Chamblee54

There is a twitter fight going on. On one side is #LiberalismIn4Words, with the predictable alternative #ConservatismIn4Words. Momma’s basement  is buzzing with activity.
PG has always maintained that Liberal and Conservative are meaningless words, designed to start pointless arguments. @MacGhil The Ruling Class’ divide & conquer strategy: We attack each other, & they amass power & wealth. #ConservatismIn4words #LiberalismIn4Words.
There seem to be a lot of notions about the “other side”, which may or may not be true. The possibility exists that the tweets say more about the sender than they do their opponent. ‏@loghaD #LiberalismIn4Words Yet another meaningless label. #ConservatismIn4Words Yeah, that one too.
‏@SooperMexican ***Analytical Evidence Conservatives won hashtag battles #Liberalismin4words and #conservatismin4words: Stupid Liberals Call For Political Hashtag War, Conservatives Destroy Them. Mr. Mexican throws a bunch of statistics out, and makes the claim that conservatives won this battle. There is a difference between prove and indicate.
In preparing this report, PG copied lists of “top tweets” for both hashtags. He sorted the tweets into four groups. This is just one person’s view. The only thing that it proves is that PG has too much free time. We already knew that.
The first category is abortion. Evidently, conservatives think liberals get off on murdering babies. Liberals are snickering about how politicians are taking advantage of well meaning conservatives. The truth is that abortion is a free lunch issue. You denounce it to your hearts content, and no one pays atttention to your ethical shortcomings.
@SueLantto: every person has value #truth #LiberalismIn4Words
‏@JackTomczak Except a baby girl @kentkaiser Or a Down’s baby.
‏@ballergirl34 #LiberalismIn4Words We care about children.

@CnservativePunk Kill babies. Free criminals. #Liberalismin4words
‏@Paul_Conrad Pro-life until it’s born #conservatismin4words
‏@RaisingOneBrow #ConservatismIn4Words Your body, our business.
The second category is things that make you say huh. A.K.A. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.
Some arguments bend logic into funny shapes. Both sides play this game.

‏@jorticulture #LiberalismIn4Words concede positions then bargain, ahahaha yep america
The third category is things that apply to both liberals and conservatives. In these tweets, replace the hastag with a blank space. It is tough to tell who is talking about who. This considers the actions of these partisans, and not just the rheroric.
