I have read so many posts and blogs from the fanatical left wing people, and I have found the same rhetoric in almost all of them. So let's take this time to dismiss some of the more "popular" conspiracies, rhetoric, and lies of the lefties. If you read a post with the following comments, then you know it's pointless to argue because they will believe nothing else.

Bush "stole" the election, or he was "appointed" by the Supreme Court.

This has to be one of the most popular here on JU. Our two resident radicals love to bring this one up. As with most liberal claims, both are just false. Bush won the 2000 election fairly and legally. Even after his re-election the left still can't get over this fact. In a recount in 2000 done by the major newspapers and media here in Florida, Bush was shown to have gotten the majority of votes even if a full recount was done. Just get over it, Bush won both times.

The U.S. is now a "police state".

This is another popular one, and happens to be one of the most ridiculous. I would bet every liberal who says this has no idea what a real "police state" is like. Let's remember something. You are free to travel this country. You are free to criticize the government. You are free to post the nonsense of how much you hate on this board. If there was a "police state", none of this would be happening. I would like to tell the liberals to go visit a real "police state", that is if you can get access. If they can get there I would also encourage them to publically denounce the government and see how they are treated. Go live there for a couple of months, and then tell me if that reminds you of the U.S.

Fox News or the liberal line "Faux News".

This is the tell tale sign of arguing with a liberal. There isn't much more rage you get out of a leftie when you tell them something about Fox News. Liberals ignore the polls, public opinion, and overall proof of a liberal lean in todays media, but will argue for hours how Fox News is the "puppet of the administration". Now when you ask for proof of Fox working for the Bush administration they bring up the same points everytime. First they start with Bill O'Reilly. I watch O'Reilly and he is far from working for Bush. He is one of people in the media who is taking Bush to task on things like immigration, and not in a nice way. The next they mention Sean Hannity. Yes Hannity is part of the right, but he's also a commentator, not a news reporter. There is a difference, but that doesn't matter. Commenting and analyzing the news is not the same as reporting it.

These are the top 3 liberal lines that you will find here. Please feel free to add your own.

I cannot agree with you more. Do you consider yourself an independent or a libertarian, or both? Just curious, really.
