Liberal roll call

[TNHarley]

So help me out. What is the definition of 'Liberty'?

the state of being free within society from oppressive restrictions imposed by authority on one's way of life, behavior, or political views:

I can't speak for Liberals, only for myself:

• Government can be a force for good in a democracy
• Every child deserves decent housing, food, and medical care, and an education
• Punishing the guilty is not as important as protecting the innocent

You are proving what I said.

...a vague, rosy notion of something good, noble and just: the advent of these things will bring instant euphoria and a social order beyond reproach.

 

[ding]

Yes. If you bothered to look before you posted you wouldn't have to ask.

I did bother to look. That's WHY I am asking.

You may well be right but I still think Trump took a bus that was heading for a cliff and hit the accelerator.

That bus was and is still heading for a cliff. It's convenient for you to blame one man but the reality is that the country as a whole is responsible. Political leaders are a reflection of the people.

I think you think wrong.

Now, define "the", "state", "of" , "being" "free"...........

It's almost like Pogo mach2, ain't it?

Not very nice of you, remember, we are all children of God

Do you claim to be a child of God, or are you an atheist communist?

I suspect 99% of Americans would agree, I know I do, so why do you think you are only one of a few who believe this?

Hardly, those were a list of my values, the ones upon which I base my actions. You want vague, rosy notions talk to TNHarley about his recent post.

If you read more carefully you'd see I don't blame Trump for where the bus is heading, only that he is not hitting the brake. Politicians generally reflect the people (e.g., Biden) but some are charismatic enough (e.g., Trump) to actually LEAD the people.

I dont reckon you know what vague means either
"Liberty" is all encompassing.
Send me your address. Im going to send you a ******* dictionary.

You don't have values.All you have is complete conformity to an extensive set of opinions.

It's almost like Pogo mach2, ain't it?

I'd settle for definitions of "free" and "oppressive".

Do you claim the liberty to kill anyone you want?

 

[alang1216]

Do you claim to be a child of God, or are you an atheist communist?

Can't I be both?

Ones liberty ends at anothers nose.
Are you just trolling? Or are you missing a chromosome? It HAS to be one or the other.

What is the difference between a 'value' and an 'opinion'?

Again, the vast majority of Americans would agree with you. I do. So why do you feel you are such a small minority?

Saying you support liberty means nothing when you back a party and policies that infringe on it.
Actions speak louder than words.
