wow

this particular article was eye opening to me. first- as a woman, and second as a lefty. wow. the article is about dating- and this person interviewed conservative women only- and while i think dating is pretty much dating (and i am mega glad i have been out of circulation for so long but i never, ever had the issues these women speak of) the misconceptions towards the left is staggering. probably it’s true to some degree on the left side too- but i was astounded. people actually believe the right wing propaganda and the talking heads. why on earth this should surprise me so is also beyond me. i just don’t know what to say. take a peek if you want- here’s a preview:

“Have you dated liberals before? If so, any difference you can tell between liberal and conservative guys?

Absolutely. It’s kind of like night and day. I have always had a policy of not dating liberals, but once, after a bad break-up, I dated a couple of liberal guys…

First of all, they don’t have the same values and I find that to be a fundamental problem. I know a lot of people are willing to accept that, but I’m not. Their whole world view is different from someone who has conservative values and traditional values as a way of life.

Being focused on yourself, and your rights, and materialism, and no ultimate sense of morality — because I guess when you believe in a more secular way of life, a more liberal viewpoint, it’s all about what you can do for yourself and how you can be happy…and you don’t have any belief in absolute truth or religious principles to guide how you live. You get guys who are selfish and into themselves and don’t care so much about humanity, other people, or me — that just leads to a lot of problems. I also have a problem with guys who are into things like getting completely trashed and doing drugs…”

yeah. divided as we are on gender, race, and obviously ideology- is it any wonder this country is falling?
