LIBERALISM IS EXTREME and this thread is all the proof anyone needs.
According to another poster, you will have to prove your assertion.

blather. everyone here knows what is meant by liberal. we arent talking about Adams. we are talking about modern American liberals. And yes there are statists in both parties.

He was right about one thing, though: There are a lot of smart, hard working people out there. Unfortunately for him, his minions aren't amongst those smart, hard working people.
Not so fast! There are a lot of smart hard working people who work hard to get those ObamaCare waivers, work hard to get those $500 million taxpayer guaranteed loans, work hard to get all sorts of Obama kickbacks and free stuff.

And work hard to waddle their fat butts into a motorized cart at Walmart so they can get their Twinkies with food stamps that I paid for. And then bellyache and complain because the Twinkies are on a shelf too high for them to reach from their motorized carts.

I stand corrected.

It is clear as a bell, from the pause used to put emphasis on the word "business" and then reemphasizing the word by verbally pointing to it and saying "that", it's clear he wanted his audience to know that he was referring to "business" and how business owners did not make their businesses happen on their own.

"If you've got a business, .... that, .... you didn't build that. Somebody else, made that happen."
Exactly. The context also includes his statments about people thinking they're doing well because they're so smart and are hard workers - he was trying to refute those points. In that effort he refers to the infrastructure etc.

Here's another interesting list of companies the left has planned to boycott that I found surfing through the internet. Prepare to laugh and take note.

From Liberal Info - List of Companies Supporting Right-Wing and Tea Party Causes and Candidates to Boycott





Is this insane or what? I thought it was a joke at first. I can't believe these people are seriously about to boycott all these companies. Good luck liberals.
Interesting that I didn't see any of the Science Channel or Discovery Channel shows listed under the Koch Brothers who are HUGE sponsors/donors to some pretty major programs on there. Guess they don't pay attention to whos paying for those?

Are you saying they are cheating on their little boycott list? LOL

These folks definitely have too much time on their hands. Maybe like some have said if they spent as much time trying to find a job as they do with this nonsense the country would be better off. Of course then some of their dollars would be stolen to pay for their buddies to laugh at em and boycott stuff so they would probably claim mental distress for getting bullied and go on disability in the end.
