The Liberal Manifesto
The Liberal Manifesto: Book Excerpt

From Chapter 1: "What It Means To Be A Liberal" in How to Win a Fight with a Conservative
Liberals believe that fighting for social justice, equal rights, a social safety net, and economic justice for the 99% is for the common good, and not part of a socialist plot.

Liberals believe that clean air, clean water, access to education, and universal health care are basic human rights, not privileges—and seriously not part of a socialist plot.

Liberals believe in getting their news from Jon Stewart and their comedy from Fox News.

Liberals refuse to believe that corporations are people until Texas executes one.

Liberals believe in two simple things that will save the economy: gay bridal registries and taxing legalized marijuana.

Liberals believe in separating church and hate and doing what Jesus would actually do, instead of lobbying for more tax cuts that benefit the wealthy, while stripping food stamps away from the poor.

Liberals believe that just because you’re rich, you’re not a “job creator,” particularly if your name is Snooki, and especially if you’re a soulless CEO who has just laid off his entire U.S. workforce because he found a Chinese sweatshop that can do the work on the cheap. That makes you a “job exporter,” and a douche bag.

Liberals believe in the supremacy of science, facts, and reason-based thought, and that if global warming and evolution are theories, then so are gravity and NASCAR.

Liberals believe in offering conservatives a concession: don’t pray in our schools, and we won’t think in your churches.

Liberals believe there is no bigger government than the one that listens to your phone calls for your own protection, wants to put itself in charge of every single pregnancy, censors your textbooks, arrests and detains you indefinitely without charge, or attempts to dictate who you can marry.

Liberals believe the best way to fight terror is to hunt down and kill the terrorists that actually attacked you. Mission accomplished! You’re welcome!

Liberals believe that supporting our troops doesn’t just mean wearing American-flag underwear; it means not sending soldiers off to fight phony wars in the first place, and not voting people into office who plan to slash veterans’ benefits to spite the other party. (Republicans, we’re looking at you.)

Liberals believe that no banks are too big to fail, too big to be held to stricter financial regulations, or too big to have the people running them thrown in jail for ripping America off.

Liberals believe that deep-pocketed special interests shouldn’t be allowed to spend unlimited money to buy off politicians and game our elections because when private power becomes stronger than the state itself, that’s what Franklin Roosevelt once called the essence of fascism. Or as Republicans call it, a fund-raiser.

And more than anything else, liberals believe that it’s time to come together as a country, restore sanity, and refuse to be held hostage by a merry band of right-wing faux patriots who stand for blocking or repealing all of the above and turning American into a corpo-fascist idiocracy that’s for sale to the highest bidder.

La guerra en nosotros mismos manifiesto



An interesting , and not totally unexpected result of the economic deathspiral upon us seems to have grown it's own maggots like trash left out in the heat. As the {former} middle class lifeboat shrinks , the sqaubbling blame game among it's occupants has esculated to mutinous proportions.


First they came for the partisans, people who base all their faith in what , for all apperances is, a democratic republic. But each and every election has shown us only two choices, which out of 1/3 billion citizens is not only much of a choice to begin with, but choices that are lobbyied so relentlessly by concentrated wealth that they are essentially, after the rethoric is stripped off, the same choice.


Yet the general populance historically venting their discontent via huge party swings, has been repeatedly subjected of late to a stymied efficy mired in broken campaign promises of change equating to a new spin on old problems with the same undertones of collusion.


But we did not speak, because our superficial political mentality crippled us from delving into the magnitude of detail following the $$$$


Next they came for clarity and transparency, obsfuscating every law, parlaying every bill into unreadably extranious legaleese , much to the benifit of special intrest inclusions , to be presented to a legislature for 11th hour votes, with little to no time for detailed reflection . One of our shining examples are our tax codes, which has evolved into a specialty service for the upper echelon with more hidey holes than dones has pills, while the servant class continues it's generic H&R block fare


Despite the growing disparity, the tax nazi's came for the little guy next, fueled by nieghbor v. lifeboat neighbor's discontent that a small crumb from the ruling class might go undetected , while the simple fact that wall street socialism for the rich / capatilism for the rest of us would result in spending the next generation into debt flew right over their heads

But we did not speak, because we idolized greed, and worshipped mammon


Next they came for our freedoms, all with orwellian twists like free speech zone, patriot act, employee free choice act, literally changing the meaning of words by degree....all goaded on by jingoists who were more than willing to have their fellow lifeboaters walk the gangplank , for a pat on the head & a little security

But we did not speak , and gave up innocence until proven guilty , despite those freedoms being paid for in blood


Next they came for Lady Justice, polluting our system of liberty for one and all equally by introducing celebrity justice's deeper pockets , media mayhem, and further appointing judicals for the sake of ideology than integrity. But we did not speak , because we accepted hollywoods moral bankrupcy, and thus became as blind as lady justice herself to our own fundamentals


Next they came for our jobs, claiming the trickle down effect of outsourcing would eventually benifit the collective, which reduced a healthy producer nation to a consumer nation. The result of prostituting a third world working force's view of America and Americans creating a wot backlash inversley proportional to the torch of freedom our fathers and grandfathers presented them with. And now our nation's dollar may fall from being a benchmark in the global fiat's monetary consortium via the IMF's SDR. But we did not speak because as this occured they focused our attentions on the immigrants stealing our jobs


Next they came for our homes, yet despite predatory lending practices of our fiscal institutions, they threw us to the sharks claiming our inability to keep up due to living lavish wanton lifestyles beyond our means. But we did not speak because keeping up with the Jones's was what we were social engineered to do


Next they came for our kids, moving the educational goal posts making them less competitive in a market with less opportunity, subjecting them to a war on drugs with extreeme police state implimentations that no sane country has. But we did not speak, because we were perfect children raised without such strife


Next they came for our seniors, who after being subjected to our pharmacabal's consistent influence, would systematically be drained of all their assets and packed off into their own tidy scuttle to meet their ends. But we did not speak, because walton mountain is merely the nuclear families defereed entertainment now


Next they changed the labels, radicalizing terms like conservative, liberal, christian and jew or muslim so that each would view the other with contempt. But we did not speak because it was simply easier to turn one's back on a brother, than to address the institutionalizing of misathropic mannerism where a patriot can love his country and hate half the people in it


And so it seems we are really at war with ourselves now, a balkanized homogonized citizenry adrift in what was once a country that could achieve a collective direction. So when they come for those of us left in this raft of straw, who will be left to speak for us?

It's ironic that a FOX Noise-parroting Repugnican like you would oppose health care reform because it would get you the Prozac you so desperately need.

The Liberal Manifesto
From Chapter 1: "What It Means To Be A Liberal" in How to Win a Fight with a Conservative
Liberals believe that fighting for social justice, equal rights, a social safety net, and economic justice for the 99% is for the common good, and not part of a socialist plot.

Liberals believe that clean air, clean water, access to education, and universal health care are basic human rights, not privileges—and seriously not part of a socialist plot.

Liberals believe in getting their news from Jon Stewart and their comedy from Fox News.

Liberals refuse to believe that corporations are people until Texas executes one.

Liberals believe in two simple things that will save the economy: gay bridal registries and taxing legalized marijuana.

Liberals believe in separating church and hate and doing what Jesus would actually do, instead of lobbying for more tax cuts that benefit the wealthy, while stripping food stamps away from the poor.

Liberals believe that just because you’re rich, you’re not a “job creator,” particularly if your name is Snooki, and especially if you’re a soulless CEO who has just laid off his entire U.S. workforce because he found a Chinese sweatshop that can do the work on the cheap. That makes you a “job exporter,” and a douche bag.

Liberals believe in the supremacy of science, facts, and reason-based thought, and that if global warming and evolution are theories, then so are gravity and NASCAR.

Liberals believe in offering conservatives a concession: don’t pray in our schools, and we won’t think in your churches.

Liberals believe there is no bigger government than the one that listens to your phone calls for your own protection, wants to put itself in charge of every single pregnancy, censors your textbooks, arrests and detains you indefinitely without charge, or attempts to dictate who you can marry.

Liberals believe the best way to fight terror is to hunt down and kill the terrorists that actually attacked you. Mission accomplished! You’re welcome!

Liberals believe that supporting our troops doesn’t just mean wearing American-flag underwear; it means not sending soldiers off to fight phony wars in the first place, and not voting people into office who plan to slash veterans’ benefits to spite the other party. (Republicans, we’re looking at you.)

Liberals believe that no banks are too big to fail, too big to be held to stricter financial regulations, or too big to have the people running them thrown in jail for ripping America off.

Liberals believe that deep-pocketed special interests shouldn’t be allowed to spend unlimited money to buy off politicians and game our elections because when private power becomes stronger than the state itself, that’s what Franklin Roosevelt once called the essence of fascism. Or as Republicans call it, a fund-raiser.

And more than anything else, liberals believe that it’s time to come together as a country, restore sanity, and refuse to be held hostage by a merry band of right-wing faux patriots who stand for blocking or repealing all of the above and turning American into a corpo-fascist idiocracy that’s for sale to the highest bidder.

You win the internet for today.

I'd rather scoop my eyes out with a melon baller than read your dumbass blog, you pajama-clad, basement-dwelling cyber jihadist.

Being a liberal means being tolerant of other religious beliefs, like being a Muslim

You left that one out, didn't you?

 

[Sunni Man]

Christopher Columbus was the first liberal Democrat. ....

He left not knowing where he was going, got there not knowing where he was, returned not knowing where he'd been, and did it all on borrowed money. ....

Tell me, you deranged, bunker-dwelling fanatic, do you Tweet your insanity too?

 

[Votto]

You could have made the list much simpler.

Being a liberal means:

1. We need higher taxes. You can never have enough.
2. More social government programs. You can never have enough
3. Individual rights, but only when it comes to abortion, drugs, and being in the country illegally.

There, was that so hard?

We don't have to be tolerant of people actively trying to harm.the United States.

Sunni, you remind me of someone like Clearance Thomas on the Supreme court. He is a conservative so they hate him, despite pretending to want to celebrate the success of African Americans and wishing they would excel more in society.

Being a conservative Muslim you are no better I'm afraid.
