My point is that the Left has hijacked the term "liberal" to describe their totally un-liberal socialist agenda. America was founded as a "liberal" country in the true sense of the word. Madison, Jefferson, et al. were "liberals".

Amen. Just consider: how often does the media make references to "right-wing" as if no corresponding "left-wing" views exist in America? In their lexicon, there is: right-wing, extreme right-wing, conservative, moderate, independent, and liberal. There is no left in American politics, if you read their reports.

Another trick the media pulls is when they show a clip from a foriegn country, usually a riot, or something wacky in their governmnetal body, and label the violence or wackiness as the right-wing of that countrys government. Then immediately they would show something our congress is doing and label it the Republican or right led Republicans. Giving the impression to many nitwits - and there are many - that both are the same.

Another trick is Brokaw's FLEECING OF AMERICA which he started, I believe, after the Republicans took control of the House and Senate. He would show some government action that is wasting millions of dollars and state it was passed by Congress. Failing to mention it was passed by Congress 10/20/30 years ago whent the Dems were in charge. Then he would show something the Republicans in Congress would want to do.

Sometimes it is subtle, sometimes it smacks you right across the face.
