The Myth of Live-and-Let-Live Liberalism | National Review Online

Excerpt:
Seriously, who else do people think are behind efforts to ban big sodas or sue hairdressers for charging women more than men? Who harasses little kids for making toy guns out of sticks, Pop Tarts, or their own fingers? Who wants to regulate the air you breathe, the food you eat, and the beverages you drink? Who wants to control your thermostat? Take your guns? Your cigarettes? Heck, your candy cigarettes? Who’s in favor of speech codes on campuses and “hate crime” laws everywhere? Who’s in favor of free speech when it comes to taxpayer-subsidized “art” and pornography (so long as you use a condom, if liberals get their way) but then bang their spoons on their high chairs for strict regulations when it comes to political speech? Who loves meddling, finger-wagging billionaires like Michael Bloomberg when they use state power and taxpayer money to herd, bully, and nudge people but thinks billionaires like the Koch brothers who want to shrink government are the root of all tyranny?

I'm a leftie, a social liberal, and I don't agree with any of that crap. Michael Bloomberg AND the Koch brothers can all kiss my ass.

These are not Liberals.......... There is no such thing as a social liberal. Liberal comes from the word Liberty.

if you are a true Liberal you want no laws. or rules for you and anyone else at all. You want no taxes either. You want nothing but Liberty and total Freedom, and don't care who has what.

These so called 'progressive liberals' are neither.

We conserves better get the terms right, because the proggy *******s will love to spin it and get it all confused.

With same sex marriage what it IS now there is going to be 0 tolerance for straights and discrimination rules and laws against straights. So much for tolerance.

The better term for the proggy *******s is red commies. They are red commies after all and they know it, but they don't want these words used.

Resist them. give them back 0 tolerance. BUY guns and ammo any time you can to show where you stand. Carry at all times and never let the proggy *******s push you around.

This PC failed experiment is enough...... They have created most of the social problems in the USA that we have now. 55 years of total BS. Time to take Freedom Back!

I find it interesting to know the FEDS will again be OUT of money in October and there is dead silence about that in the news!

Zerobama wants to bomb Syria at the same time he will have run out of pocket change...... No agenda there a bit

It's sort of pathetic when people from any political persuasion are so limited intellectually that they have to post opinions of others as their entire thread. Should you not be able to come up with your own ideas, then you're better off reading here than posting.

And yet, I have not seen one instance of homosexuals trying to deny heterosexuals the right to get married, or anything else for that matter.

Actually Liberals (if using the true deifnition of the word) are not the target at all. It is the Authoritarian progressives who should be the target of the American people's ire.
