Five Terrible Cruelties of Liberalism

"You will find that I am kind. Unlike the cruel Leonidas, who demanded that you stand...I require only that you kneel." -- King Xerxes, 300

Liberalism is an extraordinarily deceptive, ruinous and cruel ideology. That's because liberalism comes, arms wide open, whispering sweet words of compassion and pity, even as it forcefully slams down a boot upon the neck of people it's "helping." It's bad enough to see people's lives ruined by those who make no pretense about their intentions, but to see human beings destroyed by those who claim to have only their best interests at heart...well, let's just say it's a hell of a thing.

How, with all the debt we have acquired, and are as we speak doubling, can ANYBODY of reasonable mind make this statement? If the gene pool in Texas 'aint what it used to be', yours must be dried up completely!

at the risk of incoming slanders of my home state(s), I must admit to no Texas ties. My gene pool comes from Oklahoma via Missouri, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Germany, England & Ireland.

doubling of the debt is no problem.

Clinton assumed a massive debt. Allowing for inflation, the national debt in 1990 (when Clinton assumed office) was much greater than the one we have/will have today. The key now is the same as it was then, grow the economy. Historically, democrat administrations have a better track record in that department.

Secondly, coming off a recession, ALL reputable economists agree that the Fed must be free spending to speed recovery. A tight money policy will only make things worse.

So you have nothing to add to the thread except personal attacks ?

I'm sure you're a great guy. I apologize if you take my comments seriously. I don't take the relentless anti-liberal rants as serious discussion, and had hoped that my remarks would be seen as humorous. If I have offended you or your seven generations of Texas ancestors, please accept my sincere regrets.

Z.,
I have a pretty dry sense of humor and people that don't know me have taken what I've said in ways I never meant.

Accepted.

back to the important stuff, I see you have a 418w. A guy down here has one of those in his Mach I. I met him when he blew my doors off last week. There's only so much a 289 will do, even with an old Paxton strapped on.

God bless Texas. When I was stationed at Hood, the Texans I met were great people. Be proud 392, Texas is a great state (except for the libs I ran into in Austin). If I could accept not having to be near the beach here in San Diego I would be back in Texas.

not to be nit-picking, but Texas does have beaches. If running into liberals in TX bothered you, take a good look around California.

I have been to Texas beaches, no offense but they don't compare. The part of California I live in is not very liberal at all, but they do run the state. That was my point. The state of Texas does not have the problems California does because libs are not running it. I think you missed the point of my post.

oh we have our problems, most of which could be solved, but the Republicans are in charge. The Gov's big idea is to secede.

Well if they manage it I'm moving to Texas. Got plenty of relatives there that left Tennessee with Sam Houston.

But can they give Austin to California? Way too much crazy thinking in that town.

I have told my wife that if Texas were to do this we would have to move.

I wish we could divide California between north and south. We would still be stuck with L.A., but the liberal north would be gone. Southern California has more in common with Arizona than it does with the northern part of the state.

based on the latest election results, the southern California region is becoming more heavily Democratic Party & fewer Republican.

Don't know about liberal vs. conservative trends.

Obama mania was the main factor of that in the last election. The Obama bumper stickers are disapearing extremely fast around here though. I think you will see a much different trend in 2010.
