    Understanding "Liberal" and "Liberalism"

    crazycajun:

     

     one more little fact that USUALLY keeps liberals from banning alcohol at the local level. ...

     

     

    Actually, liberals are far less inclined to ban things as they are to permit them.   

     

    Relative permissiveness is the essence of true liberalism, which celebrates individual freedom and personal choice – the guiding principle upon which our United States of America was founded as a nation. 

     

    Unfortunately, real liberals today are few and far between and darned hard to find anywhere along the political spectrum.  That is a shame.

     liberal thinking is usually FREE SPENDING type of thought. as in, it's not my money, why should i be frugal with it? let's spend it like there is no tomarrow, because tomarrow we'll tax the people again, and again, and again. we have a never ending supply of money to throw at problems and social programs.

    now, when the leftists got tired of being pegged as "red", for communist, or "pink" for socialist, they instead took to themselves the monicer 'LIBERAL'.

    the liberal media has even turned the whole 'color code' around and named the leftists "blues", (take TRUEBLUE-TRUE/FALSE for example.

    he has allowed the recent rantings of the leftist liberals in media to rot his brain.

    i say we go back to calling a spade a spade, and a communist a communist.

     one of the definitions of LIBERAL in the webster's dictionary is:

     

    LIBERAL: LACKING MORAL RESTRAINT.

     

    a very telling definition, i must say. fitting.
