If liberalism is built on ideas, then why do you have to get it with endless accusations of racism, misogyny, xenophobia, etc? Why can't you justify it on it's merits?
As I have started saying.
If you can't make the case for you position based on it's merits without accusing those who oppose you of racism,
then you can't make the case for your position based on it's merits.
That shows that you are wrong.
People overwhelmingly do want to do the right thing. Even most socially conservative Christians don't want to do anything to gays, even be rude to them. No one actually thinks the rich shouldn't pay taxes, corporations shouldn't be responsible with things like pollution or that there should be no laws against pollution. People over-whelmingly think blacks should be given a fair chance. That Muslims and Mexicans are mostly decent people.
The hyperbole by the leftist ideologues like Wry is destroying this country and for their own selfish interest. There is no charity, understanding or concern for anyone but themselves in it
Nice try.
- The Social Conservative Movement (SCM) wanted to deny the contract of marriage to gay and lesbian couples
- The SCM pushed for intrusive & unnecessary medical procedure for women seeking abortions
- The SCM supported legislation restricting abortion clinics with unnecessary regulations and adding an unnecessary burden to these women
- The SCM marched outside of abotion clinics showing graphic picture of late term abortions to women
Your last paragraph is dishonest and is based on your biases and ignorance. My self interest has nothing to do with my opinions. My immediate family is well off, we have no need for government assistance in terms of medical care, food, clothing, shelter or cash.
What I expect from the federal, state and local governments is security; I know that the so called free market system is a fiction, one which leaves the many behind, and benefits the well off. My ideals, not ideology, is based on my education and broad experience; your claims and spins are nothing but fictions, conjured up on biases, prejudices and fantasies.
I understand that governmental regulations can be a burden to some, but lifesaving to others. The meme that government is tyrannical when it requires common sense polices (granted, not all regs are based on common or sense of any kind) is another fiction, based on the tenet "I've got mine, **** the rest of you" which defines the Callous Conservative.
