Answer 3

Liberals supposedly favor Big Government, remeber? Funny, how the government's is bigger than ever and out of control under Bush! Can you say stealing our tax money and surplus and turning into a massive DEBT???

Answer 4

huh?

small like the dept. of Homeland Security, Patriot Act, Big Expensive Wars with no real plan (at least for public consumption)
just secret plotting for monetary gain amoung a good-ol-boy network of oil barons and weapons sellers?
is this what you mean?

and- at the human cost of OUR kids getting hit by bullets and bombs while paid mercanaries make $200,000 a year, but our kids get crappy medical coverage, waiting in moldy rooms with rats and maggots to see if they will ever get the treatment they need?

i guess these are the anti-democratic programs you have in mind for ALL Americans -

'conservative' is a business principle
'terror' is a military tactic
'capitolism' is an econmic format
'feudalism' is a failed form of government where the rich grab all the power they can until it all collapses upon them -
which is what is happening now with giant corporations controlling the media and the economy-
which is why our leaders are scrambling for 'dictatorship'
which again will cause collapse -
we don't have to do anything- if 'collapse' is ok with everyone

it's all them liberals fault ... so I see....

Answer 5

Liberal don't support social programs such as subsidies for Big Oil, or letting Halfwits pay for sex with US Tax Payer money. I think these are anti democratic programs that the Bush Administration has been supporting thus you should join our fight and "Impeach Bush."

Answer 6

i'll initiate a clean political celebration. it will be the Beer Guzzling, Chain Smoking human beings's Rights celebration. what would be the celebration platform? Prohibition would be further returned, and smoking made unlawful. on the instant upon happening of work, i will on the instant outlaw voting and placed all my pals and kinfolk into key positions in the government. The invoice of Rights would be revoked, and that i will rule with an iron fist. you spot, i'm able to call my celebration in spite of i prefer, yet it extremely is not any fact i will uphold any of those values. the fact is which you fell for the precise same Propaganda that everybody who might have voted for my celebration might have fallen for. The nationwide Socialists have been Nationalists (to the severe), yet they weren't Socialists-they have been Authoritarian. in basic terms in case you concept in any different case, Authoritarian isn't synonymous with Communism. it extremely is a level of length, as is Libertarianism. you will possibly be for or against virtually something and legitimately be a Libertarian or Authoritarian. Communism, even regardless of the undeniable fact that-holds particular techniques, as does Capitalism. yet Authoritarianism and Libertarianism do no longer carry any techniques of themselves, different than the degree of administration that the government could have over the ability of production or of society in many cases (Communism, Socialism, Capitalism, and so on.). in case you had relatively examine a background e book your self, you will possibly understand that far off from being pals with Socialism and Communism, Hitler despatched the two communities to concentration Camps, and he even went to conflict against the U.S.. For some magnificent reason that baffles me, you insist on bringing faith into this, and you have basically sealed in my innovations your photograph as somebody who hasn't a clue as to what he's talking approximately, yet used talking factors developed by utilizing somebody else to seem clever. this won't do. Secular and Atheist government are by utilizing default detrimental. Secular government isn't government that promotes any theory, or lack thereof (Atheism), it extremely is a central authority that opts to maintain them separate. returned, you have mixed up a level of administration (Secular to Theocratic) with an ideology (Atheism, Christianity, Islam, Judaism, and so on.). Secularism holds that government and faith should not be intermixed. by utilizing default this excludes an Atheist government as a threat. help combat against the theory that YA is a breeding floor for idiots, think of earlier you submit.

PERHAPS THIS ESSAY WILL ENLIGHTEN YOU...


A DAY IN THE LIFE OF JOE REPUBLICAN

Joe gets up at 6AM and fills his coffeepot with water to prepare his morning coffee. The water is clean and safe because some tree-hugging liberal fought for minimum water-quality standards. With his first swallow of water, he takes his daily medication. His medications are safe to take because some stupid commie liberal fought to ensure their safety and that they work as advertised. All but $10 of his medications are paid for by his employer's medical plan because some commie-liberal union workers fought for paid medical insurance and Joe gets it too.

His morning breakfast, bacon and eggs, is safe to eat because some girly-man liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat-packing industry.

In the shower, Joe reaches for his shampoo. His bottle is labeled with each ingredient because some crybaby liberal fought for his right to know what he was putting on his body.

Joe walks on the government-provided sidewalk to subway station for his government-subsidized ride to work. It saves him considerable money in parking and transportation fees because some fancy-pants liberal fought for affordable public transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity to be a contributor.

Joe has a good job with excellent pay, medical benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some lazy liberal union members fought and died for these working standards. Joe's employer pays these standards because Joe's employer doesn't want his employees to call the union.

If Joe is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed, he'll get a worker compensation or unemployment check because some stupid liberal didn't think he should lose his home because of his temporary misfortune.

It is noon and Joe needs to make a bank deposit so he can pay some bills. Joe's deposit is federally insured by the FSLIC because some godless liberal wanted to protect Joe's money from unscrupulous bankers who ruined he banking system before the Great Depression.

Joe has to pay his Fannie Mae-underwritten mortgage and his below-market federal student loan because some elitist liberal decided that Joe and the government would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over his lifetime. Joe also forgets that his in addition to his federally subsidized student loans, he attended a state-funded university.

After work, Joe drives to visit his father at his home in the country. Joe's car is among the safest in the world because some America-hating liberal fought for car safety standards to go along with the tax-payer funded roads. Joe arrives at his boyhood home. He was the third generation to live in the house financed by Farmers' Home Administration because bankers didn't want to make rural loans.

The house didn't have electricity until some big-government liberal stuck his nose where it didn't belong and demanded rural electrification.

Joe is happy to see his father, who is now retired. His father lives on Social Security and a union pension because some wine-drinking, cheese-eating liberal made sure he could take care of himself when he was older so Joe wouldn't have to.

On the ride home, Joe turns on a radio talk show.

The host keeps saying that liberals are bad and conservatives are good. He doesn't mention that the Republicans have fought against every protection and benefit Joe enjoys throughout his day. Joe agrees: "We don't need those big-government liberals ruining our lives! After all, I'm a self-made man who believes everyone should take care of themselves, just like I have."
