I've always wondered why when debating liberals they immediately explode into expletives. Always on the edge of losing it without the capacity to listen to differing viewpoints. This link provides some insight.

Yes, self-delusion is a wonderful thing, ain't it! Of course I met a lot of happy "liberals" so....

Why, you *^%#%&^in &%#!@$@#&^er!!! hahahaha. I'd use the real words but people seem to be SO fuckin' (oops) hypersensitive. CARLIN said it well in his "seven words they won't let me say on TV". Get over it...we cuss (and I'm Not a Liberal--I'm an unapologetic radical Socialist) because we're angry that Right wingers are so ignorant, yet smrt enough to fool the Sheeple into letting them stay in power. Fools.
