These are the standard responses I read on other websites. I just find it strange it seems to be universal.
I'm not accusing anyone of anything, just making an observation.
I am not sure why that would be strange - if everyone sees the sun rise in the East this morning and commented that "the sun rose in the East" that wouldn't be indicative of anything more than those people observed the same thing.
When "liberals" observe supposed Christians telling homosexuals that they will burn in hell, the fact those "Christians" will be referred to as bigots is not a sign of some kind of vast left wing conspiracy.

Edited to add: I like to read what other people think and hear their opinions, but once the name calling starts....haters, morons, racists, etc., I lose respect for that person and any further interest in their opinion.
As is your right.

Liberal and Conservatives have very different ideas about things and we can't seem to find middle ground anymore. I think we need to find middle ground.
The root cause of this is the artificial categorization of people as "Liberal" or "Conservative" as if each of those camps exists as a unified pool of people to be dismissed as lunatics if you're in the other camp.
The reality is most of us are somewhere in between the extremes. If we can agree compromise is not a dirty word but a necessary evil then we might be able to develop some mutually agreeable plans to move forward.
I feel like you have labeled me as a liberal but I don't agree with many liberal positions but am dismissed by many here as a loony leftist!
