Liberal

A liberal is someone who craves an increase in government spending, power, and control, such as ObamaCare. Liberals also support the censorship and denial of Christianity. Liberals who are a part of the secular left prefer the atheist religion over the Christian faith, as atheism has no objective morality to hinder their big government plans. Increasingly, liberals side with the homosexual agenda, including homosexual "marriage". Liberals favor a welfare state where people receive endless entitlements without working. The liberal ideology has degenerated into economically unsound views and intolerant ideology. All liberals support, in knee-jerk fashion, the opposite of conservative principles, while lacking an actual ideology or values of their own. Many of them cannot understand Christian language.

Polling data has consistently shown that an increasingly large percentage of Americans identify as conservative, rather than as liberal, currently by 38% to 21%.[6] However, liberals and "progressives" oftentimes falsely say the exact opposite.

Liberals support the following political positions and practices: Wasting money on ineffective government programs (the significant economic problems in the Eurozone due to government debt will no doubt increasingly discredit this aspect of liberal ideology and make things more difficult for advocates of liberal economic ideologies) Denial of science[8] (especially creation science) Government's ability to solve economic problems Hypocrisy The belief that terrorism is not a huge threat, and that the main reason for Muslim extremists' hostility towards America is because of bad foreign policy [9] Brainwashing voters with propaganda Hedonism Taxpayer-funded and state-encouraged abortion Rejection of Biblical standards Hatred[11] Murder (through abortion, infanticide, assisted suicide, and euthanasia) Censorship[12] Socialism[13] Unsuccessful Keynesian economics as opposed to sound free market economics Crying instead of accepting reality[14] Cessation of teacher-led prayer in classrooms and school/state-sponsored religious events. Ending Western morality[15] Gun control Tyranny[16] Treason[17] Elitism[18] Pseudo-intellectualism[19] Affirmative action[9] Opposition to government regulation or restriction of obscenity, pornography and violence in video games as a First Amendment right[20] Authoritarian government[21] Genocide[22] Government-funded medical care, such as Obamacare Fascism Belief in evolution Destroying the Christian foundations on which America was built on. Destroying conservative family values and replacing them with immoral Hollywood values, such as abortion Brainwashing through government-censored public education Limiting personal freedom.[23] Liberal support for gun control is an example of this. High progressive taxes[24] as a form of class warfare against wealthy business owners.[25] Placement of men and women in the same jobs in the military Slowly eroding the U.S. through Progressivism.[26] Legalized same-sex "marriage" and homosexual adoption Failed tax and spend economics Smearing[27] Libertine sexual morality. See: Evolutionary belief and sexual immorality and Liberal Christianity and marital infidelity Economic sector regulations[9] Denial of conservative roles in history. For example, liberals frequently claim[28] that George Washington was a deist when he was actually a devout Episcopalian. Corruption[29] Spreading of political correctness Sadism[30] Government mass-surveillance Non-syndicalist labor unions Racism[31] Bigotry Anti-Semitism Advocating incorrect policies [32] Encouraging promiscuity and immorality through sexual education rather than teaching abstinence from premarital sex[33] A "living Constitution" that is reinterpreted as liberals prefer, rather than how it is thought to have been intended. Government programs to rehabilitate criminals Slander[34] Gender Equality Obesity[35] Anti-Americanism Bestiality as a human right[36] Abolition of the death penalty Environmentalism[37] Globalism Pedophilia[38] Unconstitutionally mandated separation of church and state. Opposition to full private property rights.[39] Reinstatement of the Fairness Doctrine Welfare Stalinism Opposition to domestic wire-tapping as authorized in the Patriot Act Mutilating corpses[40] Oppression of business rather than a laissez-faire capitalist economy Enforced homosexuality[41] Opposition to the Constitution. Liberals seek to expand federal power at the expense of local government and silence the conservatives who hold them back, violating the 10th and 1st Amendments respectively. Denial of traditional gender roles Robbery and other forms of crime (see Gun control) Support of financially irresponsible policies Slavery[42] Encouragement of "global warming" alarmism Rejection of logical[43] standards

Liberals currently use two Clauses of the Constitution to try to expand their power: the Commerce Clause and the General Welfare Clause. The General Welfare Clause mentions "promoting the general welfare". This to a liberal means taxing the rich at increased rates and redistributing that money. The Commerce Clause, on the other hand, says that Congress has the power to regulate trade with foreign nations, between the states and with the Indian tribes. Since the days of FDR this Clause has been interpreted very loosely and has resulted in the federal government expanding its power. The latest example is The Affordable Care Act (ACA), better known as Obamacare. In the ACA, the liberals justify the individual mandate by saying it regulates commerce between the states.

The decline in liberal principles can be illustrated by how Franklin Delano Roosevelt opposed and condemned public sector unions, stating that the idea of collective bargaining can't be transferred from the private to the public sector, as that would result in the government being unable to carry out its duties. Yet today, decades later, Democrats and liberals are in lock-step with public sector unions, as they "donate" money to the reelection campaign in exchange for more taxpayer money in their wallets and fluffed up pensions.

Current dictionaries describe the liberal ideology by pretending that a liberal is "a person who favors a political philosophy of progress and reform and the protection of civil liberties" or "a person who favors an economic theory of laissez-faire and self-regulating markets,"[44] or "open-minded or tolerant, especially free of or not bound by traditional or conventional ideas, values, etc." or "favorable to or in accord with concepts of maximum individual freedom possible, especially as guaranteed by law and secured by governmental protection of civil liberties."[45] In practical usage, the term "liberal" is more closely synonymous with "radical," "immoral," "anti-freedom," "elitist," or "bad."

The left is communist in nature and works, and has and will never work for good as it denies the one true and living God in Christ Jesus and has killed more peoples than all religious extremism ever has. The leftist global socialist Stephen Carter said of liberalism

[But the left has work to do, not only on policy and organization but also on attitude. Too many of my progressive friends seem to have forgotten how to make actual arguments, and have become expert instead at condemnation, derision and mockery. On issue after issue, they’re very good at explaining why no one could oppose their policy positions except for the basest of motives. As to those positions themselves, they are too often announced with a zealous solemnity suggesting that their views are Holy Writ -- and those who disagree are cast into the outer political darkness. In short, the left has lately been dripping with hubris, which in classic literature always portends a fall]

While inexplicably, irrationally and incoherently catering to every demand of those who embrace and observe a pseudo-religion called islam that practices every aspect that they criticize and chastise Christians for supposedly engaging in.

What passes for liberalism is animal consciousness, the alternative to God consciousness. It is a “lost in sin” condition. Evidence is most obvious in those who curse God and slander Christ. These are demonic influences.

God is a jealous god. He does not want humans to play god and try to create heaven(Eden if you will) on earth. Communists, leftist whatever-ists think they can play God. God gave humans that chance once and it was rejected never will us mere mortals be given a second chance at Eden. We cannot re create Eden on Earth and it is foolish to try.

Good post. May I add, Liberalism takes every one of the 10 commandments and celebrates flipping them. Where the commandments say “DO” they say “DON’T” and where they say “DON’T” they say “DO”.

(Richard Dreyfuss) was on Tucker Carlson yesterday April 28, 2017 and spoke about America the way all our elected should. Rarely have I heard 'American First' put so succinctly....his well thought out and timely discourse was brilliant.

If you agree sign his petition for civics to be taught once again in our public schools.

“Liberal” - the outdated term for those who are just the OPPOSITE of the actual root meaning of the word. Classic “liberal” means one who loves liberty which is the absence of government coercion.

Can we PLEASE STOP calling these tyrants and tyrant-lovers “liberals”?

Just call them LEFTISTS which is what they are. I call them Lying Leftists and you can add much more to that including the Enemy Within.

Yes indeed. They are of those God warned against saying that “there is no God” and saying “that evil is good and good is evil”.

Thank God for the Scriptures because so many cults are now apostate though they say they say they are Christian and deny the Scriptures as the Word of God. Nevertheless, the Word of God stands sure and all who are incensed against Christ Jesus will suffer the fate of all unbelievers, the Lake of Fire is for those whose name is not found in the book of Life of Jesus our Lord and Our Saviour.

They are anti truth, and Christ is the way and the truth and the life. They are Satan’s minions and will be with Satan in the Lake of Fire, as the Scriptures teach of those who die in unbelief.

Communism, the god that failed, did not have an identifiable supernatural being to act as a secondary enforcer, who gave the primary enforcers the justification and authority to kill or enslave all the “enemies of the state” who dared to resist the omnipotent presence and power of the One Right Way.

Islam, under its thin veneer of “religion” was the intellectual predecessor to the modern growth of nearly all forms of socialist government, National Socialism or International Socialism, both of which shucked off the religious aspect, only to find that unlike Islam, they could not endure for centuries. Islam, being without any moral underpinnings like the Ten Commandments or the Golden Rule, could do just about as many oppressive and tyrannical things as they could dream up, and use the supposed wrath of Allah and his Prophet, Mohammed Ali (P*ss be on his name!) to keep the backsliders in line.

There is another name for today’s liberals. They are called Republicans. The liberals of yesterday are now called socialists or Marxists depending on how radicalized they have become. The neocons are now the fascists.

The only thing that has never changed is a conservative. Because we have principles and place our faith in God we never have to change to appease others.

There are two types of liberals.

One is trying to get all the fame, all the power, all the money, and not have to pay the price for anything to include things that the other part doesn’t get, like the best healthcare, the best toys, the best living quarters, the best travel capacity, and the right (?) to determine who does what in their lives for the second rate citizens, sheep. And only the sheep must follow the laws that are made for them by type 1’s.

The other type are the meek that let the feermongers do it through buying what they are selling and determining it is better for them because they are told so. And that includes conservatives that just sit back in fear of being embarrassed and what little toys they are allowed to have might be taken away. So really we are all possible liberals, if they let us be and we cower to do it. Just sheep.

Yep. The Luciferean’s doctrine to flip 2000 years of ethics back to the man/boy “love” slave orgy cultures (homosexual/HE/She goat god—sacred feminine culture) where Might makes Right.

One Mind Worldview for baby-sacrifice (killing) and blood sacrifice (killing whomever), and polygamy, and little boy and girl orgies, and torture are all “normalized” again (International UN/CIA billion dollar child/organ-sex trade). Virtue (Christianity) is banned and Vice is normalized in our current Vice System (unconstitutional).

Group-think totally controlled from the top sodomites (Lucifereans) who worships Set/Ba’al, Kali, Shiva, Isis, allah, Horus (any evil, irrational “god/dess). Back to the irrational, evil, pre-Christian “gods” for the One World Religion where Slavery is Freedom, Boys are Girls and all natural instincts are wiped out of the individual—plus free will (virtue) as Fichte planned in 1810.

Only Christian Classical worldview created the Age of Reason which brought Rule of Law (Higher Laws than irrational evil “laws”). There is no “Justice” system without the Christian Ethic. It is not possible since only Christianity created individual Natural Rights only from God.....never man or the state can “confer” “rights”. They only protect our God-given “rights” and that is ALL our government is supposed to do.

All collective ideologies treat human beings as a Means to an End (total Marxism) which is unconstitutional in America.

The Marxists have to destroy the concept in little children of Rule of Law (Higher Laws/God’s Laws) and erase it from their minds and ban it from all our schools, which was done in the 60s unconstitutionally.

They promote Satanism/Lucifereanism/Voodooism 24/7 in schools along with Ba’al Rits of sodomy and baby-killing to destroy virtue in children and warp their foundations (for life).

There is always a “faith” being promoted in skools but only Truth (Christianity was banned in 60s, so satanism, etc., could be embedded in young minds.)

Truth is not allowed ANYWHERE-—not even in the “news”. People are now beat up or fired for stating truth. But that has been controlled since the Lucifereans, Rothschild and Morgan bought up all the APs/Reuters, and publishing agencies and Hollywood. Our ideas were controlled and their satanism was marketed to created little ignorant, irrational consumers to make them wealthy and to willingly fight and die for their wars.

We live in an Orwellian world and it is for Mind Control of little children. This culture is designed to intentionally destroy Reason and Logic (the Soul) of mankind.

The “SYSTEM” has been intentionally destroying children since the evil communist John Dewey destroyed Classical Christian curricula for moral relativism (satanism).

The destruction of the family and the removal of children from parents at young ages was created by the godless Prussians, so the children can be warped and seduced since they can’t bond properly with adults who love them. They will not understand Truth (Reality/Natural Law) properly since they were raised in artificially controlled environments away from unstructured free play-free association. it is EVIL and WARPS children to be in dehumanizing systems devoid of logic and reason and Nature and the moral adults who should love them and be their role model-—not ignorant “peers”.

They are being WARPED by removal from Natural family, all desires PROGRAMMED by SCREENS AND artificial CONTROLLED environments to destroy Free Will and Individualism and virtue (inside control). ALWAYS OUTSIDE CONTROL SO AGENCY NEVER IS LEARNED and embedded!!!!!!!!!!!!! THEY WILL BE PROGRAMMED BOTS for the evil sodomites for life-—addicts, totall devoid of a mind (reason)—totally dehumanized, reduced to animal.

Think of what made America possible-—children NOT CONTROLLED EVERY SINGLE MINUTE BEING PROGRAMMED BY THE LUCIFEREAN”S SCREENS OR FACILITATORS (”teachers”). We are talking about BRAINWASHED MASSES in our “public skools” which NEED TO BE ABOLISHED so children’s minds are not destroyed, like now-—and all desires warped and twisted so they really believe that boys are girls and vice is virtue. They will be dehumanized, just cattle—incapable of using their minds. (Fichte Plan 1810 “Snow is Black” destroy Free Will to wipe out the Christian concepts so Satanism is the dominate religion again).

Vice is OUTER CONTROL which is slavery always. There is no freedom for brainwashed people. It is not possible. Cognitive Dissonance arises when they are exposed to the Truth and Objective Truth (Our Constitution/God). (Just as Yuri Bezmenov, ex-KGB, stated the Marxists where doing in American and European schools in early 1980s: We had several generations of brainwashed people in Europe and America. Socialists want total slavery of the virtuous and productive and rule by the Evil.

They have to destroy common sense and all Natural instincts in children, to destroy creativity and virtue formation for unnatural satanic emotions of “hate” for God, Nature, mankind (baby-kiling), etc. it is for their future dystopia which they “think” is a “utopia”. (It is for those that want orgies with the little boys again, like the Lucifereans are having in Hollywood (Milo/Feldman) and in Wash. DC/Franklin Cover-Up/CIA-run Boy-Sex ring). Vice only makes slaves.

And I believe AG Sessions could use this Same Exact Argument to Permanently Nullify ALL STATE GUN CONTROL LAWS for “interfering with interstate commerce”

Ah but try figuring out the difference between a “modern” liberal, progressive and Democratic Socialist. Classical liberalism, by the way, is unrelated.

Sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference since they think the same way. Or don’t think.
