Which liberal stereotype(s) are/were you?

[TeddyKGB]

I am generally lazy, do not like work, and once enrolled in unemployment insurance. I have been known to whine occasionally. I am godless. I hate George W. Bush.

I have never, however, eaten granola, worn Birkenstocks, or hugged a tree.

ON EDITS: I do not recycle. I have never drank a latte. I admire European-style socialism. I do not smoke pot - it just made me sleepy. I eat meat.

[wryter2000]

1. I don't shave my legs

Oh, the horror.

[CornField]

11. It's winter! We need that extra hair right now for warmth.

Dammit.

LOL!

[RubyDuby in GA]

14. hahaha

I had that very same thought this morning as I retired my razor!

:)

[motely36]

12. That's ok

I HAVE shaved my legs a couple times, so it probably evens out!

[JaneDoughnut]

2. Godless socialist here

I'm a Bush-hating, agnostic, democratic socialist, animal-loving, poetry-writing hippie. And proud of it.

[commander bunnypants]

3. social;ist

I believe in a socialist staet, big guvment, helping out the poor , down trodden and the guvment is responsible for the people

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

7. I love you.

[Danocrat]

4. Pinko fag here/nt

[commander bunnypants]

6. git outa mah country

:)

[fertilizeonarbusto]

16. More Pinko Faggotry

I hate * and the whole crew, majored in Liberal Arts, speak foreign languages, avoid fast food, have friends of every hue, am basically anti-religious, hug trees and tend to like Socialism, at least in some parts of the economy. I think that's about it.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

5. Um....

um....I don't think I fit any of them. I fit a lot of conservative demographics, actually. Most people assume I am until I tell them otherwise.

I have eaten granola, does that count? LOL!

I *think* I might have hugged a tree or two as a kid, but more in a spontaneous, "WOW I love this beautiful tree!" kid kind of way.

Ummmm........wow. Hm.

I guess that's it, unless I think of something else. Being liberal for me is more in my beliefs and my actions as a human than in how I look or my lifestyle, per se.

OH! I recycle! Does that count? Oh and I hate bush with all the fiery passion of a thousand hells. But that doesn't necessarily make me liberal--just smart.

I just saw another one...does highly educated make me liberal? And intellectual? Then yes and yes. But my non-highly educated, non-highly intellectual husband is a liberal, too. ?????

[crispini]

8. Latte-lovin' chardonnay-drinkin' overly educated intellectual here.

And proud of it!

[msgadget]

9. I'm open-minded ,

generally mind my own business, don't impose my values on others, love progress and am optimistic always.

I love this country! :bounce:

Edited for bad grammar...which still may be the case but we liberals just don't care.

[Chef]

10. The Worst

I can top all of ya. I believe in democracy!

[RubyDuby in GA]

13. I am

actually concerned about poor/more misfortunate people than myself. I too can whine like there's no tomorrow. I will throw things at fundies that ring my doorbell and I too hate George W. Bush. Basically, I hate any of those Bush bastards. Also, I'd rather have my "hard earned tax dollars" go to the Welfare Queens than that shithole known as Iraq (not because of the people there, but because of the lies and horrible planning here).

I am not a Communist, nor am I pink as some rather enlightened republicans called me the other day..

[La Lioness Priyanka]

15. bleeding hearted elitist

also atheist

[tk2kewl]

17. Beer-drinkin', Pickup truck Drivin', bass-fishin', pinko here

[crispini]

29. That's not a liberal stereotype!

Is it? :D

[chicagojoe]

37. Nope. Some of us, however, like beer, pickups, and fishing.

The rednecks are just being copy-cats !!!

[Jackpine Radical]

31. Well, I don't drink much beer anymore, but

Pickup-check.
Bass-fishin'-check. (Not to mention bluegills, musky, etc.)
Also--
Gun-owning
hunting
rural
farm tractor-drivin'
chainsaw operatin' (Death to Box Elders!!)
Viet vet
redneck.

Heyyy, maybe I'm in the wrong party.

Except maybe for a few mitigating factors.
There is the psych PhD, for example.
And the war protest habit since 1968 and continuing right up through last week.
Mild civil rights activism beginning in '64 or so.
And I HAVE drunk a few lattes, although I don't make a habit of it.
And of course my socialist philosophy.

[madison2000]

18. I think the gov't should provide access to health care

for everyone, so that makes me a commie, like Hillary Clinton.

I live in a city where there are a lot of gay people and I don't persecute them.

[jdots]

19. ranting nut case know it all bore

damn chicks dig me (yeah sure)

[arcane1]

20. godless, stoned slacker, perhaps?

ah yes, and I hate Bush

[IowaGuy]

21. Uh....

like NASCAR, white middle aged guy that is financially secure, works everyday, pays taxes, soccer coach, married to my wife for 18 years - mows the lawn for the fun of it....uh....I do know how to read!
;) Thats something I got in common with the stereotype...

[chicagojoe]

22. My stats..

Socially liberal.
Fiscally conservative (this doesn't mean "no funding for social programs". It means "stop wasting money" ).
Non-vegetarian; no guilt over it, either.
Spiritual; no particular cult association, i.e. Christian, Jew, Pagan,Muslim, etc.
Bush hater; Radical Right hater.
Can't stand the division in Our Nation, but will fight for the rights of all.

[fudge stripe cookays]

23. Hmmm....

Edumacated, multi-lingual (at least enough to get me in trouble), Honda-driving, latte drinking, health-food eating, pro-choice, agnostic, nature lover.

I have hugged trees (as a youngster), love to garden, have my own compost pile, and drink mostly bottled water (because our tap water is disgusting). My Birkenstocks are generic ripoffs, but they still brand me upon viewing as liberal.

I have friends of all ilks...gay, straight, black, Latino, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Pagan, Christian, atheist, and agnostic like me.

We also recycle (no one else in our neighborhood ever puts their receptacle out...), have Green Mountain energy, and Working Assets for phone (and cell phone).

I'm a stereotype! Woo hoo!
FSC

[McKenzie]

24. whisky loving, greed hating Scottish dem...

and glad that I live in a country with an open parliamentary system, namely good old Scotland.

I don't want to put myself in a box. Suffice to say I find our fixation with material wealth pathetic. I mean, like, how much is enough and WTF are you going to do with all that "stuff"?

Rant over...this place is damned addictive

[demnan]

25. I subscribe to the New Yorker

and I listen to Prarie Home Companion on public radio.

[Worst Username Ever]

26. Latte drinking classist

yes, I have worn birks, but not anymore. I believe in evolution, and don't understand how there could be anything else. Not godless, but agnostic. I hate george W bush and everything he stands for. I would rather talk things over and compromise than have a total war and kill people.

I have been known to eat tofu. I care about animals and the environment. I believe people have the right to choose. I have gay friends. I voted for Clinton. I think hybrid cars rock, hydrogen cars are pointless. I am middle class. I believe a government of the people is more responsible and effective that total privitization. Corporate wellfare makes me vomit. Human welfare, although needing a little work, is necessary. Same with Unions.

[bettyellen]

27. i've worn birkenstocks, but my friend freaked out i have my nails done!

It really bugged her...... but my nails are a mess, i suck at doing them myself and i work(ed) in fashion. i don't go all out and buy a lot of clothes..... I get bored with that. I wear the same thing all winter and it drove my boss crazy, but w/ nasty ragged nails, i'd get called a slob! I'm supposed to look a little sophisticated or at least, groomed!
Ful disclosure, I recently started ironing my hair and feel guilty (am i betraying my irish roots?) but it looks really hot and I'm not going to stop now that I know how easy it is. Shit, I can finally brush my hair.

[KarenS]

28. Ha!! I am a middle-aged Hippie,,,

War Protester, I wear Birkenstocks, I MAKE our own granola and I am of course a Vegetarian :hi: also I am an irresponsible Conspiracy Theorist, believe in a Woman's Right to choose AND if I ever walked into a church the roof would crash down!! Not to mention I use the internets all the time. Plus my Husband has a long ponytail & plays the guitar,,,,

In other words, think of Ann Coulter ~ then do a 180 !!!!

on edit: We not only SAW F911 ~ we bought a copy of it!!

[Menshevik]

30. I own a ton of stuff leftover from the USSR

therefore, I must be a communist

[ET Awful]

32. I'm a long-haired pinko hippie freak with socialist leanings.

I'm also an entertainment girlie-man (I'm straight, but cry at tearjerker movies).

However, I'm an elitist, I'm not overly educated (only time I've ever been on a college campus was to take my GED, or go to a concert). I served my country in the Army for several years. Oh, and I think Bushh is a pompous pus-bag hell bent on destroying America :).

[Modem Butterfly]

33. Latte-drinking, Volvo-driving, atheist here

I have a number of pairs of Birkenstocks, I've lived with someone for ten years whom I'm not married to, and I went to a Liberal Arts school, where I majored in Sociology. And get this- I also think that people should earn a living wage and have their own thoughts and opinions.

[Union Thug]

34. Socialist, union advocate...

reverse classist(eat the rich!), legalize pot advocate, bleeding heart, anti-death penalty, was once involved in 'alternative spirituality (asatru)' before becoming an evil atheist, environmentalist.

[devilgrrl]

35. What a stupid fucking thread this is.

:nuke:

[c0lin]

36. I..

consider myself better than the majority of people who voted for Bush (i.e., Elitist)

I enjoy talking about politics and philosophy

I read a lot of books

I'm majoring in PoliSci and *gasp* JOURNALISM

I think that Bush is a complete waste of oxygen.

I also admire Euro socialism to an extent.

I compare the war in Iraq to Vietnam in conversations.

I'm borderline agnostic. *shrug*

I'm for gay marriage

I'm "pro-choice," but don't refer to it in that way.

I hate bible-toting fundamentalist wackjobs, and like to get in arguments with the guy who is standing in front of Planned Parenthood.

I could go on...

[Ellen Forradalom]

38. Somewhat yuppie-style liberal

Not enough money to truly qualify, though :-)

I've received well-earned unemployment.
I've gone to DC to protest both Gulf Wars and the stolen election of 2000.
I've made granola, wear Birkenstocks, recycle when doable, am addicted to lattes, and enjoy fine wine and microbrewery beers.
I speak French and Hungarian. I admire European-style socialism greatly and visited Eastern Europe while it was still communist--and I didn't hate it!
I hate all war.
And, it goes without saying, I hate GWB.

[mark414]

39. lazy, pot-smoking, godless, sexual deviant

and i'm sure there's plenty more that i can't think of right now

oh yeah, and definitely an intellectual elitist, which i'm trying to correct cause i don't like being a smug asshole

[Aristus]

40. I'm an elitist intellectual. I like fine dining, good wine, and

superb literature.

OTOH, I am a Gulf War vet, a Christian, and I...umm...votedforbushsrtwice! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!

So I don't exactly fit into a stereotype. I hope I've eradicated the shame of voting for Poppy by voting a straight Dem ticket every two years since 1996. I haven't voted for a single Repuke in all that time. Not at the local, state and certainly not at the national level.
