The style of a [[liberal]] often includes these characteristics:
+
The style of a [[liberal]] often includes these basic characteristics, which include techniques to mislead or simply advance self-serving goals:
    +
#a never-ending craving for attention (e.g., [[Hollywood]] types and politicians [[Bill Clinton]] and [[Chuck Schumer]])
 +
#a high word-to-substance ratio, as in using many words to say little of substance (e.g., [[Obama]] and the [[90/10 rule]] here)
 +
#interrupt others more frequently than conservatives do, reflecting how liberals rely on [[censorship]] to persuade (as [[Obama]] and [[Biden]] did in the debates)
 +
#obsession with the media, and even with the few [[conservatives]] in the media
 +
#feign offense as a way to silence criticism, or censor prayer and [[conservative]] viewpoints (e.g., [[ACLU]])
 +
#pretend to know more than one does; [[Isaac Newton]] admitted that he knew almost nothing, yet a liberal pretends to know much (e.g., [[Al Gore]])
 +
#use a [[double standard]]: racial remarks by liberals (e.g., [[Joe Biden]] or [[Hillary Clinton]]) are just fine, but extreme abuse greets any conservative for that
 +
#insist that theories a liberal likes (e.g., [[evolution]], man-made [[global warming]]) are somehow ''objective'' and indisputable, while what a liberal dislikes (e.g., [[conservatism]]) is ''subjective''
 +
#unjustified praise of [[atheists]] and other [[liberals]] as "geniuses", despite little achievement
 +
 +
Liberal style also includes these additional characteristics:
 +
 +
#support of greater bureaucratic control rather than more competition to address problems
 +
#demands answers to questions, but after receiving answers then the liberal himself tries to avoid answering similar questions<ref>See, e.g., the stunt pulled by [[Clarence Darrow]] in the [[Scopes Trial]].</ref>
 +
#refuses to admit the truth in debate, even if a conservative compromises in a conciliatory manner
 +
#like to use the phrase "reflects poorly on the site" when talking about the liberal articles on Conservapedia <ref>do a search on [[Special:Search|"reflects poorly"]]</ref>
 +
#uses the term "controversial" to describe what he opposes (e.g., [[classroom prayer]]), but not to describe what he supports (e.g., [[theory of evolution]])
 +
#a lack of originality and a predominance of copying and imitating
 +
#virtually never criticize hateful comments or behavior by a fellow [[liberal]]
 +
#like to use the phrase "Silence Speaks Volumes" [http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/28/us/28vigil.html?n=Top/Reference/Times%20Topics/People/U/Urbina,%20Ian] [http://www.huffingtonpost.com/rep-lois-capps/when-silence-speaks-volum_b_98601.html] [http://www.huffingtonpost.com/arianna-huffington/sen-mitch-mcconnell-his_b_38699.html]
 +
#call something disliked a "conspiracy theory," but don't use that term against wacky [[liberal]] theories like [[global warming]]
 +
#respond with "sigh" when presented with repeated examples of harm caused by [[liberal]] culture, yet persist in denying the harm despite overwhelming evidence
 +
#thinking in terms of what someone likes or doesn't like, or has or doesn't have, or belongs or doesn't belong
 
#declaring that one is insulted as a response to an argument<ref>"One of [[Hillary Rodham Clinton]]'s most prominent black supporters [Bob Johnson] said Sunday ''he'' was insulted by the characterization by rival [[Barack Obama]]'s presidential campaign of ''her'' remarks about the civil rights movement."  [http://www.newsmax.com/insidecover/johnson_obama_bet/2008/01/13/64032.html]</ref>
