So are liberals liberal?

1. Progress and reform is not what they have been about...what progress? what reform?

they did promise change...but all they have done is the same old thing for 30 years, tax the rich, give to the poor, increase their voter base by giving entitlements. Sorry, that is neither progress (it does not promote progress) and it is not reform (the idea is to get people off of entitlements).

2.  Hmmm...it does pertain to a political party, but as noted above they have not progressed.

3. They do advocate liberalism...but once again their motive is the important thing...grow their voter base.

4. "maximum individual freedom possible" we are all for this, but is that what liberals are doing in this country? I think it is quite clear they are taking away our freedom.

5. "Freedom of action, with respect to matters of personal belief or expression" I think the definition here is talking about freedom of religion and expression of your beliefs...I don't think anyone has a problem with the religious part, but why did liberals try to shut down conservative talk shows?

 6. Our United States has always been a Democratic Republic...never a aristocracies and monarchies. Although Obama and company have sure been trying to move it toward Socialism which is the quickest way to a single ruling class...that certainly isn't freedom.

7.  Hmmm...very interesting, the only ones using racism are the liberals...go figure!

8. Tradition is not automatically wrong of bad nor are conventional thought...as I said before if you look at the liberal game plan, it hasn't change much in 30 years. The tactics liberals use are even older.

9. Generous? yeah, with my money and your money...why would any working person vote for a liberal?

10. They sure do give away a lot...problem is it isn't theirs to give away...

OK, I think we have figured out by now that Liberals do not follow the definition of the word they use to describe themselves. Here are some other things you may consider:

Obama and company say that they didn't communicate their plans and ideas to the American people and that is why they lost the mid-term elections. The truth of this is that they didn't lie well enough!

What about "Transparency"?  If they had been transparent about their plans, they wouldn't have passed so much harmful legislation. If they really had done something good for America, why is it that not one of there congressmen used his record as proof of his value to the American people? The agenda should be clear to all, it is about building their voter base with those who want entitlements (foodstampsahhhh...maybe that's the true agenda of Liberals and the Democratic party...POWER!

You know what they say about power, it looks like its already started!. 

Keep your eyes open, keep your congressman or senator honest and vote for America!

Election Day

I thought I would talk about campaign ads, but it's election day. I don't think I can add to what is very apparent. The ads are getting more personal and less truthful. Face it, if they can't tell you what they have done....kick them out of office. Happy Voting!
