Have we ever had a real liberal as president?
   

Obama is not a true liberal, IMHO. It pains me to say it, but maybe by accepting that fact I can stop getting my hopes up that he's gonna start leading this country in a strongly progressive, rather than a pragmatic, communitarian, bipartisan direction that often runs counter to what liberals want.

Obama is not unique in this. He's not the only Democratic president who was not a liberal. But have we ever had a strongly progressive president in, say, the last 50 years? Ok, 60 years. Since FDR?

In my lifetime, I don't think so. Is it out of the realm of possibility for the US to have a liberal president? Or have I been waiting all my life for something that will never be?

Read the thread to hear the DUmmies sing the praises of Richard Milhouse Nixon. WTF????

I dunno.

I think Lyndon Johnson's credentials as a big liberal are pretty solid.

More solid than the sainted John Kennedy's.

Liberal, socialist, Communist... I've never seen a difference among the three.

Frankly, I'm not sure many liberals could define the differences either, if pressed.

That's why I often use "liberal/socialist/communist/democrat/satan's soldier/Little Goon" when writing about their ilk.

Liberalism, socialism, communism, fascism, they're all different flavors of same stale, primitive, regressive, ancient idea: statism.

The struggle is between personal liberty and enslavement to a looting, dictatorial state.

That's exactly correct, because communists at least have the decency to carry their principles out to their logical conclusion.  Liberals are pussies who've never thought any of their premises through.

Come to think of it, unions do create jobs. Companies have to hire two workers to do the work of one.
