*nod* — I hear you loud and clear.

Because of the minority control in elected-offices/judiciary/education/media/etc I think it might be wise to re-evaluate our presentation of ourselves and our platform. One thing that I think is particularly damaging are the words Liberal and Conservative used as political descriptors. the reason being that they change meaning depending on who you're talking to, and all the definitions are completely valid; example:

Sees Liberal as Sees Conservative as
Liberal of, pertaining to, based on, or advocating liberalism, especially the freedom of the individual and governmental guarantees of individual rights and liberties. disposed to preserve existing conditions, institutions, etc.
Conservative advocating measures of progressive political reform, embracing collectivism and statism. disposed to restore traditional/founding principles.
Because of the bent of common education, I think it would do good to re-frame our arguments in commonly held values, like justice: even most people who have a liberal language-filter will agree that the injustice of the NSA's domestic espionage or IRS's political targeting ought to be redressed.

Where did you get that dumb table from? Did it come from a dumbed down school textbook? The outrageous part is the upper left quadrant, where the liberal individual sees liberalism is association with "the freedom of the individual and governmental guarantees of individual rights and liberties."

Anyone who sees Obamacare, for example, as promoting such values is obviously a total ignoramus! That's why the party of the "liberal" is appropriarely called the Dummycrat Party here.

As to the O'Keefe video, it provides enough evidence to show that the 'Rat operatives encouraging a non-citizen to vote are committing a felony under the NC statute. Where is law enforcement? What are they scared of? The perps on the video should be arrested and charged forthwith, whether they are male or female, white or black. Just a few well-publicized arrests should go a long way to keeping non-citizens away from the polls and keeping 'Rat hacks from promoting their illegal entrance into the American election system. It's called a deterrent effect.
