I thought I pass this idea by my fellow Freepers to see if it’s good idea or if we could come up with a better term.

[The Brush]

A repeat offender liberal

A rebound liberal

[thoughtomator]

"Yellow Streak Democrats"

[Sir Charles]

Arsoncrats.

[jla]

Swarzeneggers

[Arrowhead1952]

In other words they are fleeing the inevitable results of their own Liberal Politics.

In Texas, we have state senators that flee the state to New Mexico, and call them Chickens on the run. Sarcasm intended! How about "ChickenRats" for them?

[Redwood71]

How about Ground Hog DemocRATS They leave when they see anybody's shadow.

I think this could be a very fun thread.......... any ideas for this one?

[andy58-in-nh]

You know, that's an excellent suggestion. Here in Southern NH, we have, in recent years, been invaded by many former Massachusetts residents. Some, like me, left to escape Liberalism, not to relocate it. Others, though....

What to call them, then? I'll begin with one suggestion and then wait to see how the fertile minds of my fellow Freepers fare:

Let's call them: Migrant Marxists.

I've always hated the term "liberal" in modern usage because you constantly have to go through all these gymnastics because it's totally different from the classical use of the term in political science (in which a liberal is a good thing) and also the usage in describing foreign countries like Iran, etc.

It was some combination of Reagan and Limbaugh that really popularized the term, and while I like both, I really wish it would go away. Clearly a hopeless battle.

But I always use the term "leftist" or "the left" which is a far more accurate description. Sadly there's no way the media would ever describe any US politician as a leftist.

Though it would be fun to 'name' them ... I think socialist is most fitting and worthy of the serious threat(s) they are to America.

[jocon307]

There has been a phrase for those folks for quite a while:

Limosine Liberal.

I suppose you could call them limosine democrats if you like.

[Steel Wolf]

'Liberal Locusts'

[Consort]

Self-made Victims (who cite themselves as examples of victims).

[knarf]

While I'm at it ...

If we are right, they are wrong .... not left.

[SamAdams76]

Here in New England, we call them "limousine liberals".

[squidly]

Some possibilities:

Missionary liberal

Migrant liberal

Liberal on the run (or OTR Liberal)

Liberal Cancer

Henry Waxman Democrat (as opposed to Scoop Jackson Democrat)

Dr. Spock's children

[Poincare]

Bedwetters.

They foul their own nests, for themselves and others.

[Gumption]

The old Ratt song comes to mind.

... round and round, what goes around comes around ...

I'm just not cleaver enough to put it together.

[Walkingfeather]

ENSLAVEMENT DEMOCRAT
