That's a silly implication, as the few liberals here do not hesitate to make fun of conservatives as well. And no, it wasn't me that gave you -karma. It's a silly little toy.

But this whole "silent majority" thing is hilarious.

Could be though, it's a possibility--some people are greatly superficial. Just because "liberals here make fun of conservatives", it doesn't mean that it is scorned in the manner that liberalist views are. tdic I haven't seen much criminalizing of "being conservative", as opposed to such a massive criminilization of "being a 'lib'". People here use the term liberal as an insult, a pejorative, but not so in the case of conservative.

(P.S. I don't think your post was evidential to a perception that that post was arrogant in nature.)

I'd have to agree with you...the reason my karma isn't lower is because of a couple pluses that didn't leave names but said they agree with me on whatever. I think lashing out at bias on a forum is silly though.

I'm a little of both.  I often have semi-liberal goals, but want to implement them in more conservative ways.  I definitely am "old school" on almost all morality type issues.  I think that I might be sliding more toward "Moderate Conservative" though.

It is definitely a person's experience that molds their political stance.  I was grossly conservative until I attended a very diverse High School.  It was there that I realized why liberals feel the way they do, and I agree with much of it.

I voted in between, because I like to think about issues on an case-by-case basis.  Some of my opinions are liberal and some are conservative, depends on the issue.

BTW, education, at its very core, supports only liberalism (though not to extremes).
a history teacher at my old school almost got fired for announcing on the last day of school he was indeed a conservative republican.  even in largly conservative areas such as south orange county, the education system is still very liberal.
