What I really take out of this waste of several hundred words is that it is time to drop the “liberal” label and begin calling the leftists what they are ... “leftists.” Leaves no doubt as to the meaning.
Darn most ZOTs are entertaining but this one is just plain boring - like reading a dictionary.
Any person who believes that Ricky Maddow is the only true news person on TV has some deep seeded mental issues that they refuse to deal with.
A liberal: A guy who’ll give you the shirt off someone else’s back. Studies show that liberals are more likely to shoplift, cheat on taxes and keep excess change from a cashier, because, - get this - they feel that they are MORALLY SUPERIOR and therefore entitled to others people’s property.
The word, “label” is a label - please re-write your screed without using it (or any other such label/noun).
The left doesn’t like “labels” because they carry INFORMATION about that which is being labelled.
They can only operate when people don’t understand who they really are.
I noticed that too. :-)
At the start of the Twentieth Century the term "liberal" meant the same in America as it still does in the rest of the world - essentially, what is called "conservatism" in American Newspeak. Of course we "American Conservatives" are not the ones who oppose development and liberty, so in that sense we are not conservative at all. We actually are liberals.But in America, "liberalism" was given its American Newspeak - essentially inverted - meaning in the 1920s (source: Safire's New Political Dictionary). The fact that the American socialists have acquired a word to exploit is bad enough; the real disaster is that we do not now have a word which truly descriptive of our own political perspective. We only have the smear words which the socialists have assigned to us. And make no mistake, in America "conservative" is inherently a negative connotation just as surely as marketers love to boldly proclaim that the product which they are flogging is NEW!
Another example of a word being 're-purposed' would be "Gay".
Exactly right. And can only succeed if people don't know what they're up to and what their ultimate goals are.
Hayek’s “Road to Serfdom” will cause your brain to go wonky until you get used to the word “liberal” actually meaning “liberty minded”.
True, but reading the comments more than make up for the boring post.
I was hoping to find out what grade his teacher gave him for that paper, and if it was enough to pass.
Anyway...good luck “freedomguy38”...and high school chicks really dig the deep thinkers.
On the subject of Zots...I used to love it when Old Sarge put up his ‘emergency action notification’ message when a zot got done. He ain’t done that in a while. Is he not on or did he decide it ain’t worth it?
...the mythologies the priests had learned from Zoroastrianism during their captivity in Persia (heaven, hell, battle between good and evil gods, resurrection, apocalyptic end of the world, etc.; all found in Judaism and a generation or two later also in Christianity).
I'm gettin' pretty tired of seein' this kinda crap on a pro-Christian site like FR. Glad for the zot.
“AHHHHHHHHHH!!! He said the Secret Words for ‘I’m a liberal!’”
And, don’t forget that liberals are notorious
cheapskates when it comes to tipping.
