Are embarrassing,
I was banned fr not one but two message boards yesterday for asking who are these people that can buy: escalades, plasmas, and houses for $80K but now can't read and write, and furthermore couldn't afford the $200 for a lawyer to make sure they weren't getting hosed by the lender and/or builder? I mentioned same guy is now helping the PA casinos set record for slot handle, and poof I am banned by the modern day liberal, who treats the internet like a tyrranical jungle, logic says although websites are private property, that liberals would believe in freedom of speech and all, the conservatives would ban and censor- the truth is it is the direct opposite. not only do the liberals ban and censor, but often they are so fukkin stupid so as to put their political beliefs above their bottomline, not even I am that much an idiotic imbecile. I am a professional-would never in a million years let my idiotic religious, political whatever beliefs interfere in setting up a solid relationship with someone if it will be of mutual benefit to us. these people even know what the word liberal means?

Demographics of American liberals
While it is difficult to gather demographic information on ideological groups, some studies have been conducted. Liberalism remains most popular among those in academia and liberals commonly tend to be highly educated and relatively affluent. According to recent surveys, between a 19% and 26% of the American electorate identify as liberal, versus moderate or conservative. A 2004 study by the Pew Research Center identified 19% of Americans as liberal. According to the study, liberals were the most educated ideological demographic and were tied with the conservative sub-group, the "Enterprisers," for the most affluent group. Of those who identified as liberal, 49% were college graduates and 41% had household incomes exceeding $75,000, compared to 27% and 28% as the national average, respectively. Liberalism also remains the dominant political ideology in academia, with 72% of full-time faculty identifying as liberal in a 2004 study. The social sciences and humanities were most liberal, whereas business and engineering departments were the most conservative. The high educational attainment and prominence of liberal thought on American campuses can largely be attributed to a correlation between education and ideology. Generally, the more educated a person is, the more likely he or she is to hold liberal beliefs. In the 2000, 2004 and 2006 elections, the vast majority of liberals voted in favor of the Democrats, though liberals may also show support for the Greens. |

THe people that are held accountable for results vs those that aren't. and it pretty much runs along those lines in every catagory, so if you want to define anyone or anything just apply the above. which is why the idea of a gambler being liberal is ludicrous. example: you are liberal if you hold a lending company responsible because some idiot can afford to buy a house for $50K but can't afford $200 for a lawyer to review the documents. you are not a liberal if you believe all these idiot pollsters and political commentators who say the same exact **** every four years are useless human waste. They are not held accountable for their idiotic predictions. See how easy it is?

Just a hunch but you were probably banned for ranting and raving like a 5 year old b*tch about anything and everything, not for ideological differences.
