Townhall.com John Hawkins April 14,2018 1) Liberals: Conservatives are so paranoid! No one wants to take your guns. Also liberals: Repeal the 2nd Amendment! No one needs AR-15s! Gun owners are murderers and terrorists! 2) Liberals: College kids need to be protected from hurtful words with safe spaces because they’re so fragile and the poor dears need to be able to stay on their parents’ insurance until 26! Also liberals: 16 year-olds should be able to vote! 3) Liberals: You can’t criticize Islam! We must be respectful to all religions! Also liberals: Of course, there’s nothing wrong with using your tax dollars to build a life-size nativity scene made out of pig sh*t! 4) Liberals: We absolutely should not put armed guards in schools to stop shooters! It won’t work! Terrible idea! Also liberals: There’s a school shooter! Quick, call someone with a gun to save the kids! 5) Liberals: Love trumps hate! When they go low, we go high! Hate has no home here! Also liberals: You don’t agree with me? BIGOT! RACIST! FASCIST! WHY ARE YOU SO HATEFUL? 6) Liberals: Romney is such an idiot for thinking Russia is our biggest geopolitical threat. Get back in your time machine so you can get back to the Cold War, Grandpa! Ha, hah, ha! Also liberals: Can we talk about how big a threat Russia is to us? Where are the sanctions? Maybe we should bomb Russia! Why are more people not talking about the danger of Russia? 7) Liberals: We need to do whatever it takes to curb global warming! Also liberals: Let's all fly overseas in private jets and ride in SUVS to an opulent conference so we can discuss global warming. 8) Liberals: My baby can decide his own gender! Also liberals: Spanking your child? That’s child abuse! 9) Liberals: We’re a rape culture! Women are under a constant threat of sexual assault from men! Also liberals: Women should be able to carry guns for protection? That’s insane! 10) Liberals: Diversity is a strength! Also liberals: No conservatives should be allowed to work for liberal publications, act in Hollywood or teach in schools! 11) Liberals: Donald Trump is another Hitler and the police are racists who are murdering young black men for no reason. Also liberals: Only the government and police should have guns! 12) Liberals: It’s my body, my choice! Also liberals: You should be fined by the government if you don’t want to buy health insurance! 13) Liberals: We’re the party of science! Also liberals: Unborn children aren’t people and you can pick your own gender! 14) Liberals: The death penalty is morally wrong! You can’t do that to another human being, even if he’s a serial killer! Also liberals: Not even the father of the child has the right to keep a woman from aborting her baby. 15) Liberals: School choice? Vouchers! Those are bad for children! Children should have to go to public schools! Also (rich) liberals: Of course my kids are going to private school! It’s only the best for my children! 16) Liberals: You don’t want to give more of what you earned to the government? You’re SELFISH! Also liberals: You want welfare, school lunches and housing you didn’t earn? Don’t be ashamed! There’s nothing wrong with taking it! 17) Liberals: The law is your fist when you're dealing with Nazis! They deserve it! Also liberals: Everyone who disagrees with me is a Nazi! 18) Liberals: Conservatives are sexists who don’t respect women! Also liberals: Give me a second; I just called Dana Loesch the c-word on Twitter and I have to like it with all 8 of my fake accounts. 19) Liberals: There is no reason to oppose tearing down Confederate statues other than racism! Also liberals: The Jefferson Memorial? He was a slave owner; so it should go. William McKinley wasn’t nice enough to the Indians. He has to go! Oh, and let’s destroy Mount Rushmore while we’re at it! 20) Liberals: We need more women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics! Also liberal women in college: I’m majoring in women’s studies! Link Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | ||

The Left has done a great job of co-opting the word "liberal."

Liberal is the wrong term, progressive is a much better term. It drives me batty that people call progressives liberals. Joe Lieberman is a liberal, Nancy Pelosi is a progressive. | |||

| Just because you can, doesn't mean you should |
Nothing liberal about them. They are ultra conservative leftists. ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

I stopped at number 1 assuming the rest is the same. I don't see this as a liberal vs. liberal. It's a liberal tactic that is mirrored in any inner city ambush by thugs. One thug engages the target while the other thug goes around to smack the target unawares. They got you coming and going. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

| No double standards |
I see this as the typical liberal double standard: guns for me but not for thee; my speech is free speech, your speech is hate speech, etc "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women. When it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it....While it lies there, it needs no constitution, no law, no court to save it" - Judge Learned Hand, May 1944 | |||

delicately calloused |
The truth and true principles are consistent and eternal. Lies and false principles are relative and temporary. You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier | |||
|
| No double standards |
Yes, relative and temporary. But when in the middle of them, they can do a lot of damage. "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women. When it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it....While it lies there, it needs no constitution, no law, no court to save it" - Judge Learned Hand, May 1944 | |||

They're indeed not liberals, but I'd argue there's nothing "progressive" about them, either. They're leftists. Authoritarian leftists. They are more like fascists than liberals. "America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the system,,,, but too early to shoot the bastards." -- Claire Wolfe "If we let things terrify us, life will not be worth living." -- Seneca the Younger, Roman Stoic philosopher | |||

Liberal-Leftist-Progressives are simply out to destroy every traditional American moral, ethical, and cultural value. Why? Some philosopher/psychologists call this "ressentiment", which is based on their greedy, self-centered resentment and envy of all that is successful. So they assume a holy mantle for their resentment and fight against all that is "good" with a religious-like zeal. "Crom is strong! If I die, I have to go before him, and he will ask me, 'What is the riddle of steel?' If I don't know it, he will cast me out of Valhalla and laugh at me." | |||

They have a good PR department which realizes a rose by any other name would smell as sweet, but many a turd is sold by clever naming and marketing. Nobody wanted chinese gooseberries, but now they are quite popular as Kiwifruit. If we had “truth in politics” the progs would be God Damned Commies. In classical terms, those who favor individual liberty, property, freedom, are liberals. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

You do have to give the credit that they are extremely good at creating new words and redefining ones that already exist. “Everybody wants a Sig in the sheets but a Glock on the streets.” -bionic218 04-02-2014 | |||

Overall, The true liberals of 30 years ago are far different from the true liberals of today. . | |||

Why concede to their terms? We don't call EBRs "assault weapons" or assault rifles because they do, do we? So why refer to them as "liberals" when it's obvious they are the opposite of liberal? Cooperating with their marketing only helps give them cover for what they really are. "America is at that awkward stage.
