Maybe not my best poll but -- meh -- give it a whirl.

1 bump by UnclearUnicorn, 1 reply and some babbling about the polling feature.

Apparently freedom is not a big topic with them or they're too scared to make their real feelings known.

leftists don`t like to discuss freedom because free people tend to reject their beliefs.

I love the reference to "a greater social goal". When a liberal agenda is discussed, this is what they mean by it. Everything else is subservient to it.

That struck me too. So people are only free unless they serve some usefulness for others. I'm sure Rome thought similar of Jews and other people they enslaved. How can these idiots not see how like minded they are to the oppressors through the ages?  :thatsright:

The only time they ever bring up freedom is, for any alternative sexual activity, and the freedom of a woman to have her unborn child murdered, other than that we all must yield to what they want.

These are their "greater social goals".

This in a nutshell is how democrat gun grabbers think that you must cede to their desires.

The democrat PTB have not changed their goals regarding gun control. They have just kept a low profile. All of that will change on 1-13 if obama is re elected.

Bank on it.
