Interesting contrast.

Really? What don't you understand about the meaning of "tend to be"?

Fat old white men tend to be Republicans.

This should be fun - I will see your fat Republican and raise you 1 (should count as 2) obese Democrat - that bastion of the bakery, your friend - Jerry Nadler.

Hardly as most Democrats know that soci@lism simply cannot work. It depends too heavily on Christ's second commandment 'love thy neighbour as thyself'. So few people truly love themselves and it most certainly cannot be legislated.

Well, it's not as intuitively obvious as my generalization about conservatives. Really, it's not very clear at all. Like, what 'dated utopian fantasies?' Might be saying liberals are so˘ialists, or else they're so˘ialists....

Yes. One is a qualified generalization that said conservatives are often nationalists, and the other was a comment on someone else's insulting swipe at liberals.

I mean, you don't think calling conservatives nationalists is like calling liberals 'ideological lemmings,' do you?
