Sheep on the right, sheep on the left

It's just gotten on my nerves a lot lately how people will hardly ever thumbs down a video of someone they're subscribed to. It's like they say "this person made a good point once so all their points must be good". It's like blind patriotism only instead of mindless allegiance to a country it's to a person. I can't stand when people are obsessed with celebrities and it's just as bad if not worse to be obsessed with an internet celebrity as it is to be obsessed with some actor or actress in Hollywood. It's also pretty annoying how people are soooo far to the left online and soooo far to the right politically in real life in my situation. On the one hand I have people saying "censor everyone who disagrees with liberal ideas!" and on the other hand I have "everyone who doesn't agree with the bible is going to Hell!" In reality neither should have an effect on politics but sadly both do for maximum restriction and lack of freedom. I consider myself moderately on the left so it's no surprise that I think that people on the right are loony for the most part how they protect the rich and deny people's rights based on their religious preference but I find the FAR left to be pretty annoying at times.

A friend of mine recently posted a picture on facebook about the "double think" of liberals. Frankly I think it needs to be said. Everyone knows that conservatives are insane but the "liberals" aren't exactly a shining beacon of perfection either.

To make it a bit simpler I highlighted the things I agree with most in green but I'll go over each one.
1. I don't believe that race is a social construct. When I refer to race I'm talking about the physical features of people who are native to specific regions of the world. Obviously there are some people with different bone structures and skin tones than others. I don't however believe that it's right to say that one race is more good or evil than another. Good and evil are clearly subjective and not solid facts. Can someone have the opinion that one race is "better" than another? Sure, but it would only be ignorant stereotyping.

2. I do firmly believe in evolution and it's clear that some people have greater skills in certain areas than others. This does not mean however that people should be treated poorly for their lack of skill.

3. I don't believe that police should be the only ones with guns. I believe that common people should be trained in safety courses for arms use. Most police officers I have known of are sadistic control freaks.

4. I don't believe that school standards should be lowered. Minorities are likely just as smart but lack the proper environment to thrive more because of economic factors than for racial ones.

5. Stereotyping may have hints of truth at times but that's more coincidence than anything if you ask me. It leads to false assumptions a lot of the time and that hurts the person doing the stereotyping as well. I've never found the "gingers have no souls" thing to be funny.

6. I think people should be allowed to do what they want with their own bodies. If they want to do crack, let them do crack. If they want to be fat, let them be fat.

7. I don't know if dictatorship is bad or not. It'd really depend on the person and I don't know that much about Che.

8. While civil discourse is good most of the time sometimes violence is the only way. I don't know that much about teapartiers other than the mud flinging I've heard from their opponents so I'm not sure what the real story is.

9. I'm sure SOME conservatives use ad hominems but so do SOME liberals. Not sure if they're nazi fascists or not but "nazi" seems to be thrown around a lot as a blanket term for someone unpleasant.

10. I don't think that capitalism is the best by a long shot, I'm more inclined to say that socialism is better. I'm not up with the latest technology nor interested in impressing people with my purchases.

11. Pretty sure Obama didn't get congressional support for the war in Libya.

12. Clearly they're both biased but in different directions.

13. Oppression of anyone is wrong. I don't believe the Islamist are "freedom fighters".

14. I think at this point people have plenty of reason to hate Obama without it being based in race. Any republican, black or white, I'm likely going to consider stupid.

15. Stick it to the man? I'm not even sure what that means. Government has too much power as it is.

16. I don't believe in respecting all cultures. Some are just plain stupid, like Christianity. That doesn't mean I'll disrespect the Christians themselves as people, but I won't play along with their game of magic man in the sky.

17. All racial slurs should be avoided imo as they're offensive and encourage an "us" vs "them" mentality.

18. I see nothing wrong with a flat tax, it seems fair I guess.

19. I'm more in favor of reforming and rehabilitating criminals than just flat out killing them. I'm not really fond of abortion but I suppose I could find it tolerable before a certain time limit. Third trimester abortions are absurd if there's no medical reason. 

20. Solar power is the way to go. Carbon taxes are a scam from what I can tell.

21. Eh this one is kind of iffy. Thinking that gays should be stoned to death etc is pretty terroristic and their religion has tons of equally ridiculous and harsh punishments. I don't know that I'd call it "terrorism" but I'd definitely call it violence and intolerance.

22. Hate speech laws are idiotic. The idea of freedom of speech is to protect unpopular opinions.

23. It's not equal to hire someone based on their race alone.
