100 million people died directly or indirectly due to communism in the 20th century and it’s still around.

Smallpox was supposedly eradicated, too. Then we came to find out that intellectuals and scientists had carefully preserved some.

I still run into people that believe Keynesian economics is the only solution. They believe it to their core. No amount of fact will sway them. Just like their belief in global warming and that Al Gore actually won in 2000.

Dream on, it isn’t going to happen. Key phrase from the article: “how could anyone remotely intelligent”. They are not even remotely intelligent. Well, they may be somewhat intelligent but they live in a dream world where unicorns poop rainbows with stars in them.

Clasical Liberalism has been dead in washington since the 1930’s...

Neo Liberalism is just Fascism dressed up in the cloak of “democracy” which is really just the rule of the mob, not the rule of law.

Yep but it’s not a good thing: all the old liberals are socialists now.

But not in the US; thusly, these scum will continue to receive support from the US drones.

And it has progressed to Stalinism. Hey, I just explained the meaning of the term “progressive”!

how could anyone remotely intelligent support the continued deficit spending that is driving the Western World into bankruptcy?...

Just ask one of the idiots that voted for the Kenyan Catastrophe. The reasons are all beyond stupid.

LOL. Liberalism isn’t dead. In fact, it’s about to have two political parties dedicated to its advancement very soon.

Liberalism is a natural outgrowth of the first lie:

Gen 3

the serpent said to the woman. 5 “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

Liberalism is the arrogant political theory that man is smart enough to be God like.

The source of liberalism is evil and it will be with us in some form until Jesus returns.

I think what is happening is that liberalism is losing its legitimacy in more and more circles. it’s not dead. it’s just becoming a laughing stock for more and more people, hopefully a majority. Look at what’s happening in WIsconsin. A blue state is turning red.

Plus, Obama is having to lie that he is not a big spender in order to get ahead of the coming attacks that he is a spendthrift. This lie admits as an assumption that being a liberal spendthrift is a bad thing.

Actually, there was NOTHING ‘liberal’ about the so-called liberals.

They do not want liberty/freedom from government for anyone except themselves.

They loathe the US Constitution, limited government and the rule of law.

These so called liberals stole a great word, poisoned it and are presently destroying EVERYTHING that classical liberals like John Locke , Adam Smith, Milton Friedman etc, have created.

The folks are narcissists,deeply naive and crave authoritarian rule.....and they will morph like the virus they are.

Yep. It will morph into some other communist agenda/cause like it morphed into progressives and so on. I think it is a disease for which there seems to be no cure.
