Why Can't Liberals and Conservatives Shut Their Mouths?

I am so sick and tired of different groups of people claiming that they have higher moral ground than others do based on politics. You're not cool. You're not smarter than everyone else. You look like a moron.

"Conservatism is a mental illness, but can it be treated?"
"Do you repeatedly use the Word D_ _ chebag and think of your self as an intelligent person? (and then have answer choices as: "No, I think I have a higher intellect then most liberals." and "I can't help it, Im liberal".

Do not sit here and try to tell me one side is worse than the other, because these two examples are just from today. I'm sick and tired of hearing polls like "Oh my god, Racism is ALL OBAMA'S FAULT. Obama is trying to KEEP RACISM AROUND for his political agenda." Or "Aren't Conservatives Just Pussies Who Don't Realize that the WORLD DOESN'T REVOLVE AROUND THEM Anymore?" Conservatives suck. Liberals suck. Conservatives are rad. Liberals are rad.

Are you people stupid? Do you really think that a person's political affiliation really makes them a good or a bad person? Do you really think that just because a person is Liberal or Conservative that their IQ must be lower than your party's choice because you're so much damn experienced and refined than everyone else is? Do you really think that your political party has all of the answers? Because I'll tell you what:

Obama has done a shitty job at his job.
Bush did a shitty job at his job.

I do not CARE who did WORSE of a job. The fact is, both Presidents (have) failed to satisfy the general, overall public. So Conservatives, laugh all you want at "Obama's incompetence and his "ghetto mentality", and Liberals, continue to point out how Bush was a moron who didn't know his ass from his mouth. Neither one of your party's leaders has done an overall satisfactory job.

I don't care if a person is a Conservative or a Liberal. If I think a person has something respectable to say, I will listen to them. If I think this person is talented in some form of the arts, I'm going to appreciate them and their talents they have. I look at a person based on their morals and integrity and despite what many of you...INDIVIDUALS (and ooo, I wish I could put another word here) believe, a person's moral integrity is not defined by who they vote for. I don't care if you're a Liberal or a Conservative. I look for things I have in common with people. I look at how a person treats another human being. That has nothing to do with their political affiliations.

Sure, I may get along better with those whom I agree with politically, but I have plenty of friends who do not share the same priorities and political ideals as I do. And I am okay with this. Trust me, I dislike a LOT of people who share similar ideologies as I do. Does this make me a hypocrite? NO. It does not. Why? Because I pay attention to how a person carries themselves, whether or not a person strives to become a better human being, a better addition to society. I do not think your different opinion is wrong--unless your opinion is backed up by faulty logic (and POLITICS is FULL OF IT. It's called rhetoric and logical fallacies). Or if your opinion is backed up by facts that have been disproved, I will not take your opinion into consideration until you have an educated opinion.

An educated opinion does not necessarily mean that it has to reflect my own opinion. An educated opinion means that you've lived, you've experienced, and you've actually done research. You've actually taken the time to look at any and all modes of bias to get the full story and idea. An educated opinion means that someone isn't closed minded. And most of you people on this website. Are. Closed-Minded.

Your opinion cannot be "right". It is an opinion. You may have facts that support your opinion, but that still does not mean your opinion is a fact (ergo, right). You have facts that support your opinion. Think of it as an hypothesis. You can have facts to back it up, but it is your personal opinion that makes you incapable of being right or wrong.

Political affiliations have become a medium for stereotyping. And stereotyping, children, is in fact, not morally right. It wrongly puts an entire group or populace into a very strict set of parameters that does not have to define them. But you people take it upon yourselves to say that this is true. "Oh, you're a Liberal. You're brainwashed anyway, so you have no idea what you're talking about." Are you kidding? "Oh, you're a Conservative. You've grown up with an easy and privileged life and don't understand what it really means to work for your money because you're spoiled and bigoted." Are you kidding? Statements like these do not help anyone.

Please, Sodahead users. Get out of my face. Liberals and Conservatives are all people too. Suck it up. Shake hands. Disagree. But do not question the moral integrity, the intellectual ability, or the "any other factor that has nothing to do with political ideals only characteristic" of your opposing party member. You don't look right. You don't look cool. You look like an asshat. You look condescending, and you look disagreeable.


EDIT: Because some of you believe me to be un-American and wishing to repress the rights of the American people, let me clarify. My "Why Can't Liberals and Conservatives Shut Their Mouths" question was not meant to be translated as: "Can I Make the People Silence Themselves" I have read the Constitution and the Amendments and I occasionally look them over to re-familiarize myself with it. My point in asking this was not to suggest that I wish to take away anyone's Freedom of Speech. My point was to get people to realize the idiotic things they say when they base their opinions about someone solely upon the fact that they belong to this or that political party. If people want to talk with their foot in their mouths and look ignorant by saying "Oh, you're a Liberal, you're a dunce and a twat", then do it. My point in writing this was to POINT OUT this problem, that people are so ignorant in their thought processes that they make statements such as these. Who does this? Truly.
