Liberals deconstructed

[Diuretic]

Jester, you're fucked mate. A conservative stands for nothing but resistance to change. They're useful in holding back some of the more reckless progressives but generally speaking they produce no new ideas or social movements. Accept your role as one of the spoilers with good grace, there is an evolutionary reason for conservatism but progress ain't it.

Truth

"What is conservatism? Is it not adherence to the old and tried, against the new and untried?"

Abraham Lincoln's Cooper Institute Address, February 27, 1860.

The definition of Conservatism is essentially Anti-Progress.

where's the liberal progress. we are still waiting

Been done. You weren't paying attention.

A shame, that

If calling for civil rights, women's suffrage, and child labor laws are signs of insanity, perhaps we need more crazy liberals

Civil rights?
You do mean the civil rights of an innocent unborn child being chopped up and summarily ripped from the womb?

Actually, I was thinking about a woman only being half a person when giving testimony, slavery, and nightriding wit the Klan


Yes, exactly. Torn apart by social conservatives who attacked her for getting pregnant before getting married.

Child labor laws?
You mean like the laws that protected that poor thirteen year old girl who was RAPED by your fellow loony LIBERAL Roman Polanski?

A day in the life of Joe Conservative

Joe gets up at 6 a.m. and fills his coffeepot with water to prepare his morning coffee. The water is clean and good because some tree-hugging liberal fought for minimum water-quality standards.
With his first swallow of water, he takes his daily medication. His medications are safe to take because some stupid commie liberal fought to insure their safety and that they work as advertised.
All but $10 of his medications are paid for by his employer's medical plan because some liberal union workers fought their employers for paid medical insurance - now Joe gets it too.
He prepares his morning breakfast, bacon and eggs. Joe's bacon is safe to eat because some girly-man liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packing industry.In the morning shower, Joe reaches for his shampoo. His bottle is properly labeled with each ingredient and its amount in the total contents because some crybaby liberal fought for his right to know what he was putting on his body and how much it contained.
Joe dresses, walks outside and takes a deep breath. The air he breathes is clean because some environmentalist wacko liberal fought for laws to stop industries from polluting our air.
He walks to the subway station for his government-subsidized ride to work. It saves him considerable money in parking and transportation fees because some fancy-pants liberal fought for affordable public transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity to be a contributor.
Joe begins his workday. He has a good job with excellent pay, medical benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some lazy liberal union members fought and died for these working standards.
Joe's employer pays these standards because Joe's employer doesn't want his employees to call the union. If Joe is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed, he'll get a worker compensation or unemployment check because some stupid liberal didn't think he should lose his home because of his temporary misfortune.
It's noontime and Joe needs to make a bank deposit so he can pay some bills. Joe's deposit is federally insured by the FSLIC because some godless liberal wanted to protect Joe's money from unscrupulous bankers who ruined the banking system before the Great Depression.
Joe has to pay his Fannie Mae-underwritten mortgage and his below-market federal student loan because some elitist liberal decided that Joe and the government would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over his lifetime.
Joe is home from work. He plans to visit his father this evening at his farm home in the country. He gets in his car for the drive. His car is among the safest in the world because some America-hating liberal fought for car safety standards.
He arrives at his boyhood home. His was the third generation to live in the house financed by Farmers' Home Administration because bankers didn't want to make rural loans. The house didn't have electricity until some big-government liberal stuck his nose where it didn't belong and demanded rural electrification.
He is happy to see his father, who is now retired. His father lives on Social Security and a union pension because some wine-drinking, cheese-eating liberal made sure he could take care of himself so Joe wouldn't have to.
Joe gets back in his car for the ride home, and turns on a radio talk show. The radio host keeps saying that liberals are bad and conservatives are good. He doesn't mention that the beloved Republicans have fought against every protection and benefit Joe enjoys throughout his day. Joe agrees: "We don't need those big-government liberals ruining our lives! After all, I'm a self-made man who believes everyone should take care of themselves, just like I have."

If you're not a slave or "indentured servant" (white slave), don't think protection of slavery belongs in the constitution, if you've never been chained to a boat where half the passengers die, been whipped, had your family split up, been forced to "breed" with another slave you've never met, been raped by your boss, or killed for not being profitable, thank a liberal.

If you oppose political parties starting massive wars to destroy America, just because they lost the election, and killing hundreds of thousands of Americans in process - if you just don't have that much fanatical hatred of Lincoln's policy of to restricting slavery to states where it already existed, thank a liberal.

If you're part-Irish, Catholic, Jewish, or for that matter anything not Anglo-Saxon Protestant, and are allowed to live in America, and are not harassed and attacked for failing to be born Anglo-Saxon Protestant, or if you've ever bought or used anything built by a non-ASP American, thank a liberal.

If you kind of like freedom of speech, and don't want the state government to be able to censor you - (you think the 14th amendment is a good idea) - thank a liberal.

If you have ever bought or sold anything transported by the transcontinental railroad, or eaten food from a farm created by the railroad, thank a liberal.

If you think the US constitution is pretty cool, and have ever traveled too or done business with a country whose democracy was inspired by the American revolution, thank a liberal.

In short, if you've ever enjoyed anything of the post-stone-age world, thank a liberal.

...And if not, become a conservative.

Accept your role as one of the spoilers with good grace, there is an evolutionary reason for conservatism but progress ain't it.

and liberal stands for what???? a 10 trillon debt that won't be paid. kissing YOUR enemies ass. a dicktator that calls his own people thugs, gangs and Nazi's. a stim pack that's fallen flat on its ass. a country on the verge of civil war. is this what you call social progressive movements??? sounds more like bowl movements.

sounds like you the one that took it in the ass mate

1. Out of our ten trillion dollar national debt, 80% of it was accumulated under the last three conservative administrations.
2. You'd call anything short of running around the world with your middle finger to be "kissing your enemies ass".
3. How can you pronounce that a bill for which less than a fifth of the allocated funds have been spend is a failure? It's like saying my car can't get me from Atlanta to Los Angeles because I've only driven to Little Rock so far.
4. If the country is on the verge of civil war (which it isn't, but I'll buy your premise for the sake of discussion), it's because of right-wingers who feel they're entitled to rule and want to resort to violence because they didn't win the election.

And progress is spending on inefficiency? Because until I see some actual smart and/or efficient spending, I have no interest in that sort of progress - at all.

Balance is fine, but the balance that is reached is so flawed (flawed to me is government inefficiency and inefficient programs).

Oh, the article in the OP is WND - I have little interest in that sort of generalization of a large group of persons, either.

Been done. You weren't paying attention.

it has??? when??? lets see it. go on put it up. I see you offered NO proof. now. here's what you failed to pay attention to. since you hace ADD


Titanic spending bills of 2009
Here's a list of the titanic spending bills the Senate has passed since January.
$350 billion Wall Street bailout extension ( #5)
$787 billion stimulus ( #64)
$400 billion, earmark-infested omnibus spending bill ( #96)
$6 billion to federalize charities and pay volunteers ( #115)
$109 billion loan to the International Monetary Fund ( #201)
$3 billion for cash for clunkers ( #270)
$400 million in corporate welfare to help tourism corporations advertise overseas ( #272)
$4 billion bailout of the Postal Service ( #300)
Total: 1550.4 (or US$1,550,400,000,000) in 9 months. At this rate in 4 years they will spend this amount @5.333, which would come to a bit over US$8,268,.283,200,000 (That's 8.2 trillion for those who don't like to count, and that doesn't include "normal" government spending).

this comes out of YOUR pocket so cough it up communist. and there's a ton more on the way.

And I agree - all generalisations are useless

 

[rdean]

Conservatives are funnysuckers. They complains about the stimulus packaged that prize winning economist say kept us from another depression. Besides, they don't understand that the money wasn't just "given" away. I previously linked where the Federal Reserve said they already received 14 billion in profit from what has been paid back so far. Isn't that a hoot?

You see, they want the country to "fail". That's not news.

Then, even more strange, they on about education. What is education to a Republican? Bible study? Isn't that funny? It is. Bible Study, the conservative textbook. Well, not really for "study". They just memorize passages they have no clue what they mean.

Joe agrees: "We don't need those big-government liberals ruining our lives! After all, I'm a self-made man who believes everyone should take care of themselves, just like I have."

"Liberal policies made America the freest, wealthiest, most successful and most powerful nation in human history. Conservatism in power always threatens to undo that national progress, and is almost always frustrated by the innate decency and democratic instincts of the American people..." - Joe Conason

Conservatives are funnysuckers. They complains about the stimulus packaged that prize winning economist say kept us from another depression. Besides, they don't understand that the money wasn't just "given" away. I previously linked where the Federal Reserve said they already received 14 billion in profit from what has been paid back so far. Isn't that a hoot?

You see, they want the country to "fail". That's not news.

Then, even more strange, they on about education. What is education to a Republican? Bible study? Isn't that funny? It is. Bible Study, the conservative textbook. Well, not really for "study". They just memorize passages they have no clue what they mean.

your nose is bleeding

where's the liberal progress. we are still waiting

Been done. You weren't paying attention.

it has??? when??? lets see it. go on put it up. I see you offered NO proof. now. here's what you failed to pay attention to. since you hace ADD


Titanic spending bills of 2009
Here's a list of the titanic spending bills the Senate has passed since January.
$350 billion Wall Street bailout extension ( #5)
$787 billion stimulus ( #64)
$400 billion, earmark-infested omnibus spending bill ( #96)
$6 billion to federalize charities and pay volunteers ( #115)
$109 billion loan to the International Monetary Fund ( #201)
$3 billion for cash for clunkers ( #270)
$400 million in corporate welfare to help tourism corporations advertise overseas ( #272)
$4 billion bailout of the Postal Service ( #300)
Total: 1550.4 (or US$1,550,400,000,000) in 9 months. At this rate in 4 years they will spend this amount @5.333, which would come to a bit over US$8,268,.283,200,000 (That's 8.2 trillion for those who don't like to count, and that doesn't include "normal" government spending).

this comes out of YOUR pocket so cough it up communist. and there's a ton more on the way.

Communist? I thought you said it was the liberals?

That's right, your just a partisan bigot; you don't know what you're talking about at all, do you?

 

[Setarcos]

and liberal stands for what???? a 10 trillon debt that won't be paid. kissing YOUR enemies ass. a dicktator that calls his own people thugs, gangs and Nazi's. a stim pack that's fallen flat on its ass. a country on the verge of civil war. is this what you call social progressive movements??? sounds more like bowl movements.

sounds like you the one that took it in the ass mate

Find it difficult to think outside of your own patch of dirt or what?

How's my posting? Too partisan? Call 1-800-eat-shit-and-die

Very mature

Like I said. No clue.

If a conservative doesn’t like guns, they don’t buy one. If a liberal doesn’t like guns, then they think no one should have one.

If a conservative is a vegetarian, they don’t eat meat. If a liberal is, they want to ban all meat products for everyone.

If a conservative sees a foreign threat, he thinks about how to defeat his enemy. A liberal wonders how to surrender gracefully and still look good.

If a conservative is homosexual, they quietly enjoy their life. If a liberal is homosexual, they loudly demand legislated respect.

If a black man or Hispanic is conservative, they see themselves as independently successful. Their liberal counterparts see themselves as victims in need of government protection.

If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation. A liberal wonders who is going to take care of him.

If a conservative doesn’t like a talk show host, he switches channels. Liberals demand that those they don’t like be shut down.

If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn’t go to church. A liberal wants any mention of God or religion be silenced.

If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it. A liberal demands that his neighbors pay for his.

The ignorance is strong in this one.

Liberalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ~ Classical liberalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia =/= Communism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Communism is collectivist in nature and, as such, is diametrically counter to liberalism, which is founded upon individualist idealism
