I Am Proud To Call Myself A Liberal

[Perknose]

One of the more disgusting "victories" achieved by the retrograde, right wing propaganda machine over the years has been the hate-smearing of liberals.

F*ck them and the clown car they drove in on.

I stand with President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and President Harry S. Truman and countless others in the proud and unbowed tradition of American liberals.

Nothing is more American than a generosity of spirit and a commitment to the inclusion of everyone in the American dream. :thumbsup:

Any person who advocates liberty of though, speech or action

Judging by some recent actions I think this needs to be removed:sneaky:

That must have been very empowering. It reminds me of something Stuart Smalley might have said on Saturday Night Live during its hey day...


I'm Good Enough, I'm Smart Enough, and Doggone It, People Like Me!

Well, I'm happy for you, sparky.

Not very liberal of Franklin Delano Roosevelt to order the military to send Japanese-Americans to internment camps.

What kind of liberal are we talking about? Compared to most European countries our liberals are fairly conservative...

In Perknose's world the ones that believe in liberty, freedom, and open minds. But I suspect if we looked at who Perknose believes are liberals and who he stands behind. We will see closed minds, authoritarians, and people who believe in soul crushing big govt.

You believe that crap too?

You are only a liberal until someone does something you disagree with. Then are a bigot like everyone else.

Everyone has a limit as to what they will accept in society. We can not have anarchy and expect the state to exist.

Look at you,.. all proud to philanthropic and shit!

WTF is wrong with you??

Don't you know you should be beating dow, degrading, humiliating, mocking and hamstringing people that are less than you?!? THAT is what being an American is all about!!

Just look at how we got here, for God's sake!!

We nearly decimated the life on this land (cornered & boxed the Native Americans, nearly wiped out the native live stock), we flipped off the mother fuckers who funded us getting here (take THAT United Kingdom!) and we tea bag any one who complains about how we treated others;
- You want me to change my baseball team's name? Fuck you red man!!
- You want me to stop flying a confederate flag? Well, it does NOT represent slavery, it represents freedom and states rights,... freedom and states rights to enslave other human beings.
- What, you borrowed money you couldn't pay back?? As the professional financial expert who is in charge of reviewing the qualifications for loan applicants,.. not my problem,.. but, I'll take my fees nonetheless.

Get with the program OP, or get your ass to Europe, Canada,.. or some other 3rd world country that isn't as awesome as the United States Of America!!

See, the USA does whatever the fuck it wants, to whomever,... and if anyone complains about our abuse, we tackle that whiny shithead as well,... 'MURICA!!

I'm so thankful that liberals don't do any hate-smearing of conservatives. They're so above all that... /s

Speaking of smearing; http://www.slate.com/blogs/xx_facto...n_debate_dps_finally_releases_its_report.html

Would the conservatards care to show us how to not hate-smear?? Please, give us some examples of how not to villify, sensationalize and over dramatise the reality of the situation.

Go on.

Here is a tip; don't site anything from FoxNews,... 99% of the time, they hate-smear.

You really do "argue" on such a stupidly low level, it would be pointless to attempt to show you the many holes in your "arguments." This is the bane of P&N.

Nothing is more American than assuming that those not sharing your viewpoint don't

Good to see the "left wing propaganda machine" isn't above polluting the dictionary with the "noun" description of the word. I'm sure the definition Mr. Webster et al gave for "conservative" is similarly glorifying though, right?

Just to avoid confusion, as well: I'm not "liberal" or "conservative." I just think it's greatly amusing watching people identify with and bind themselves to one sect then argue and point fingers at "the other side" using ridiculous claims to try to overwhelm whatever "side" happens to be obviously right at the time through any kind of rational perspective. Everyone does it, it's just hilarious to watch masses of people adopt beliefs and views based on groupthink.

The simplest approach is usually the best.

The dinosaurs died out millions of years ago, but jellyfish and gators are still around.

Liberals claim to be tolerant, but your tolerance only goes so far.

Liberals may be more tolerant than conservatives. But there will be a day when you tell a certain group "no, you can not do that."

You mean like the UK:

One teenage boy was arrested for holding a ''Scientology is a dangerous cult'' placard and a student was held for telling a police officer his horse was ''gay'', they said.

Doesn't seem like the UK is so big on free speech to me.

Hmmmmmm I've always wondered if you weren't an alt account for Moonbeam. He's disappeared and here you are saying many of the things he always said.

So you choose to respond to Texashiker, but ignore rudder? That's like picking on the 'slow' kids on the playground, but avoiding the kids your own size (i.e., bullying).

Hang on a second, you stand by FDR who imprisoned tens of thousands, maybe even hundreds of thousands of people with no due process? Didn't FDR round up Japanese-Americans and detain them in camps?

Didn't FDR order all gold turned over to the treasury department?

I thought liberals were without bigotry, but you stand by a man who put innocent people in detainment camps?

I think this is a troll thread.

How can you proclaim to stand for liberty and freedom, but stand by someone who trampled on the rights of others?

Wow, you're right - haven't seen Moonie around for a while. Steamer probably isn't a Moonie alt though - Moonie occasionally did say something interesting, and he/she wasn't nearly as angry.

Moonie came across as logical.

Steamer is always anger. Like someone stole his candy angry.
