Why is everything SHOCKING all of a sudden?
Why is everything SHOCKING all of a sudden?
Was this a thread for serious political debate? I mean I am beginning to think it is not, as you can tell from the advertisement at the right of the "Right-Wing Underground blogspot" (which is using a liberal phrase for a conservative purpose)
look at the book they are selling! Amazon.com: Scam: The Liberal Misinformation Machine and its War on America: Robert Moon: Books
"Scam: The Liberal Misinformation Machine and its War on America (Paperback)"
the Liberals war on America?
It was a bunch of looney liberals who founded America....

You're thinking of classic liberalism, which is probably the farthest thing from modern liberalism as you can get.
I think that modern liberalism continues the same spirit as classic liberalism.
Classic liberalism is a doctrine stressing individual freedom, free markets, and limited government. This includes the importance of human rationality, individual property rights, natural rights, the protection of civil liberties, individual freedom from restraint, equality under the law, constitutional limitation of government, free markets, and a gold standard to place fiscal constraints on government.
Classical liberalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I vehemently disagree.
I think you are confusing Liberalism with the Democratic Party agenda.
I vehemently disagree.
I disagree as well (not to you, but the fella you're quoting).
American politics is all on the Classical Liberal scale. No body, for the most part, in America refutes natural freedoms and a proponent for an oppressive regime to protect us from... our neighbors (as Hobbes would suggest)
In America it is just a matter of when and where the Government can interfere.
Then pray tell, kind sir, where are these mythical liberals you speak of? You know, the ones who are not Democrats and advocate free-market economics and limited government? I've searched thither and yon to find these noble beasts yet they elude me in my endeavors. Help me, wise sage!
I'm shocked that you don't know. :shock:
I'd be shocked if Rush wasn't using this buzzword this week.
That or it has to do with cops tazering crying suspects. :mrgreen:
Overall, 61% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President’s performance so far while 37% disapprove. The President’s overall approval rating has been remarkably steady since inauguration day, staying between 60% and 62% every day but three. Once it slipped a point below that range and twice it went a point above.

My stocks are a long term investment. They will remain there untill I retire. Whatever I've got then is icing on the cake baby!
Oh, and about Obama. Yeah, ya think? Our country thrives on drama. If the presidents ratings are to reflect anything like the average americans opinions, it will change CONSTANTLY.
