Liberal
From RationalWiki
Liberal is a term that Americans mistakenly believe to mean "politically left". According to the creator and King of Conservapedia, "Many liberals do not mind deceit and even expect it in advancing liberal goals."[1] This characteristic of Liberals is used as a tactic in debating known as the Schlafly Reversal. Liberal is also rendered as "Lieberal", "Lib'rul", "Commie", "Pinko", "Islamofascism enabler", or "homo-lover" in different political circles.
The term is used by Conservapedia, Ann Coulter, and other right-wing thugs as a synonym for "evil".

[edit] Liberals and Religion
[edit] Christianity
Liberals have also been known to mock Jesus.[2] Some liberals even slander Jesus by claiming that He was a liberal[3] who helped the poor and gave comfort to the wrong kinds of people. Lies, lies, lies!!! Everybody knows that Jesus wants all good[4] Christians to be as wealthy as possible so they can afford to separate themselves from contrary viewpoints sinners.[5] Just tune into any televangelist's dog-and-pony show, smoke and mirrors, sermon and they'll tell you so - especially if you send in a tax-deductable donation of $100 or more for which you'll receive a pocket-sized booklet explaining just how much God and Jesus want you to be rich and how to pray to Them for your well-deserved wealth.
[edit] Islam
Liberals love Islam because they hate Christianity. Some liberals have even said[6] that they can't wait for Islam to take over America because these so-called feminists think that all women should wear burkas.
[edit] Judaism
The Institute for Jewish and Community Research, whoever they are, claims that Democratic voters disproportionally express anti-Semitic beliefs, partly because they are less likely to be educated than conservatives.[7]
Intelligent people claim otherwise.
[edit] A definition
According to the well-known political philosopher and railway worker Philip J. Rayment: "...'liberal' is used roughly-speaking to mean anybody who rejects the traditional Western values that have been derived from the West's reformed Christian heritage. As such, "liberal" includes atheists, agnostics, compromising Christians, people who's (sic) political views are along those lines also, and so forth. That's probably not a very precise definition, but then I'm not sure how precise a definition could be supplied anyway." (PJR Ist April 2008) [8]
When in doubt, this comparison may assist in distinguishing liberals from their counterparts:
- Conservatives care about themselves; screw everyone else.
- Liberals care about everyone; screw conservatives.
[edit] Classical liberals
Liberals are not to be confused with "classical liberals", who are basically conservatives who missed that political thought has changed somewhat since the Industrial Revolution and that unfettered laissez-faire capitalism didn't really work out, especially for the workers. Many people who consider themselves "classical liberals" would be better served joining the ranks of the "big-L Libertarians".
[edit] Modern liberals
Apparently some people who claim to be liberals believe that the role of government, as well as people in general, is to promote diversity of thought, and the general welfare of all, while actively minimizing or preventing harm done to others. The right wing would like you to know that such people do not exist, and in fact doesn't even know what to call them.
[edit] "America Perceived"
"The myth liberals give says we need to restore America's image in the world. Again, this mostly has to do with liberals' negative view of President Bush. Liberals want the two linked even though the myth is false. They blame Bush and Iraq for the bad USA image but the truth is that the credibility of the American left is a worse image than America's image abroad. The main need for liberals to propagate this myth is the fact that socialist governments of Europe oppose the policy of Iraq. This further fuels liberals' political agenda to remove Republicans from power. Liberals love Europeans and cite their false socialist utopia at every chance. European opposition automatically reinforces their belief that America's image is damaged. As of 2008, most of the European leaders that opposed Iraq are no longer in positions of power. The result, European conservatives were elected who publicly aligned themselves with America.
Those liberals that use the myth and regularly bash the USA are often called the "Blame America First" crowd. Though they never seem to mention that America gives more in donations, in total dollars, than any other country on Earth. [1] A sure way to change America's image in the world is to show the world we respect life. The repeal of Roe Vs. Wade would be a start.
Reasons why America was hated prior to 2003 include wealth, women's rights, support for our democratic ally Israel, democratic government, capitalist economy and exporting immorality." [sic] [9]
[edit] Conclusion
Liberals are often communists, and are almost as genetically similar to humans beings as the chimpanzees. They are characterized by a lack of religious morality, common sense, love for the common man, and an extreme hatred for the Goo Goo Dolls.
