Why do liberals call themselves "Intellectual Liberals"?

Different skillsets most definitely!
I bet Hillary could never tell you how many ceiling tiles there are in the average motel room...
But hey...field strip an AR 15. WOW that's a skill every politician should have. Do you think Sarah has perfected the gag reflex as well?

 

Because we're educated and believe in things like science and math. Unlike the conservatives who believe in things like Glenn Beck or Sarah Palin!

 

This post shows how you think. Not very intellectual. More like a perv.

 

LOL...true. Its rather immature.
I DO have my moments...

See...I honestly don't understand the attraction to Palin.
Is she intelligent? Well...I think the evidence strongly suggests she's not.
Is she dependable? Not really...not after she ran out on her term as Governor.
Is she experienced? She made a big deal out of Obama's having been a community organizer...so what's on her resume? Well...several "oddities" like the library incident in Alaska. So what? She has experience but never learns?
Would the world take her seriously? Certainly not.

So what IS the attraction? It appears to be her looks.
Cool...a pretty president.

The idea that she's even taken seriously as a potential candidate...only speaks to the numbness of so many minds...

 

What landmark legal cases did Obama agrue?

What major acedemic works on the law has Obama authored?

 

They grant themselves the power to self label....certainly no one in the conservative majority would label them that way...

 

You WISH you had my signature line. It's awesome.

I seriously think that's what's happening with politics. Everyone's over-mythologizing it.

 

Says the guy calling himself part of the conservative 'majority.'

 

There is much theorizing that must go into globalized, collectivism, social justice mind set, by the very nature of what their ideologies are. That requires an element of expanded intellectualizing to continually foster their personal presumption that their ideology is justified, and, gives them a personal percieved notion that they are intellectually superior, because they believe they are thinking "bigger/grandiose" regarding myriad causes.

Get a group of them together, they collectively support their grandiose ideology.

Classic Liberalism itself is noble. I can't imagine a decently just and successful society without it. What it has become is destructive, especially with the Progessive appetite, which has consumed Classic Liberalism.

 

I guess we all have our moments of perversion.

 

I suppose we could all compare how many books we read?

Or arrange a chess tournament? Those are fun.

 

One of the problems is that it's hard to define intelligence. But the liberal who label themseves as intellegent, in my opinion, must not be very intellegent. Because if you were smart you would know that no one knows everything. Therefore I'm smarter than you in many ways.

 

I think Libhater just misread your post. It happens

 

The other thing is that (IMO) a person can learn more by looking inward. Just repeating what others have told you isn't very Itellegent.

 

You can't really go by liberal/conservative. Because they aren't all the same. When I refer to liberals, I refer to the educated liberals because typically uneducated liberals do not participate in politics or care about politics. The problem is uneducated conservatives care a lot about politics.

So you have this battle between educated liberals against educated conservatives and uneducated conservatives. Educated conservatives these days are shying themselves away from the spotlight because the uneducated conservatives have taken over.

As you can see by the majority of posters on this forum, the weak and feeble minds of uneducated conservatives can easily be conned by the educated conservative media. It is easy to instill fear in to the uneducated since they don't know any better. Uneducated conservatives in this country are embarrassing us to the world. If you are dumb, you should not open your mouth about politics!

 

Yup, that's me, I modestly note...

 

So what your saying is that uneducated liberal just vote party line because then they may get a handout? Or is there another reason?

 

Why to idiots make generalizations about groups, rather than actually developing an argument about something important?

 

They vote democrat because typically democrats are more favorable towards the poor. So it's possible. Educated liberals vote democrat because they realize Republican's are con artist who use social issues, in which they never do anything about, to instill fear in to their constituents while raping them blind financially.

 

And the Democrats don't do the same thing? Tell me what Clinton and Obama have done to help the poor. And why are they still poor?

 

Obama extended unemployment insurance amongst Republican opposition. Obama is against cutting union benefits amongst Republican opposition. I'm not saying Democrats give the poor the life of Riley but they definitely support the poor degenerates much more than the conservatives.

 

educated liberals vote democrat because they earn their $$$ in one of the occupations protected by the democrats.

 

A more appropriate term would be liberated intellectuals, as they have liberated themselves from common sense and most logic.

 

See thats the thing. How does one define poor? At what point is a person poor? Everyone has their own definition of poor. To me poor is no car, paying the rent but have to get food from the foodbank. And I've been there. To others poor is no recreation and can't take a trip to Hawaii for vacation. Or have a vacation at all. Samething I was saying earlier. How does a person define intellegence?

 

Of course they're both subjective. But poor in the general sense is someone that can not afford the basic standard of living, aka food, shelter, clothing. Rich people call people who can't afford Hawaiian vacations poor because in a relative sense to them they are poor. But in the general sense poor is pretty well defined.

Intelligence is also subjective but intelligent people tend to use a scientific method approach to everything. If someone tells me something, I don't instantly believe it... you look it up and try to trace it back to the root cause.

Unintelligent people simply imply stuff because they "believe" it rather than can prove it. Like this Cessna guy trying to blame Barney Frank for the mortgage problem. That is unintelligent since it's been 3 years and there's been 100s of books written, in depth research in to the cause, and enough information to last a life time on it. Only an unintelligent person would attribute a cause to someone with out circumstantial evidence.
