15. I now ask: 'What is wrong with being a Liberal? ... please explain:' ....
Edited on Mon Jul-12-04 08:28 PM by Trajan
Then the stuttering starts ....

"Lazy? " ..... How so ? ... MOST liberals are VERY hard working folk ...

"Hate America" ? ... How can you SAY that ? .. MOST liberals love thier country as much as ANY conservative, but for the RIGHT reasons: not because they are asked to bow down to their leader .... They EXERCISE their rights instead of just praising them ...

"Ignorant" ?" ... How can you say that ?: MOST Liberals are VERY well educated, and this explains why they ARE Liberal ...

"Communist? .... Give me a FUCKING break" : Liberals arent Communist or Socialist: they love their fellow man, they respect their fellow citizens SO much that they want ONLY that their nation treat ALL men fairly and equitably ..... WE dont want HAND OUTS, but we expect that all who NEED a hand UP will get it .... There is no reason for families to starve or go without shelter when some citizens use our system of government to make enough money IN ONE DAY to feed a MILLION families for a week ... There is a price we pay for this way of life, and ALL must pay it according to their ability to pay ...

NOT paying taxes, by refusing to pay your fair share according to your ability to pay is patently unfair, and is more of a 'free ride' than any 'welfare queen' could possibly fathom ....

ALL men are created equal, and all should have equal protection before the law: ALL should benefit from the fruits of democratic society by taxing that society JUST ENOUGH to promote the general welfare of that society as a whole ...

That isnt socialism or communism .... That is fair republican capitalism ...

I am proud to be a Liberal, and if someone wants to criticise Liberalism, they had better come up with very sound arguments ...
