Real Americans prefer freedom, liberals don't.

[Pheonixops]

What if you're an Afro and you have no potential to earn more than just enough to cover basic room and board in a plantation stable if not for government handouts and coercion of businesses?

blacks were actually making very rapid economic progress in the
1950's. It was only the near genocidal liberal Great Society that stopped and reversed the process.

Really?
"The unemployment level of blacks was high in post-war America, doubled that of whites. Poverty affected more than fifty percent of blacks even in the solid post-war boom America. Many black children came from poverty stricken or broken homes and attended schools that lacked in supplies such as books, magazines, writing tables, or even pens and pencils. By the mid 1950’s racial discontent was at an unusual high. For blacks in America, the seeds of malcontent had been a long time sprouting. The roots took firm hold after World War II. Having come back from World War II in 1945, many black male GIs looked forward to starting as prosperous a life as their white male counterparts."

Robert Samuelson:

"A recent Pew poll asked people to pick between “freedom to pursue life’s goals without state interference” and the “state guarantees nobody is in need.” Americans selected freedom 58 percent to 35 percent. European responses were reversed: Germany’s 36 percent to 62 percent was typical. By wide margins compared with Europeans, Americans believe that “success in life” is determined by individual effort and not by outside forces. Yet, in their voting habits, Americans often prefer security."

That's a misleading title. Where is there anything about Liberals? Liberal thought:
A Gift for My Daughter

That's conservative thought.

Liberals feel entitled to that which they haven't earned.

Guys, I think he's right. I'm a Liberal and if there's anything I hate it's freedom!


Wait. No. I was thinking of cancer.

The shackles of poverty is the enemy of "Freedom".

There's some of that entitlement mindset I was talking about.

And yet it's Republicans who want to police women's "vagina".

Don't we all?

Which doesn't make them "liberals" - it makes them fascists.

The root word of liberal is liberty....

The real problem is that both parties take away your liberties, which you obviously fail to understand. The right just does it and says "its because this is right", which is weird, because thats the exact same thing the left says.

Progressives don't know what the fuck liberalism is....

What liberties have the "right" taken away?

I agree that some on the right (RINO's) are just as bad as progressives. Most on the right oppose authoritarian measures - which really makes them left (see the House)....

The right and the left flipped-flopped several years ago. The alleged "liberals" are really right wing presently.

No, that's Liberal and Libertarian thought. I guarantee you that Harry Browne didn't support the clowns and hypocrites that YOU and people like YOU support and vote for.

Real Americans prefer freedom, liberals don't.

This Nation’s history and the evidence it provides demonstrates that not to be the case.

A survey of Constitutional case law during the second half of the 20th Century alone documents conservative opposition to freedom and liberty where liberals have been champions of both.

Conservative support of segregation and discrimination during the 1950s.

Conservative opposition to Civil Rights and Voting Rights legislation during the 1960s.

Conservative opposition to due process and equal protection rights with regard to search and seizure, the right to counsel, the right to marry, the right to privacy, and the right to vote.

The conservative tradition of hostility to freedom and liberty continues to this day with their efforts to deny same sex couples equal access to marriage law and renewed attacks on privacy rights.

Conservatives are indeed ‘real Americans,’ they serve an important function demonstrating the Constitution is needed as much today as anytime in this Nation’s history, and they are a constant reminder of how much further we have to go as a Nation.

Oh really dumbass?? guess what? you have progressed your progressive bullshit into authoritarianism...

Do you not fucking realize that??

What individual who wants liberty LOOKS TO THEIR FUCKING GOVERNMENT TO PROVIDE FOR THEM - ALL THE WHILE EXPECTING OTHERS TO FOOT THE BILL???

That's not very liberal now is it?

Liberal doesn't mean "nice" it means LIBERTY you dumb motherfucker.

Once again - once teachers unionized it was all down hill - we end up with fascists who believe they're "liberal" because they support a fascist government that gives people free shit.

 

[Darkwind]

Link to poll or STFU.

Just STFU. You don't even have to do anything at all. Kind like how you lazy fucks like it.

 

[HUGGY]

There is no such thing as a "liberal". The term is used so often in so many circumstances that it has lost all meaning. This is something the followers of Newt and Karl do with frequency. They set out to demonize a certain type of political persuasion and end up just destroying any meaning of the term. The politics of hate mongering and attack don't serve anyone or anything but the frail egos of those that cannot compromise. They do not compromise because they are not in it to serve any part of the public. They are only in it to serve those that pay them fortunes to muddy the waters and attempt to make anyone in the way of thier puppet masters look evil. All propaganda eventually ends up looking self serving. What it leaves behind is a lot of people with no idea what to think or discuss with any meaning.

Most of the Christian Fundamentalist lemming dupes on USMB are not interested how a "liberal" defines him or her self. They only care how the Koch brothers or Karl Rove or Newt Gingrich define what a "liberal" is. Like I said. There is no such thing as a "liberal".

Pretty bossy for a guy who shits on police cars.

Actually be funny or STFU.

I did it when I was a young teen to get back at a grouchy old man. On the windshield.
