DEFINE LIBERAL

[Duchess]

In the world of politics, define what Liberal means to you.

Thanks!

[SIXFOOTERsez]

To me the Libs are the folks that are in favor of all manner of Free, Giveaway, welfare programs, tax the rich, tax the companies, bleeding heart no personal responsibility policies.
Not that any one of those things are evil in themselves, but they should not be careers or a way of life.

[Duchess]

I'm not sure how to describe a Liberal and I'm not even sure I've ever really seen one.

[BlueTiki]

Modern plantation masters and the slaves who are willing to accept their table scraps versus individual success and self determination.

Agree with six and BT and with a few exceptions, it's usually Liberals that want to outlaw things. Take away one's freedom to choose by making things unlawful to own or possess.

BG, just what freedom to choose has been taken away from you?
If you are alluding to gun rights....and I am not saying you are....you shouldn't have the right to buy an assault rifle, pistol, etc. without a permit or background check....The 2^nd amendment doesn't give you the right to terrorize the rest of us with your ....uh.....gun. You should have right to choose whether you want to terminate a pregnancy......that is a medical issue, not a Gov't issue..so just what are Liberals wanting to outlaw? And why do some of you think that Liberals are O.K. with hand outs....Who said that? I am pro choice, not pro abortion.
However, I think every society should take care of the down and out. It is called compassion. Do I believe in welfare? yes...but only under special circumstances. There is way too much welfare fraud and it upsets me just as much as it does you....
It makes me angry that the Gov't awards welfare to alcoholics and call it a disability without requiring treatment....maybe laws have changed but that happened in the 80's; one of my tenants never could pay his rent cause he used his welfare check to buy booze....
I am actually still a legal resident of Colorado and I voted for legalization of weed......what freedom did I try to take away with that vote? Just not understanding your statement above.
I do not believe in blanket amnesty of "illegal" persons. Dang, if I went to another country and did that, I would still be there behind bars...Last evening on news it said that 5,000 illegals from Mexico had been convicted of murders. Was only half listening so don't know details...Some of these deadbeats and killers need to be deported ASAP. If some are allowed to stay, they need to wait their turn, pay taxes, etc...pay back any welfare they received... I had to pay back my student loan after all.

I believe liberals take away fundamental free enterprise principles.

I believe liberals take from those who excel and reward irresponsible behavior.

I believe liberals take established law and ignore it, when it suits their purpose.

Well, I would never live in Colorado because it wouldn't be legal to own my dog there. So, in Colorado it would be the right to choose to own an adorable loving pit bull. How's that for starters?

[Blindgreed1]

Oh, and as far as your legalization of weed in Colorado goes... Looks like some more work needs to be put into fine tuning those laws the Liberals are so quick to write: http://money.cnn.com/2015/06/15/news/com...index.html

[SIXFOOTERsez]

Yep, I have a bunch of assholes working can't wait ti its legal here. Bad news for them is your still not going to climb my towers with a head full of pot.

Wait just a minute....the individual States all have their own rules, but what does that have to do with Liberals banning choices...My grandson has a pit bull and after watching Pit Bull Rescue on Cable TV, I have decided this dog breed is really misunderstood and I love his dog. What does this have to do with topic at hand?

Your statement about Liberals being so quick to write this law, that it now needs tweaking is not much better......Wow, the nerve of them! Those dang Liberals can't do anything right, blah, blah, blah..........

I grew up in a very conservative/Republican family until I learned to think for myself.

The liberals are the ones pushing to ban pit bulls BB. Portland, Colorado, hell even in Canada. That's how my statement is relevant. Are you low on oxygen today?

Climbing towers stoned? Hell no, but the dude in Colorado was disabled and using it for medicinal purposes. I think the Colorado court ruling was a bit harsh (no pun intended).

[BlueTiki]

Those dang Liberals can't do anything right, blah, blah, blah..........

SB 1070 comes to mind. Challenged by liberals on an international scale. Claimed supporters were racist.

States individual abortion laws . . . constantly challenged by liberals.

It seems it's easier for liberals to allow a state to first champion a liberal cause instead of modifying an existing federal law . . . e.g.: Medical Weed

Or immediately challenge a state's law if it is in contrast with the liberal agenda . . . regardless if it is in sync with fed law.

Or laws in every other country on the face of the earth.

Liberals also demand equality for all, yet create protected classes.

It's Animal Farm equality.

If you are protected, you are "more" equal than others, thus causing inequality.

Liberals condemn non-PC words, thus obstructing freedom of expression and speech . . . This only applies to whites, Christians and Jews.

Liberals are the Borg.

[Midwest Spy]

I feel died in the wool liberals would love nothing more than to see the U.S. become a true socialist state.

[BlueTiki]

Liberals condemn Christian beliefs and those who practice them in order to establish a pure and exclusively secular world. Judeo Christian intolerance.

This . . . while encouraging religious tolerance of the Islamic faith.

Keep it up...you're on a roll.

[Maggot]

Liberals are beginning to hate being called liberals because that would be admitting the bad policies they back up. They may change it to humanists or something in order to be able to try and change reality which is another word they shy away from or just ignore. In a debate they will try like hell to change the subject in order to avoid harsh true rebuttals.
Yes they are the Borg until everyone is a Borg then they become something else. College professors get the virus from administration protocol and the current direction of the wind. Beware, school children are susceptible to liberal fiction through "indoctrination"
