good morning rsr,
I am a Liberal... though conservative on some issues, my mom and dad who served 22 years in the USAF are Liberals, my sister is a Liberal, my grandparents on my Father's side were Liberals, my church going neighbors are Liberal, and a friend of mine serving in Iraq right now is a LIBERAL.....
so when people like Pale, continually say that Liberals SUCK in their Avatars, or in their posts, they are saying personally, that I SUCK and my family SUCKS and that my neighbors SUCK etc....
It is a blatent, general insult and a meant to be demeaning statement about his fellow Americans....
Now you can like this and think it's grand, but to me, an avatar that flashes LIBERALS SUCK, is vulgar, insulting, and unamerican. And maybe I am being a little sensitive, I'll grant all of you that....and maybe I grew up differently and was taught differently by my "Liberal" parents , (that suck as people... according to Pale), that there is no place for personal insults in a good argument against or for a cause.
All of my relatives on my husband's side are Conservatives, Church going, Home schooling children, conservatives. I have been married 17 years and they never, ever would insult me just because I am a Democrat and I would Never, Ever even think of insulting them, because they are Republicans...they are good, loving people....and they know that I am too, and that my family is too.
So, like I said, it could be that I am being a little sensitive here, maybe because I am a female, maybe cuz I wouldn't hurt a fly without feeling some sort of remorse.... I really am a wimp, I admit it....feel sorry for everyone that's in bad shape kind of person....a liberal!
lol
