5 Reasons Liberals Are Such Unpleasant People To Be Around

I suppose you like wholesome family entertainment,like old reruns of Highway to Heaven,The Walton's, or Here Comes Honey-boo-boo.And Lawrence Welk.

Lawrence Welk still reruns on PBS here,guess we have plenty of old folks to watch it.
I still have not watched Dumb Dynasty,watched Clash of the Ozarks instead.For laughs only.
I guess it will bring tourists to Hardy.

You must have missed out on the seed tick season.
I don't get chiggers or poison ivy,thank goodness.People here call the chiggers red bugs.
The small biting gnats called noseeums are the worst to me.They get in your eyes and ears.

Some people are impervious to poison ivy but how can anyone be chigger proof if there are chiggers around?

The place we actually were was Cherokee Village which is very close to Hardy. The old man got some notion to move there from someone he worked with at the time. I have no idea what possessed him to want to move there. We rented a house by one of those lakes there for like a week. I got the chigger bites and poison ivy from messing around in the woods by the lake and the sunburn from being in or around the water.
It sucked!

I always thought that I most likely did get bit by them, but just didn't have a reaction to them like some people.They are arachnids,and I don't have problems with recluse bites either.My ex and kids are not bothered by them.I've read that it depends on the amout of carbon dioxide you breathe out,supposedly that's what attracts them.My regular temp is 97 so maybe they are attracted to warmer people.I've been with people that got covered in ticks and I got only a few.
There is already a fine crop of speck back ticks this year,if I'm pulling off around a half a dozen a day,it's going to be a bad year.
The other day I passed some tourist bikers on the road,I've never seen faces as sunburned as those guys,I bet they had no idea what was happening.The wind must have felt cooling,but they were so red it was unreal looking.I felt sorry for them.Boy were they going to be surprised when they stopped to pee and saw themselves in a mirror.
I've been in that area,my ex had realatives at Evening Shade.Mammoth Spring is pretty cool to visit.

I don't entirel disagree with these 5 points, but I dislike either side's hardliners for very similar reasons. You could say similar things about conservatives. For example:

1. Conservatives are happier because they ignore the suffering of others more often. Jaime Napier and John Jost, in the journal Psychological Science, “Liberals may be less happy than conservatives because they are less ideologically prepared to rationalize (or explain away) the degree of inequality in society.” The academic parlance for this is “system justification.” The article is fairly dense, but has plenty of data to back it up.

2. Conservatives cling desparately to tradition, no matter what the cost. There are reasons why people get together and and protest the traditions that encourage discrimination in the town square, treat marriage as a right for all people, and get angry when those less fortunate are dehumanized. Because conservatives tend to think they're smarter than all those still living who have the collected knowledge of centuries of science simply by virtue of being conservative, they tend to cling to conventions no matter how much disorder and havoc they create around themselves in the process.

3. Conservatives see people who disagree as evil. I don't think I need to explain this one. Any group that widely believes anyone who isn't christian cannot possible be moral pretty much sums it up.

4. Conservatives are religious to the point that they can easily justify the mistreatment of non-christians. See #3.

5. Conservatism encourages arrogance. See all of the above.

I dislike spending time with anyone who has such a narrow view of any group of humanity, conservative or liberal.

My major complaint with Liberals is that they have no problem spending lots of money that isn't theirs to promote social programs whos only apparent goal is to keep an army of social workers and case managers employed rather than actually help those who need it.
