May 1, 201610 yr Looking at a statistical analysis between the two thread, your comparison is beyond weak. It continues to validate my point. Some would rather tear down than build up. Considering the number of conservative members posting is larger than that of liberal posters, the percentage has to be close..... And am I to guess that the liberal post in the conservative thread are to "build us up"....
May 1, 201610 yr Considering the number of conservative members posting is larger than that of liberal posters, the percentage has to be close..... And am I to guess that the liberal post in the conservative thread are to "build us up".... Those that are making negative posts in that thread are no better. However, how far down the Politics page do you have to go to find the last post there? Conservatives are choosing to post negatives here, rather than positives there. Again, that proves my point.
May 1, 201610 yr Author "Expansions of voting right, civil rights, education, public health, scientific knowledge, and protections from fear and want...These were the ideals of freedom that I grew up with. They are now all under threat, not by guns or bombs, but an under-the-radar redefinition of freedom and liberty to suit right-wing ideology." - George Lakoff, July 2006
May 1, 201610 yr Considering the number of conservative members posting is larger than that of liberal posters, the percentage has to be close..... And am I to guess that the liberal post in the conservative thread are to "build us up".... Let's take a look at the "stats". 184 posts on this thread. 66 by conservatives. So conservatives have made a little over 1/3 of the posts on this thread. And close to half are meant to be negative, or to insult the liberal point of view. In the "Conservatives believe..." thread, 69 total posts, 11 by libs. Roughly 15%, 3 of which were pointing out quotes that were inaccurately attributed to the wrong person. And few of which could possibly be construed as negative (and I'm including a couple posts I made in that number). Really, I don't mind conservatives posting in this thread if it's legitimate discussion, or if you want to call us out for inaccuracies in research or quotes. But the majority of the posts are just meant to inflame, and are not directed toward meaningful discussion.

But the majority of the posts are just meant to inflame, and are not directed toward meaningful discussion. So conservatives have more posts in the "liberals believe" thread than they do in the "conservatives believe" thread? And some of the quotes in the "conservatives believe" thread are misquotes and/or misattributions. And many, if not all, of the conservatives' posts in the "liberals believe" thread are demonstrably wrong and inaccurate. And if one takes both threads and assigns a "subject matter" to each conservative post, the most common subject matter for the question of "what conservatives believe" is that they "believe in using false statements to insult liberals" Sounds about right.

May 1, 201610 yr The defense rests.:clap: Why? Because some of you act superior to those that are conservative? Your post is indicative of what I stated. :thumb:
