Why Liberalism Must Be Expunged.

[P@triot]

My position is, and always has been, Conservatism has not always meant Republican and Liberalism has not always meant Democrat.

Yes it has. Unfortunately we're forced to vote for candidates that are not as conservative or progressive as our side would like, but Republican has always been conservative and Dumbocrat has always been progressive.

 

[PoliticalChic]

Are you two both suffering from the same malady?

My position is, and always has been, Conservatism has not always meant Republican and Liberalism has not always meant Democrat.

Let me put it yet another way. Conservatives have not always been Republican. Liberals have not always been Democrats.

Conservative Democrats have been in the party since Lincoln, as Lincoln was a Republican.

Liberals were in the Republican Party since Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt and through the LBJ Administration.

History shows us, had you ever studied it, that ideology and party identity are in flux.

The defining characteristics of conservative: individualism, free markets and limited constitutional government.

And you say.....what???

I can't begin to tell you how pleased I am that you've asked.

Liberalism and every totalitarian themed government is based on:
the collective, command and control regulation of private industry, and overarching government that can order every aspect of the private citizen's life....right down to control of his thoughts and speech.



Now....a graphic quiz:
There's one conservative in this sea of Liberals.
See if you can find him.

I don't know that MacArthur is an idiot but was surely a conservative and a Republican and he said this: "For the framers of the Constitution were the most liberal thinkers of all the ages and the charter they produced out of the liberal revolution of their time has never been and is not now surpassed in liberal thought,"

It's astounding how utterly ignorant you are.

Liberal, as in the Founders, meant what conservative means today.

Classical liberal.



Communist John Dewey had the Socialist Party change their name to 'Liberal,' as in Modern Liberal...you.

"...[John] Dewey arguably did more than any other reformer to repackage progressive social theory in a way that obscured just how radically its principles departed from those of the American founding.

Like Ely and many of his fellow progressive academics, Dewey initially embraced the term “socialism” to describe his social theory. Only after realizing how damaging the name was to the socialist cause did he, like other progressives, begin to avoid it. In the early 1930s, accordingly, Dewey begged the Socialist party, of which he was a longtime member, to change its name. “The greatest handicap from which special measures favored by the Socialists suffer,” Dewey declared, “is that they are advanced by the Socialist party as Socialism. The prejudice against the name may be a regrettable prejudice but its influence is so powerful that it is much more reasonable to imagine all but the most dogmatic Socialists joining a new party than to imagine any considerable part of the American people going over to them.” Dewey’s influential 1935 tract, Liberalism and Social Action, should be read in the light of this."

I'm a very ex-liberal who left the Democrap party when Obama turned it into America's most black-supremacist hate group, whose only language is violence, death-threats and a diet of muslim semen. I have never seen more loathsome, bloodthirsty, America-hating, violently white-hating treason than these unhinged, clinically psychotic liberal filth (YES, God help me, I find their behavior even WORSE than the muslim inbreds they fellate). Utterly the most malicious, predatory testaments to everything mankind has ever done wrong. Liberals are also the ultimate Neo-Nazis who spread their butt cheeks for the most praised-by-Hitler, mass-Jew-beheading hate ideology in history; muslims have been massacring Jews since their pedo-prophet Mohammed bragged about beheading 600 Jewish prisoners in one day. Liberals are so morally degenerate, I've never seen a group of people go through so many mental gymnastics to jusify all the rape, murder and human rights atrocities that form a wake around this religion everywhere it has ever gone! And liberals' psychopath obsession of destroying anyone who doesn't go along with their treason.

Some folks actually believe in a black and white world. A world without distinctions, nuance and multiplicity of thought. The OP is such a person. She actually believes that Liberalism equals Marxism. It's tough to understand why, but there it is.

The OP also claims to be proAmerican. All the while calling for a purge of any political ideology she finds has strayed fro the orthodoxy of her peculiar beliefs. Mind boggling, ain't it?

Should such myopic people be taken seriously? Only as case studies for those with either ego issues or the inability to learn and adapt to her social surroundings. Pity her, but take her with a fifty pound bag of rock salt.

Ha ha. Lefties create worlds without distinction, Snowflake. The American idea of equality - that human beings are equal merely by virtue of birth - fostered diversity unmatched in world history.

That you utopian dreamers would purge our traditions and institutions of their natural-law origins speaks only of your reactionary petulance and the gullibility you lavish on your "leaders."

Are you two both suffering from the same malady?

My position is, and always has been, Conservatism has not always meant Republican and Liberalism has not always meant Democrat.

Let me put it yet another way. Conservatives have not always been Republican. Liberals have not always been Democrats.

Conservative Democrats have been in the party since Lincoln, as Lincoln was a Republican.

Liberals were in the Republican Party since Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt and through the LBJ Administration.

History shows us, had you ever studied it, that ideology and party identity are in flux.

The defining characteristics of conservative: individualism, free markets and limited constitutional government.

And you say.....what???

Flip to any news channel in the past three years, and you can almost be certain to see any number of Republican governors, blustering about how Washington spends too much money and how they'd never spend that much money if they were President. It's a lot of tough talk, really. But is there any truth to it?
Well, all of this tough budget talk from Republicans got me thinking about the central: who really benefits from government spending? If you listen to Rush Limbaugh, you might think it was those blue states, packed with damn hippie socialist liberals, sipping their lattes and providing free abortions for bored, horny teenagers.

The truth? Not so fast, Michele Bachmann.

As it turns out, it is red states that are overwhelmingly the Welfare Queen States. Yes, that's right. Red States — the ones governed by folks who think government is too big and spending needs to be cut — are a net drain on the economy, taking in more federal spending than they pay out in federal taxes. They talk a good game, but stick Blue States with the bill.

Take a look at the difference between federal spending on any given state and the federal taxes received from that state. We measure the difference as a dollar amount: Federal Spending per Dollar of Federal Taxes. A figure of $1.00 means that particular state received as much as it paid in to the federal government. Anything over a dollar means the state received more than it paid; anything less than $1.00 means the state paid more in taxes than it received in services. The higher the figure, the more a given state is a welfare queen.

Of the twenty worst states, 16 are either Republican dominated or conservative states. Let's go through the top twenty.

• New Mexico: $2.03
• Mississippi: $2.02
• Alaska: $1.84
• Louisiana: $1.78
• West Virginia: $1.76
• North Dakota: $1.68
• Alabama: $1.66
• South Dakota: $1.53
• Kentucky: $1.51
• Virginia: $1.51
• Montana: $1.47
• Hawaii: $1.44
• Maine: $1.41
• Arkansas: $1.41
• Oklahoma: $1.36
• South Carolina: $1.35
• Missouri: $1.32
• Maryland: $1.30
• Tennessee: $1.27
• Idaho: $1.21

Does anyone else notice the overwhelming presence of northern "rugged individualist" states, like Alaska, the Dakotas and Montana, along with most of the South? Why it's almost like there's a pattern here or something.

Where can we find liberal bastions California, New York, and Massachusetts? California is 43rd, getting back only $0.78 for every dollar it sends to Washington. New York is 42nd, and one penny better off, at $0.79 per dollar. Massachusetts is 40th, receiving $0.82 for every dollar it sends to DC.

Go ahead and bookmark this article. The next time some smarmy teabagger tries to tell you it's liberals who are ruining the country and spending us into oblivion, kindly point them to the evidence that shows it is GOP states, not Democrat states, who are Welfare Queens. It is GOP states who spend more than they collect in taxes. It is GOP states who are out of balance, nationally.

See if they still want to cut off funding when it means no more socialism for slave states.

Red States Are Welfare Queens

I have a shorter article that is far more indicative:


"His presidency will end with Democrats in possession of 11 fewer Senate seats (depending on how you count), more than 60 fewer House seats, at least 14 fewer governorships and more than 900 fewer seats in state legislatures than when it began. That’s a staggering toll."
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/13/o...est&contentPlacement=1&pgtype=collection&_r=0


The people have spoken......all of 'em.




Oh....and BTW.....Red states are Democrat/Liberal/Progressive.

Red is traditionally associated with socialism and communism. The oldest symbol of socialism (and, by extension, communism) is the Red Flag, which dates back to the revolutions of 1848. The colour red was chosen to represent the blood of the workers who died in the struggle against capitalism. All major socialist and communist alliances and organisations – including the First, Second, and Third Internationals – used red as their official colour. The association between the colour red and communism is particularly strong. Communists use red much more often and more extensively than other ideologies use their respective traditional colours.
 In Europe and Latin America, red is also associated with parties of social democracy, and often their allies within the labour movement. Sometimes these parties use pink instead, as a "moderate" colour instead of the more "radical" red.
 In the United States, since the year 2000, the mass media have associated red with the Republican Party, despite the fact that the Republican Party is a conservative-leaning party. Since at least 2010, the party has adopted an all red logo.
