Actually, I believe liberalism to be schizophrenia....you can have "CHOICE" in only what they want you to choose, they are the biggest hypocrates in the world...It's like split personality politics...
As the band Devo said - they don't want "freedom of choice" - they want "freedom from choice" - and freedom from responsability. That is the freedom they really want - and they want to take mine with them.
Let me tell ya a recent story...
I live in the liberalist enclave known to man...Marin County. We are chocked full of whacko leftists tree huggin baby killing bastages...
Around this neck of the woods, the coming disarmament of Sadam is not a popular idea at all. In fact about 1 of every 10 cars is sporting a big Yellow bumber sticker that shrieks:
NO WAR ON IRAQ
Well being on of the voices or reason in this county, I took it upon myself to grab hold of several of these stickers from my liberal friends (unfortunatley I cant find any conservative friends). I promptly set about cutting of the NO so as to make a sticker that said:
WAR ON IRAQ
Within 24 hours of application the sticker was removed by a leftist pig...right in front of my home/office!
Being a determined individual I put another sticker on right away and set up a video camera...
That evening a neighbor was returning a pop gun I lent him for halloween. He told me that someone had just taken the sticker off again and gone around the corner...
The long and short of it was that he got an earful. I got right in his face and basically scared the crap out of him: told him he was as bad as any terrorist, that the speach is right owned by all no matter the opinion, that I would be willing to die to perserve his right to voice an opinion that was against my willingness to die for that very freedom,and of course: So its free speach as long its your speach?, etc etc etc...
Basically I tried to make him feel like a piece of low life trash, hypocrit, opressive pig...I think I succeeded
To top it off, the manager of the Bike Shop he worked for around the corner heard all of this and came out to tell me to calm down. I explained what this weasel did and what I thought of him and his ilk...
And here is the coup de gras...the Manager said: "I take full responsibility for what happened". I went ballistic again...running on how individuals pay for their freedom by assuming responsibility for thier action...yada yada yada...
I have always enjoyed a great relatsionship with the Bike shop folks, being an avid cyclist. I have basically policed their back lot clean of the vagrants who would drift in at night and try to set up camp in the Bike boxes. On numerous occasions , I have urged them in no uncertain terms, that they were Un-Welcome here...late at night, Big Mag light cop like attitude...etc etc...So the manager was especially apologetic...I was an asset to him and he was bummed out about what happened.
Then the manager said: Look dude, I am all for taking Sadam out...My brother in law is an Air Force Pilot and has been flying in Irag for the last Year...I want them to take that sone of a bitch out!...A wry smile washed over my face....
The most amusing reaction from this proclamation came from the three lefty bike shop employees (culprit included)...their jaw just about dropped and a seeming sense of relief came over the bike shop manager...as if he had just come out of the closet...They were standing behind him so he didn't see their expressions...he he ...
In the end I offered the culprit a beer and we sat and talked at length...we agreed to disagree, and found that in one regard we had a consisten political philosophy...we hated big government...
The third sticker has not been removed.
