This idiot (artist) thinks he's talking about liberal ideas, while he is countering everything liberals are working for:

Your wrong. Remember, free expression and the right to offend and outrage people is the domain of liberals. Conservatives are NOT allowed to do it, and they are even less allowed to complain about it when they are offended of outraged, because to do so would be an infringement upon and censorship of free expression.

kerry, testimony before Congress, 22 April, 1971, kerry says, "I have been to Paris. I have talked with both delegations at the peace talks, that is to say the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and the Provisional Revolutionary Government,...."*(not on any authorised mission by the U.S. Government or by the U.S. military, kerry and his VVAW group meets and negotiates with the then enemy).

*excerpted from the Official U.S. Congressional Record dated 22 April, 1971.


"revamp the U.S. military", read as kerry's plan to PURGE the U.S. Military of Pro U.S. Military Veterans and Republicans, make it totally dependant on U.N. forces support for any significant achievement capable military(similar to france,germany, etc.), Turn home based U.S. Armed Forces, Intelligence agencies and Law Enforcement agencies into the democratic party's{including CPUSA and DSA} Praetorian Guard!!!!


kerry stabbed U.S. in the back continually since his return from Viet Nam. How much more backstabbing from this 22 April, 1971 testimony(self confessed traitor) before Congress that he(kerry) met with the then enemy in Paris, are we supposed to stand????

These essays collectively form one of the finest arguments for civil war should these maniacs somehow gain control of our country. We have thousands of streetlights in this land and I can think of no higher purpose for them than to utilize them for the lengthening of liberal necks. No one would argue the wisdom of killing Nazis in 1929 were it possible. How many Americans must die at the hands of these fools before we destroy them? I must say that I often wonder if we should let them take over, at least for a while, to galvanize the rest of America in steeping up from their sofa and the TV to pick up a rifle...

Terkel writes, "I suggest that the chair of the gathering should immediately read to the delegates the dictionary definition of "liberal": (1) expressing social and political policies that favor progress and reform; (2) following policies that favor the freedom of individuals to act or express themselves in a manner of their own choosing--in short, a reaffirmation of FDR's New Deal. "

At one time, liberalism represented freedom of the individual, individual rights, small government, low taxes, the exportation of democracy; and liberals were fiercely anti-communist. Was this not JFK's platform?

Allow me to quote Nobel Prize winner Milton Friedman from his introduction to F.A. Hayek's Book, "The Road to Serfdom". It is more lengthy than I would like for posting purposes, but it blew me away and provided much clarity.

He writes, "I use the term "liberal" in the original, nineteenth-century sense in which it is still current in Britain. In current American usage it often means very nearly the opposite of this. It has been part of the camouflage of the leftish movements in this country, helped by the muddleheadedness of many who really believe in liberty, that "liberal" has come to mean the advocacy of almost every kind of government control. I am still puzzled why those in the United States who truly believe in liberty should not only have allowed the left to appropriate this almost indispensable term but should even have assisted by begging to use it themselves as a term of opprobrium. This seems particularly regrettable because of the consequent tendency of many true liberals to describe themselves as conservatives."

The real dilemma to traditional American attitude of liberalism" began in the 60's with the leftist redefinition of the term "liberal". Add to that, those that came of age in the 60's began to teach my generation and the generations that followed it, the ideology of the "new" liberals.

All they are is, just dumb bricks in the Democrat wall.

I have not met one person who came from a country with socialized medicine that has been happy with it. It defies common sense for those that understand the laws of Economics.

Our court system must not be the battleground for a holy war. Our current system has led to unbalanced treatment of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered individuals. It has also proved unfair to women, leaving out choice in the matter of reproductive rights

What planet has she been living on lately? The courts have been doing just the opposite. Typical democrat, lying through her welfare bought teeth.

This is what the Democrat party is all about:

(Boston) Delegates to the Democratic National Convention this week will be asked to endorse the party's most pro gay platform ever, but one which stops short of supporting gay marriage.

But, while it does not call for equal marriage rights, it does not oppose the idea either.

"We support full inclusion of gay and lesbian families in the life of our nation and seek equal responsibilities, benefits, and protections for these families," the draft platform that was worked out earlier this month. (story)

The draft also condemns amending the US Constitution to ban gay marriage.

"In our country, marriage has been defined at the state level for 200 years, and we believe it should continue to be defined there."

The draft platform calls for support of including gays and lesbians in hate crimes legislation.

"Hate crimes desecrate sacred spaces and demean good people, and we support a strong national law to punish them."

And, it calls for protections for gay and lesbian workers.

"We will enact the bipartisan legislation barring workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation."

The draft also calls for reform of the nations intelligence apparatus, treating the nuclear materials that make bombs like they are bombs, and seeking broader international support for stabilizing Iraq.

“I think it’s one of the best platforms the party has ever had,” said DNC Chairman Terry McAuliffe said at a press conference.
