"Rip a page out of the Democrat play book. Tag every descriptor with extreme. Extreme leftist Extreme lefty Extreme Marxist Extreme socialist It works."
What do you think about this?
Fascist is more accurate.
So what the Democrats use the IRS to go after its supposed enemies,The FBI protects the Democrats like Hillary and goes after to average to poor citizens. Think about it folks. In my opinion the Democrat Party is Evil and uses government to go after folks that disagree with them. Nothing different that Venezuela ,Cuba and Hitler did. America’s ignorance is now destroying her.
I never use the term “liberal” unless it’s in quotes. I use progressives if I’m trying to be nice, and commies most of the time.
Jefferson, Adams and Washington were “liberals”...champions of liberty.
The current leftist party is best described as “Socio-communists”.
Fascist?
Meh...the first step toward communism.
Democrats are anti-democracy, and they are the opposite of true liberals. How someone can call themselves a liberal and be a democrat today is a mystery
“America’s ignorance is now destroying her.”
That’s one of the better encapsulations of everything I’ve heard of late.
What do you think about this?
This will subject me to flaming, but I think the fact that she’s a woman cannot be ignored. The old line about a woman scorned has a grain of truth to it. I have seen too many women try to settle scores in the workplace in unseemly ways. They’d go places a man would never go.
Aside from that, this is pretty much standard operating procedure for Democrats in Pennsylvania. Where she screwed-up was in turning her wrath on other Democrats. She could have gotten away with this for years if she had confined herself to shafting Republicans.
Despite all that is outlined here, I would not be shocked if she got elected to some office again after she gets out of prison (again, SOP for Pennsylvania Democrats)
This is why I just call them communists.
I only use socialist if someone points it out, but only to elaborate why I think it’s as bad as communism and, in some ways, worse.
How about “Extreme Fascists”?
Communists hijacked the word “Liberal” years ago.
I never use the term “liberal,” either in my writing or casual conversation. My preferred words are “leftist” or “statist.”
I’ll spare you the long explanation but most “conservatives” today are what historically would be called “liberals.” Economist Murray Rothbard wrote a superb essay on this point, which I think would be easy to find on the Mises Institute site.
Today, you see the term “classical liberal” used from time to time.
Think John Locke, Montesqieu, Adam Smith. In our time, think of the Austrian school economists like Mises, Rothbard, and Friedrich von Hayek.
Well aware that what I am is actually “liberal”. Been here fer a while now.
chickensoup has been saying this ever since she first came to FR 17 years ago!
Words matter and how they are used matters.
Always use leftist.
Always paint them for what they are.
Democrat leftists are morally libertine but politically fascist and totalitarian in their views as to how the state should be run!
I think people confuse liberal with libertine!
They really are neo-feudalists.
Something is needed to make them embarrassed to show who they are publicly.
I disagree. Most people with any kind of political awareness learned long ago the "liberals" are among the most illiberal people conceivable. "Liberals" themselves realized this years ago and have strived assiduously to supplant the term with the word "progressive." They are no more progressive (except toward a dictatorship) than they are liberal. I prefer to call them liberals precisely because of their aversion to the term.
