Helpful hints on understanding libs:

You know, it's fascinated me why the US has a different definition of "Liberal" than the rest of the world. (In the rest of the world, liberalism or neoliberalism is a Friedmanite view of economics: the destruction of mixed economies, resource pillaging, cutting social safety net, etc.)

It was actually FDR, I think: liberalism is "plain English for a changed concept of the duty and responsibility of government toward economic life."

modern, American liberals should be called "progressives". They have nothing in common with the "classical liberal" who valued individual freedom and responsibility over government intervention.

This is true. I would self-identify myself as a liberal in the original sense, but the meaning it has now economically is totally foreign to my way of thinking.

second, and this has got to hurt, none of the mental midgets from the left have refuted any of it.lol:

Great job, You've got 'em crawling out of the woodwork!!
:good!:

I think they're mad.

“Freedom fighter.” To a liberal a freedom fighter is anyone that would fight against the U.S.A. You know, like the Taliban, al Qaieda, folks like that.

Remember the Kosovo Liberation Army???

Terrorist organization one week, fellow freedom fighter the next.

Remember the muslim liberation army???

They took credit for the Oklahoma City federal building bombing but it was white racists that did it according to open minded liberals. Who ever heard of Hussein-al-Husseini anyway???

Never mind what not one but two CIA directors testified before congress, the NY Slime newsrag is gospel to the left.

Some of these people are so open minded you could use their heads for wind tunnel experiments.

Haiku to be exact.
