Why is "liberal" such a bad word?
"We need your help to counteract the liberal establishment and fight back against the New York Times by making an immediate contribution today,†the e-mail also said in text that links to an online contribution form on the McCain campaign’s website.

Why are the Republicans so afraid of liberalism? Heck, you have a "Statue of Liberty". So why is it they can use that word and make it a curse word? I don't understand it.

If the word liberal was still used in the classical meaning of the word, you moonbats would be the ones hating it. But today it means marxist.

1. Because the right wing fascist have to have talk shows to tell them what to think
That gives the talking heads the opportunity to define liberal without anyone countering the claims they make.
I guess it comes down to the fact that we can think for ourselves.

8. It is always amazing to me
that the Republicans are allowed to have the freedom of speech but are defying it the Democrats "I have the right to say so and so but you don't" Strange thinking.

2. It's Only A Bad Word If You Play Their Games
Most GOOPers have no clue of what liberal means or who is one. They exist with the cartoon boogie men that don't reflect reality, but are used as strawmen by their controllers to maintain their corrupt kleptocracy.
Thanks to the corruption of the past 7 years and the moral bankruptcy of the current repugnican party, the term is now another "fear" tactic...as the GOOP this year plans to fear anything and everything....or better termed: chickenshits.

13. They Already Have
That's why many of us are here...fighting to take the country and our language back.

Posting on DU and saying "Bush sucks!" is not "taking the country back."

12. I just hope
that the neocons are done for good after the last 8 years.
The government wants to spread "liberty" to other countries and if it is with force but don't want a liberal thinking in its own country. That is just messed up.

16. Becaue to the CONmen, liberals...
...care more about criminals than victims.
...hate our military and support our enemies.
...think every problem in the world is America's fault.
...want to tax YOUR money and hand it to had it over to shiftless bums who will vote for them.
...respond only to radical special interests (minorities who want special rights for themselves, man-hating feminists, every pervert under the sun, socialists who want to turn the next generation into some kind of gray Stalinist mass, flighty rich do-gooders, pointy-headed intellectuals who all have tenure so they don't know the pressures inherent in having a REAL job, student "activists" who ought to be cracking the books and thanking God how lucky they are, mobster-controlled unions, etc., cowed city-folk who want to take your guns away, baby killers, and so on), not to YOU.
...et cetera ad nauseum.

25. Sigh
to think Gore would have become President ... the world would be a different place today. I still believe 9/11 might have happened but Gore would have dealt with it so much more diplomatic.

You don't want that. Not unless you want endless terror attacks on our homeland. Oh wait, you DUmmies love the jihadists.

was President, again, I have this on :tinfoilhat:
after 8 years of this insane cabal does anyone truly think that this scum really cares about the American people, they have committed numerous crimes against humanity, and yet they are still there, this is shameful.

32. I have relatives who did that
Edited on Tue Feb-26-08 10:35 AM by me9399
one of my closest relatives and his girlfriend( now wife) voted for W in 2000 because he was pissed that he had to explain to his then 11 year old daughter what a BJ was. They voted for Kerry in 2004.
His Daughter now 22 said at Thanksgiving that if Hillary or any Dem was elected, she was going to leave the country. :eyes:

28. Exactly
The founding fathers left Europe because they were scared for their lives because of their religion. Still the Repugs nowaday want to tell everyone that the Christian Religion is the one and only. Guess they didn't read about the reasons why the Founding Fathers left the old Europe.

That's a good 'un. Ok DUmmie, bash the dim party on the DUmp and see how long that freedom of speech lasts. :whatever:

LIberal/liberals/liberalism is disgusting to me because of all of the things that it stands for. I makes me feel the same way that the words morals/morality makes liberals feel.
-
'Liberal' is to 'liberty' as 'ordinary' is to 'extraordinary'.
-
Liberal does not equal liberty. As a matter of fact, liberals are doing more to take away liberty from people be it RKBA, smoker's rights, or those ****in' spaghetti looking lightbulbs!

Somebody help me here. If the daughter was 11 in 2000, how could she be 22 only eight years later?
::sidebar to the primitives::
How many of you clowns at the DUmp said you would leave the USA when W was elected? Seems to me those posters were treated like heros over there. Just a tad bit hypocritical on your part, don'tcha think?

Poor grasp of grammatical syntax. The moonbat was saying that the daughter was 11 when Clinton lied under oath...still off by a year, but I think that's what the moonbat is referring too. The mistake was made of putting it right after the line about voting in 2000.
