[KittenKoder]

Conservatives save money, Liberals keep things equal ... they are both important. Without one, we are fucked, as we see today.

I'm curious how Thomas Jefferson and James Madison were liberals when they were among the strongest supporters of the conservative, according to you, principle of nullification?

So basically, you just went through history, picked out people you thought were impressive, and shouted, "They're all just like me!"

And I'm supposed to be impressed because . . . why?

And what exactly have the conservatives done for us?

First off, start with a common definition of "conservative" that everyone can agree upon for the purposes of this thread. 'Cuz depending upon what definition is being used, at least 3 or 4 people on your list are exactly that. It's only when you shift definitions in each instance to fit the historical figure can your list be considered all liberal.

So start with a definition. And then we'll discuss.

Never mind conservative. Get him to start with a definition of "liberal". Or even something modern leftists have in common with any of the people on that list, aside from being bipedal.

He couldn't do that either. He gave us JFK's platitudes about what a liberal is. Nice speech, but isn't anywhere near a working definition.

Jesus was a Liberal
Webster's dictionary defines a Liberal as one who is open minded, not
strict in the observance of orthodox, traditional or established forms or
ways. Jesus was a pluralist Liberal who taught that one need not
conform to strict and orthodox views of God, religion, and life. He
rejected greed, violence, the glorification of power, the amassing of
wealth without social balance, and the personal judging of others, their
lifestyles and beliefs.

Over and over again, He taught us to believe in and live a spiritual and
ethical life based in our essential, inherent goodness. What Jesus
promoted was succinct set of spiritual principals and a way of life
based upon the of love, compassion, tolerance, and a strong belief in
the importance in giving and of generosity to those in need.

Okay, so the problem is less that Jesus doesn't fit the dictionary definition of "liberal" than that YOU shitheads don't.

So why is it, again, that you're so triumphant about listing a group of people who have nothing in common with you?

 

[Cecilie1200]

Cons would condemn Jesus as a Liberal if he returned today.

Leftists would be busy denying Him the right to speak in public places on the grounds of separation of church and state.

 

[Cecilie1200]

Who Would Jesus Shoot?

No one. He'd just smite them.

By your own definition you make yourself wrong, I already gave you an example of how he behaved when the strict rules of conduct where no longer being obeyed.

Sorry it blew up your lil thread, but life sucks that way.

how so?

Jesus spoke constantly about taking care of the poor and not judging others .....

interestingly enough, he said not one word about homosexuality.

Jesus was a liberal. Actually, politically, Jesus was a radical, fighting the power of the San Hedrin which he feld dishonored true Judaism.
