Liberal ... (in modern tems)

Quote from Hello:

Still doesnt change anything, racist liberal democrats tried to block the civil rights act while Republicans overwhelmingly voted for it.

It doesnt matter what kind of people decide to vote for politicians, what matters is the politicians actions, and it was racist democratic politicians who opposed the civil rights bill.

Yup, the Dixiecrats were uber liberals - now you are outdoing yourself in political knowledge.

It's a good point -- the southern Democrats opposed civil rights and then they all moved north leaving the south a bastion of equal rights, freedom for blacks and a stronghold of the Republican party.

Indeed, it was the democrats in the south who abused blacks after the civil war when blacks were given rights by the "radical republicans". The democrats formed the KKK to oppose those free-blacks and republicans.

The entire Democratic plank on Civil Rights is a Lie.

Speaking of liberals and "civil rights":


Coates claimed the NAACP pressured Justice Department officials.
FOX News reported on the hearing today:

The Justice Department is ignoring civil rights cases that involve white victims and wrongly abandoned a voter intimidation case against the New Black Panther Party last year, a top department official testified Friday. He called the department’s conduct a “travesty of justice.”

Christopher Coates, former voting chief for the department’s Civil Rights Division, spoke under oath Friday morning before the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, in a long-awaited appearance that had been stonewalled by the Justice Department for nearly a year.

Coates discussed in depth the DOJ’s decision to dismiss intimidation charges against New Black Panther members who were videotaped outside a Philadelphia polling place in 2008 dressed in military-style uniforms — one was brandishing a nightstick — and allegedly hurling racial slurs…

…He said civil rights attorneys stick to cases that involve minority victims, and he said the Black Panther case was dismissed following “pressure” by the NAACP and “anger” at the case within the Justice Department itself.

“That anger was the result of their deep-seated opposition to the equal enforcement of the Voting Rights Act against racial minorities and for the protection of white voters who have been discriminated against,” he said.

You have some misunderstandings. You need to educate yourself and be able to more accurately understand the meaning of the terms you are throwing around, you are making several false statements.

Quote from DoneNDone:

anther thing, true conservatism is closely aligned with libertarianism

so, the 'liberal points of view' as it relates to social issues is a canard


at the risk of being an ass: REDEFINING MARRIAGE, A 5-10-20 THOUSAND YEAR OLD INSTITUTION, IS NOT A VICTIMLESS CRIME

neither is scrambling unborn infants

Makes sense that hermette takes information from a fictional television show and believes it to be factual, that explains a lot about his logic.

Liberals actually filibustered the civil rights act, conservatives proposed and passed it. Conservatives ended segregation, left wingers fought it tooth and nail every step. Conservatives (ike) expanded social security, left wingers fought it every step. Conservatives created the interstate highway system, making the united states exponentially more prosperous and efficient. The left wing, of course, kicked and screamed the whole way.

Quote from hermit:

"Liberals got women the right to vote. Liberals got African-Americans the right to vote. Liberals created Social Security and lifted millions ......of elderly people out of poverty. Liberals ended segregation. Liberals passed the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act. Liberals created Medicare. Liberals passed the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act. What did Conservatives do? They opposed them on every one of those things...every one! So when you try to hurl that label at my feet, 'Liberal, ' as if it were something to be ashamed of, something dirty, something to run away from, it won't work, Senator, because I will pick up that label and I will wear it as a badge of honor."

You don't know what a Liberal is. You guys hijacked the term, because it sounds better than what you really are- socialists...

Quote from hermit:

You are a moron if you don't understand the distinction between being a Democrat vs being a Liberal.
