Why do Liberals think American Freedom should be abolished?

Question

Serious Replies only! Thanks.

Answer 1

The question may be hyperbolic, but there's nothing inherently wrong with exaggerating to make a point. A long time ago, when the old Chicago Daily News was still in existence as Chicago's afternoon newspaper, I read an editorial in it that contained this sentence: "Scratch a liberal, and you'll find an authoritarian."

That sentence may also be hyperbolic, but much less so; there's a lot of truth to it. But in later years, during my transition from conservative to libertarian, it occurred to me that liberals are authoritarians about some things and conservatives are authoritarians about other things. This concept is sometimes described, again imperfectly, as "Republicans want government in your bedroom and out of their wallet; and Democrats want government in your wallet and out of their bedrooms."

I find it increasingly difficult to reconcile what I consider to be glaring inconsistencies in both approaches. I want government out of my bedroom, and yours, AND out of my wallet, and yours; and I can't understand how a PRINCIPLED argument can be made against either part of that position.

As a result, I would not ridicule the question. Rather, I'd answer it by saying, "So do conservatives, so let's get together and see if we can't get both of them on the straight and narrow before they take us all over a cliff."

Why not ask you own president that?
If you don't realize what the patriot act has done to your freedoms then you are clueless.

Bush and his oligarchic companions sabotaged American democracy so they could pillage taxpayer resources.

Bush and his cabal of henchmen lied to the American people about Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq, and they continue to obfuscate the truth while their companies cash in, Iraqis suffer and American soldiers die.

Bush is bad for business and the economy. He is only interested in enriching himself and his friends.

Bush is bad for the future. He is compromising the prosperity of tomorrow's America by shortchanging today's children.

Bush is bad for the environment.

The Bush Administration has manipulated the media to the point of undermining the Constitutional guarantees of a Free Press.

Bush has tried to undermine the United Nations, a democratic institution created in large measure by Presidents Eisenhower and Truman. Without even understanding what the UN does, Bush has called it "irrelevant" when it fails to fall in line with his dictates.

Bush is inarticulate and projects a stereotype abroad of Americans being ignorant and myopic.

Bush torpedoes global agreements on everything from racism and global warming to biological weapons and land mines, and then expects the world to line up behind him.

Bush took positive patriotism and global support in the wake of 9/11 and forced it behind his own narrow self-interest in Iraq. He hijacked 9/11 for his own benefit.

Bush stands against everything America stands for.

Answer 3

Why do people who don't understand politics but arbitrarily pick sides post such moronic questions?

If you have a legitimate case to make, then make it. Don't waste our time with the loaded, ignorant bait questions. Thanks.

libs are completely anti-american and anti-christian. They think this because most of america believes in God like its founding fathers. If they completely take God out, there is no america. Just an immoral bunch of pacifist god hating people.
