On balance, the Democrats are now the party of freedom and liberty.

"War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, and Ignorance is Strength".

Got it...

“On balance, the Democrats are now the party of freedom and liberty.”

Yes, ask the Christians, the Southerners, the small business owners, conservatives in colleges - they feel totally liberated, I’m sure.

[Art.] How did this happen?

In your libtard imagination, moron.

Freedom to sodomize little boys on the high altar of St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York?

Freedom to fellate each other in public parks and beach areas?

Yeah, that's freedom, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were all about that.

“On balance, the Democrats are now the party of freedom and liberty.”

As they hold a gun to a preacher’s head, forcing him to marry some homosexual couple, yelling at him, saying, “You effin’ bigot.”

Yup, that’s freedom. That’s class. That’s love.

Not.

Empty libhole demonicrats have truly lost it.

This has been going on since 1928, ever since the Democrats figured that in future all they needed was the big-city mobs and machines. They walked away from the South. There were a lot of issues like lynching and Jim Crow that helped drive the Dems away from the Southern populists ..... but most of all it was northern liberal Media and its drift to the left, as more and more socialist-leaning J-school grads began driving the whole institution to the left (with NKVD/KGB infiltration of the J-schools helping), that gradually demonized the whole South (and heterosexuals, and conservative Catholics, and .... well, who ya got? Dick Nixon?).

I’d be more interested in Peter Weber explaining the difference between the new democrat and the old communist.

Taking away Christian Freedom is the Marxist definition of liberty.

[Article] In 1976, the GOP platform said the party was split on the issue of abortion rights, calling it "undoubtedly a moral and personal issue," Fisher noted at The Washington Post.

Classic liberal/Prog compo-lie-sition. Notice the switcheroo? The writer pretends to source the GOP 1976 platform (written by Big East GOP-E's), but quickly pivots and quotes his liberal puke doing spin tricks over at the WaPo.

Then he uses that as support for a general calumny against "social conservatives", who are totally not in either the platform's writing or the snarkfest at the WaPo.

Classic. Lie about people, quote other people, and then pretend you've supported your statement.

Because nothing says “liberty” like sticking your Johnson up some little boy’s anus.

So here’s what tips the balance for me. When you look at the freedoms Republicans proffer, they tend to be economic, often favoring businesses or individual material needs. Money and guns are a type of freedom, but they pale compared to personal liberty, like marrying the person you love or trusting that police officers can’t harass or harm you with impunity because of the color of your skin.

To put it another way, Democrats want to let you be the person you are and Republicans want to get the government out of your wallet.

I find it fascinating how people can define freedom in such different ways. This whole right v left thinking .... so different .... and neither side understands *why* the other side believes what they believe.

I also find it interesting and scary how the pendulum swings in what I view a fairly quick amount of time. From same sex relations and Obamacare ... the American public is proving to be quite fickle in what they *say* they believe.

The Democrat candidates should take this time of achieving liberty topromise that the VP nomination will be LGBTQ.
