I Have Recently Decided That I Am NOT A LIBERAL! Not Me Buddy!
Don't get me wrong. I fully embrace the traditional "liberal" values. However, my experience with liberals has been repeatedly marked by one thing, over-caution.

By that I mean that a large number of libs are too concerned with offending ANYONE. We see it all the time. A liberal implies that our government is running gulags akin to those run by fascists and right "gets offended". What does the liberal do? Apologizes.

Howard Dean says that the Republican party is mainly composed of white christians. Again the right gets "offended" and Dean apologizes.

I often see comments here and at rallies about my graphics that go like this, "I really agree with your message. But, that is a little strong. It might offend some folks. Maybe you should tone it down a bit."

Well to those folks, I say 125,000 Iraqis are dead!

I find that deeply offensive. When the government apologizes for launching this immoral war and when the SCOTUS apologizes for giving us Bush in the first place, I will consider toning it down.

Until them, I am no longer a "liberal" I am a "radical leftist".

I just hope that more "liberals" join me on the "radical leftist" side SOON. This not pissing anyone off crap just is not working!

4. I'm way ahead of you.
In fact, I am called the Second Moonbat (After Will Pitt) by some of the Nazis on other sites.

9. Good
Finally a REAL LEFTIST!

I am Radical too. Very radical. I can't rest with greedy pigs and stupid social hierarchy games, and I can't excuse inequality,and freedoms of existence based on "conditions" that don't matter like race gender orientation ,looks etc.
and I do not tolerate or make excuses for bullies,dominator's,con men,profiteers, tyrants, abusers or "takers" who profit off human misery fear,misery or obedience..Fuck all of these arrogant sociopath people,their sick "norms" and their culture trying to justify their sick inhuman games that hurt.
Welcome to the real world and looking at it honestly and saying what you see.To hell with the Game of Make Believe!
But be aware those who want to play make believe and excuse themselves will NOT like being shown who they are and they definitely do not like their selfishness pointed out clearly!

10. I suppose I'm a "radical" also...
These days, it's "radical" to believe that Presidents should obey laws.

It's RADICAL to believe that the Bible isn't a Science Textbook.

It's RADICAL to think that killing innocent people is wrong.

It's RADICAL to believe that poor people have the same RIGHTS as the wealthy.

It's RADICAL to think the Bill of Rights was a good thing.


That's what it has come to in B*shCabalInc.™'s Amerika.
I'm just a squirrel-stewing toothless hillbilly from Polecat Hollow,
but in these twisted times, I'm labelled a "radical leftist".

And I ain't afraid of hurting any neoCon's feelings.
Fuck 'em, says I...fuck 'em in their shriveled black hearts!
