Are there Liberal traits that you DON'T like?

93. I would tend to agree with this...

Ive often thought, (to use Jungian Archetypes as reference points) that we Liberals have quite a bit of Sorcer(er/ess) and Lover energies in our psyches and outlooks, and sometimes not enough of the Ruler or Warrior. I understand its in our nature to prefer political peace to conflict, but sometimes, our adversaries just REQUIRE a judiciously-administered Skull-Cracking. If we are afraid to do it becasue it "makes us like them", that ends up working in their favor. Peace is a valuable Prize, but acquiring it is sometimes not for the Timid.

(On Edit) The thing that will make us different form "them" is that Judicious part...they do it as a first and only response, we seem to perfer a more sophistocated approach to our attacks...they box, we like Judo. When we miscalculate, they score a hit and then laugh at us, but when THEY miss and fall on their ass, the whole country see it and we win Elections. Our way is better, but it takes more thought, patience, and practice to get right.

And yeah, I think some of us are too easily offended. It's part and parcel to having a good pool of perosnalities, minds, and outlooks (in other words, a nicley-Nuanced political Tent that we all share), and I know it can't be totally avoided, but I know that it's easier in most cases to let slide the little things that bother me about my fellow Democrats here for the sake of Greater Goals, than it is to raise hell over something that probably only (I'M) bothered by.
