How EVIL is liberalism anyway?

[rightwinger]

Why, it's so evil it created this country.

Say, do you still believe "liberal" and "conservtive" refer to "what size the government is"? Remember that shit? That was hilarious. Like a hat size.

Quit trying to pretend your ilk is the same as a 19th century liberals. You're far closer to the men who instigated the Russian Revolution than the ones who presided over the American Revolution.

Why would we be the same as 19th century liberals?

They supported slavery, no rights for women, no vote for the common man

Liberals fix what they can and the next generation of liberals takes on the next challenge

Then why do you keep trying to claim some kind of connection with 19th Century liberals? As I said, your ideological forebears are the instigators of the Russian Revolution, not the American Revolution.

Because the were the most outstanding Liberals of their time
Liberals took what they accomplished and abolished slavery, gave women the vote, worker rights, civil rights

There is a long proud history of liberalism in this country.... Can't think of a single thing conservatives did for us

Modern "liberals" are indistinguishable from communists. You aren't liberals in the original sense of the word. You're Stalinists.

Liberal Commie

Been playing that tune for 70 years.....nobody buys it outside of rightwing nut jobs stuck in the 50s

The smug style in American liberalism

There is a smug style in American liberalism. It has been growing these past decades. It is a way of conducting politics, predicated on the belief that American life is not divided by moral difference or policy divergence — not really — but by the failure of half the country to know what's good for them.

In 2016, the smug style has found expression in media and in policy, in the attitudes of liberals both visible and private, providing a foundational set of assumptions above which a great number of liberals comport their understanding of the world.

It has led an American ideology hitherto responsible for a great share of the good accomplished over the past century of our political life to a posture of reaction and disrespect: a condescending, defensive sneer toward any person or movement outside of its consensus, dressed up as a monopoly on reason.

The smug style in American liberalism

I've really only seen that on one mug--Clinton, every goddamned day. She's the poster child of Smug. The rest of the liberals I see and hear are no more smug and self righteous than the conservatives, who are equally insulting toward those who don't agree with them.

Okay, you win that one. He is an arrogant guy. But it doesn't apply to all liberals. Any more than all Republicans necessarily share the attributes of Trump. Or Kasich. Or whomever.

Name them and prove it.

No she doesn't "win that one"; she simply posts a picture to serve her self-serving point, devoid of any context whatsoever. We have no clue what the expression's about; it could have been a picture of anybody anywhere. It's the old Eliminationist ploy of personalize, demonize and polarize.

 

[NYcarbineer]

I have long been acquainted with liberalism and use to find them kind of adorable in a naive, idealistic, immature, yapping lapdog kind of way, bitching about freedom, hating the U.S. Constitution, and insisting that whatever anyone else had they somehow deserved at least half of, if not more.

Well, now we have a blend of liberalism and communism that many people confuse with 'true' liberalism, but it is NOT liberalism. For instance, John F. Kennedy was adamant that lowering taxes was the only way to get a stagnant economy back on track. In addition, he famously stated in a speech "ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country". However, anybody today who express those John F. Kennedy liberal views is labeled by the left as "radical". Radical. It is "radical" in the minds of the modern day unhinged lefties to lower taxes or ask people to sacrifice for their country, rather than the country sacrificing everything for them. It is the putrid ideology from the mind of an evil avowed atheist escapee from the Soviet Union who had no use for love or charity or God. All modern day liberals want is rampant sexual deviance, the total destruction of a civilized society, and the permanent destruction of God. The deepest thought they are capable of producing is simpleton and irrational arguments for why they don't have to produce but have every right to be a parasite to society.

Modern day liberals have been completely exposed for the loveless and evil bitches that they are deep in their dark and disturbing souls. None of them will share what they have. None. Place a liberal on a polygraph and ask if they ever paid for the health insurance policy for an uninsured child and the answer will unequivocally be a resounding "no" each and every time. Likewise, ask them if they ever went without a meal to ensure that their fellow man had a hot meal, and once again the answer will unequivocally be a resounding "no" each and every time. Yet they will sit all day in a forum (such as USMB), refusing to work, refusing to hold a job and be a productive member of society, pretending to care sooo deeply about their fellow man. But as history has already proven and many have pointed out - the modern day liberal is quite generous with someone else's money. When it comes to their own, they won't share a damn thing.

Today's modern day liberal sells communism under the guise of liberalism - and it is not only rotting liberalism from the inside, like a cancer, but it's doing the same thing to America. $19 trillion in debt (on the verge of collapse). More people on food stamps than any time in U.S. history. Detroit - under total Democrat rule (both mayor and city council) for 60 years and now bankrupt. Just like the U.S.S.R. before, ignorant left-wing policy is collapsing the country, creating decay, dilapidation, poverty, and misery.

The take over of the Democrat Party movement by socialists/marxists/communists is a real disaster for the America as we enter a new age of technology in which jobs can easily and quickly be moved overseas because of ignorant liberal policies creating taxes and regulations too costly to keep the jobs here in America. Liberals pretend to care for other Americans, but at the end of the day, focus on brining everyone down into poverty because they are envious of anyone who has more than they do or does better than they do. It has never been about others for them - it has always been envy driving them to undermine and harm their fellow man.

America, if she is to survive, must find a way to shed itself of these useless evil parasites that are a pimple on America's ass or the America will die the well deserved death of wicked heresies ($19 trillion in debt and massive loss of freedoms because of communist liberalism has proven as much).

Name some Marxists in the Democratic Party, and prove they are Marxists,

keeping in mind that Marxism seeks to eliminate all private property and business.

Comon, RW'ers, let's add to this list!

I can't believe you're stuck at ZERO, given all your hysterical insistence that the Democratic Party is filled with Marxists.

Interesting.

They claim Democrats are Communists,

but the people who make that accusation can't name any Democrats who are Communists.

JFK was the most liberal president we've had since FDR, your mythology notwithstanding.

What "mythology"? Are you going to deny what I said about JFK was true? I dare you. Please? I mean, the one quote is just from his most famous speech ever that even your average third grader knows and the other one there are tons of audio on that I can post.

JFK would be completely and totally ashamed of the modern Democrat Party. All you people ever do is selfishly ask what this nation can do for you (give me food, give me housing, give me healthcare). There was no government healthcare during JFK's presidency. Not even Medicare or Medicaid. Did he stand up and say "we need to give people healthcare" like the idiot Obama did? Nope. He said "stop being a bunch of sniveling babies demanding shit and start making sacrifices for the U.S.". And therein is the glaring proof of how radicalized and unhinged liberals have become. They won't sacrifice shit for their country. They are a bunch of selfish, self-absorbed parasites always demanding that everyone else provide for them not matter what it costs or what it does to the country.

When is the last time conservatives won a major victory in advancing the conservative agenda?

 

[Dragonlady]

JFK's "Ask not what your country can do for you" speech is always misquoted by conservatives. He was asking the youth of his country to give public service to their country, rather than to exploit their university degrees for money. He created the Peace Corps, where the best and the brightest worked for peanuts in Third World Countries.

Don't try to pretend that JFK was any kind of conservative, just because he wanted to lower taxes. Don't forget that the Civil Rights Act, which LBJ pushed through and signed, was originally proposed by JFK.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy inspired young liberals all over the world. I was one of them. His speeches on fairness and justice inspired a whole generation of young people. I can understand conservatives want to claim him, but everything you hate about America today, started with JFK.

Again....fall down hilarious.

Republican's lead the Civil Rights movement - Democrats vehemently opposed it. Republican's lead abolishment of slavery - Democrats vehemently opposed it.

Hell, to this day you can't let go of slavery left-winger. You still want me to be forced against my will to labor for your benefit simply because you're too lazy to get a job and work for yourself (just like the rest of your pals on the left).

And "Gay Rights"? What the hell is that? When were homosexuals ever denied their rights? Are you aware of a homosexual that didn't have free speech? Couldn't vote? Wasn't permitted to carry a firearm? Unable to worship?

Nobody can make shit up like left-winger

Another moron unable to differentiate between liberals/conservative and Democrats/Republicans

Another moron who thinks every liberal was a Republican and every conservative was a Democrat, and then suddenly everyone just agreed to switch parties

Wait...it gets better

You actually had conservative Democrats and Republicans in the South and liberal democrats and republicans in the north

What a concept huh?

What’s sad and telling is that during the 50s and 60s, before the advent of the bane of the social right and religious fundamentalism, many of the liberals who fought to defend the rights of Americans were republicans, such as Chief Justice Warren.

That's a bizarre statement to say the least. "Before the advent of religious fundamentalism". Uh....that existed thousands of years ago my friend. It's people like you with the advent of "man is God, God does not exist" that have tried to drive out religion.

Religious fundamentalism like cancer is thousands of years old and just as deadly.

There is no evidence that God exists.
There are mountains of evidence suggesting that man did indeed invent god.

SASSYIRISHLASS SAID:

“Too bad you've never accomplished that.”

Nonsense.

We see examples of conservatives being proven wrong on a daily basis on this very forum, such as your fellow rightwing nitwit’s thread comparing entertainers canceling shows in North Carolina to public accommodations laws – yet another rightwing thread that failed as a false comparison fallacy, yet another conservative proven wrong.
