belief that Trump’s refusal to say before Nov. 8, 2016, that he would not challenge the results of the election was a “direct threat to our democracy” as Hillary said, while also believing it is their patriotic duty to challenge the results of the election after Nov. 8, 2016;
7. The belief that saying “black lives matter” is ok and race-neutral, while also believing that saying “all lives matter” is racist;
8. The belief that cigarettes should be illegal, while believing that marijuana should be legalized;
9. The belief that more gun laws making it more difficult for law-abiding citizens to own guns will keep guns out of the hands of criminals and terrorists;
10. The belief that all criticism and disagreement with George W. Bush was patriotic, as Hillary screamed, but that criticism and disagreement with Barack Hussein Obama is racist.
11. The belief that a bakery should be forced, against their religious beliefs, to bake a wedding cake for a same-sex couple, while believing that its ok for a restaurant owner to deny service to anyone whom he believes voted for Trump or for entertainers to refuse to perform at the Trump inauguration;
12. The belief that colleges and universities should prepare students for the real world, while believing that those same students should have safe-rooms, coloring books and crayons when they suffer micro-aggressions and are confronted with harsh realities;
13. The belief that so-called “Sanctuary Cities” can ignore federal laws regarding immigration, while also believing that cities and States can be sued by the federal government if they pass voter i.d. laws that the feds disagree with;
14. The belief that it was ok when Obama patted Russian president, Medvedev, on the leg and whispered that he should tell Vlad (Putin) that he (Obama) would have more flexibility after the election in 2012, while also believing that Trump having any relationship with Putin is disastrous.
