What a crock ! To blame liberalism for all of the evils in society is just plain idiotic . The term liberal
comes from the Latin word libertas, meaning freedom . Wanting to keep the government out of people's bedrroms
does not promote evil, in fact, it prevent it ! It's not liberals who want people to be denied rights just because they're
gay. It's not liberals who want to force pregnant women to bear children against their will even if they're too poor
to provide for them or a pregnancy would kill them or ruin their health.
It's not liberals who want religion to get too much power in America, which so many right-wingers want
It's not liberals who want to destroy the safety net for the poor or those not originally poor but down on
their luck and out of work through no fault of their own., or deny help to people struck by catastrophic illnesses
or permanently disabled in accidents . It's not liberals who want the government to censor and ban books,
magazines, movies and TV shows some people find sexually offensive.
It's not liberals who are insensitive to people who are down on their luck and blame them for their plight
and accuse them of "laziness".
Conservatives claim that they want "limited government." Bu tin fact, they want unlimited power for the
government to stick its nose into people's bedrooms and to try to control women's reproductive organs .
It's not liberals who don't give a you-know-what about the environment and think that pollution is OK
as long as it makes a profit .
With freedom like this, who needs tyranny? Think I'm a socialist,Marxist and communist? Well if you do,
you're dead wrong . I believe in capitalism and the free market. But I also believe in a FAIR market .
Conservatives claim that they want "equality of opportunity", not equality of outcome.
Yet they hypocritically vote for disastrous republican social and economic policies which DESTROY equality of outcome .
I have no problem with some people being rich , so I'm no communist . But I DO have a problem with a society
where it's too difficult for people to live secure lives , get a good education beyond high school, find good jobs
with good benefits and to be able to retire without sinking into poverty . That's the kind of America we have today,
and it's largely the fault of republican politicians in Washington .
What a crock ....
