Maybe he meant to say "communist spirit" instead of "community spirit".

"Liberals stand for tolerance, magnanimity, community spirit, the defense of the weak against the powerful, love of learning...

Love of "learning"? Where might we find that among liberals in postmodern America? I guess he has an ironic sense of humor and self-satire.

Or...just another liberal dork offering a godless sermon.

Conservatives should nail the socialists to the wall with rusty iron spikes every time they dare say that they're in favour of "community spirit" - conservatives believe in a moral society, and that charity should begin at home. Socialists believe you should be forced to do so, since they're more moral people they have the right to force you to do it and they'll administer it, thank you very much.

Regards, Ivan

"Liberals stand for tolerance, magnanimity, community spirit, the defense of the weak against the powerful, love of learning, all American values worth conserving..."

I sort of doubt that. I doubt modern American liberals even know what "magnanimity" means. You have to read the ethical writings of Aristotle, Cicero, and Thomas Aquinas to understand that intelligently. These are banned writers in institutions controlled by liberals (i.e., they are Dead White Western Males - "conservatives").

but when it comes right down to it, you do not want them to be monitoring your oxygen tube or running your child's school.

This has to be the stupidest statement ever from a liberal.

Answer: Yes! Liberals want doctor assisted suicide, conservatives believe in life. Please have a conservative monitoring my oxygen tube!

Liberals believe it is better for a student to feel good about himself. Conservatives want students to read and write well. Please have a conservative teaching my kids... oh wait, one is. I home school (an other thing liberals don't believe in, can't instill their Marxist propaganda in my kids).

George W. Bush will be reelected by a margin of at least ten per cent

Egads, is that really his head?

Looks like mommy left him in the E-Z bake oven too long.

Or maybe some of those eeevil Republicans did some stick-time on his noggin.
