Why Do So Few Admit To Being Liberals?

[ClosedCaption]

I personally like to be told by other people who is and is not a liberal. That way I dont have to do too much thinking

You mean like how everyone insists Bush was a die Hard Conservative despite the fact he Spent like there was no tomorrow?

IMO if you are not a fiscal Conservative, you do not deserve the title at all.

Cutting taxes while increasing spending is the actions of a madman, not a conservative.

You know when Bush stopped being a conservative? The day after he left office...

I'm in the majority by the way. You are in the minority if you haven't noticed.

I'm a liberal and I have a liberal President in the whitehouse.

You're a conservative and can't even get a conservative NOMINATED to run for President, let alone win.

Yeah, you're in the majority alright. In Conservatopian math.

 

[wyomingpatriot]

conservatives are hypocritical cocksuckers. they vote for increaded spending with every breath in their body, while offering no solutions to real, pressing problems of the 21st century, other than re-elect me.
democrats are hypocritical cocksuckers, because of increasing the deficit. but wait, the republicans have done more of that than democrats! what do i do?

 

[wyomingpatriot]

increased, excuse me, not increaded. we desperately need more than two dominant parties.

The OP claims that if JFK were around today, he would be a Republican...

...okay...let's examine that...

1. Kennedy was a liberal Democrat in his day, but by today's partisan standards he would be a Republican, according to you people? (Opt out here, or proceed at your own peril)

2. What then about Conservative Democrats in Kennedy's day? They would most certainly be Republicans by today's standards. Correct?

3. And what were those Conservative Democrats up to back in the 60's ? Oh, right, they were fighting against CIVIL RIGHTS AND DESEGREGATION!!

...So, as we have many many many times tried to explain to you ineducable dolts, the Democrats of the 60's who were opposing civil rights and desegregation were in fact CONSERVATIVES who today would OF COURSE be Republicans.

If you want to claim John F. Kennedy as yours, well, you get to own all those conservative anti-civil rights anti-desegregationists as well.

Got that?

lol

Really, this should be good. Explain:

His redistribution of wealth from the people to the pharmaceutical companies is one example. His tearing down the wall between secular government and religion, with his faith based initiative is another. His class warfare against the middle and lower class by financing his huge tax cut to the wealthy, on the debt we collectively hold is a very conservative position.

 

[Dick Tuck]

A Liberal is a nuclear conservative, scared shit of their own shadows.

To the contrary, liberals have no fear of the new and different. We celebrate our diversity rather than rue for the white bread days of some romanticized past, where June Cleaver would bake cookies for after school snacks while vacuuming in her heels and pearls.

 

[wyomingpatriot]

dick tuck is completely right in his last post. give me guidance, i'm having an identity crisis - i believe in automatic, mandatory death sentences for convicted sex offenders; i believe in withdrawing every semblance of military presence in foreign countries (ron paul is awesome); i believe in no health care for imprisoned felons; i believe in absolutely no welfare state; i believe in high taxes (by our standards), with the working citizen receiving free mass transportation, free education, free health care, four lane highways for everybody; i believe in euthanizing invalids and felons and pedophiles who drain our society of its youth and vigor...where does all this fit?

Kevorkianism?

 

[wyomingpatriot]

i'm sorry, by "everybody getting free healthcare, education, etc." i mean working, contributing citizens. the government will give them a job, no matter what, and shall expect much in return, such as high taxes, but will also give much in return, such as a public road and railroad between every community. it should be by law that you must work, and those who don't work and expect handout after handout should be ruthlessly persecuted and hunted down, and barred from every railroad and every privilege working citizens enjoy. if you commit a felony or are over the age of 85 and invalid, you're no longer human, and shall be denied all such privileges.

TS, stop wasting bandwidth trying to pad your post count

You mean the healthcare bill that passed by a significant majority of our Constitutionally established Congress?

I cannot believe you posted that with a straight face..you were laughing right?

It must be a holiday. Half the board is drunk tonight.

Did you miss the day in 5th grade when you learned how a bill becomes law?

Libs are the children in our society, they get wild-eyed and froth at the mouth when they don't get their way, just like children do.

And they call names, don't forget.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to AllieBaba again.

 

[Titanic Sailor]

There's too much stupidity to respond too on the last two pages. Unbelievable..

You folks attend public school?

 

[Titanic Sailor]

No one has done more for pharmaceutical companies, or health insurance industries than your boy Obama and his hoodlums. In fact, they are so afraid during this election, they have already tabled the decision on the Bush tax cuts which many Democrats are saying should be maintained.

Are ewe following knuckleheads?

 

[editec]

The very fact that people think that the words conservative or liberal mean something specific indicates the level of density that exists in American politics.

Neither party stands for anything much, folks.

that why when push comes to shove their responses to events is so very similar.

Would a real free marketeer conservative initiate TARP?

Of course not.

Bush II did.

Would a real liberal continue to piss away money in Iraq and Afghanistan?

Of course not.

But Obama's policies in those nation is simply the continuation of the policies that were in place when Bush II was in office.

You partisans are idiots.

Tools of people whose contempt for you is well founded based on how easily you are manipulated by them.

 

[PoliticalChic]

Wow, you quoted someone accusing Wilson of believing something.

I can write a book saying you believe blacks are the best lay and that you hate America...

You're the same as every other religious nut. Arthur Koestler warned us about people like you.

Here, indeed, is the explanation of a phenomenon which has puzzled many observers. How could the intellectuals accept [this dogma]? ... The [dogmatic] novice, subjecting his soul to the canon law of[their leaders], felt something of the release which Catholicism also brings... Once the renunciation has been made, the mind, instead of operating freely, becomes the servant of a higher and unquestioned purpose. To deny the truth is an act of service. This, of course, is why it is useless to discuss any particular aspect of politics with a[n adherent of dogma]. Any genuine intellectual contact which you have with him involves a challenge to his fundamental faith, a struggle for his soul. For it is very much easier to lay the oblation of spiritual pride on the alter of [political vision] than to snatch it back again

Cowardly simpleton, admit you are wrong.

Of course, the glaring error in your post is that, while there is a liberal party, Democrat...there is not currently a conservative party.

I wonder when we ever had a so called "conservative" in politics. Our nation's founders were worried from the start that our government would turn into this corrupt, self serving fiasco.
