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.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

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.
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

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.
I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.

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