Debate Myths About Liberals, Conservatives, And Everyone Else

People who lean left say a lot of nasty things about the right. Similarly, people who lean right say some mean things about the left.
Who's right? Who's wrong? Well, when it comes to stereotypes, everyone is wrong. I decided to start a thread. Everyone has been put into a stereotype at one point in their lives. And there are all those things thirteen-year-olds post on their myspace page saying "I'm blond, so therefore I must be dumb" in order to make people aware of these stereotypes. Well, I thought we'd start our own, in the same style. For example, "I'm conservative, so therefore I must watch Fox News." Or, "I'm a liberal, so therefore I must be a Communist." In fact, I'm going to start off with those two. If you want to add more "I'm conservative, so..." or "I'm a liberal, so..." comments, by all means do so! There are several stereotypes, so just keep adding what you think is appropriate. Ergo, Sum... I'm conservative, therefore I must watch Fox News. I'm a liberal, therefore I must be a Communist. I'm a conservative, therefore I must be rich. I'm a liberal therefore I must be pro-choice. I'm Dutch, therefore I must use/have weed. I'm a Republican, therefore I must believe in God. I'm a bisexual, therefore I'm either confused, or faking it to be popular. I'm a Wiccan/other Pagan, therefore I worship the devil. I'm a male dancer, therefore I must be gay. I'm a Muslim, therefore I must be anti-Semitic. I'm a Jew, therefore I must support Israel. I'm a Muslim, therefore I must be a terrorist.
