Liberalism is a mental disorder

[_EAllusion]

The "big tent" line was more specifically in reference to Republicans being open to both pro-choicers and pro-lifers. How's that working out these days?

Abraham Lincoln instituted progessive income tax.

Shows how much YOU KNOW.....

1. Your "progressive" tax wasn't "progressive" in your meaning of the word.

2. It was a TEMPORARY TAX to be used ONLY TO FUND THE WAR to end in 1866!!!

John Sherman authored the Sherman Anti-trust act.

So what??? Republicans are "Conservatives", which means we are FOR "BASIC" laws to create a stable and lawful society.

We are not "libertarians" who are Anarchists who want to legalize everything.
"Basic" Anti-Trust Law is an important force to help prevent Monopoly's.

What we are against is government overreach that infringes on basic liberties.
What "light bulb" we can use is an example of such liberal fascist overreach.

Theodore Roosevelt established a Bureau of Corporations to regulate big businesses, and brought Anti-Trust suits, His "square deal" was founded on 3 principles: Conservation of natural resources, control of corporations and Consumer Protection. Sounds more like Elizabeth Warren than Scott Brown. He denounced “the representatives of predatory wealth” as guilty of “all forms of iniquity from the oppression of wage workers to defrauding the public." Somehow I don't think the 2012 GOP platform will contain the same language.

Again, so what....??? Republicans have always been for basic responsible government, business, and environment.

Of course it won't contain the same language, because we don't have those CLEAR problems today like they had then. The basic laws necessary are in place. Of course, there are also too many, and liberals have taken it too far, so there are things to fix now, but in the other direction.

See, what you don't understand, is we go after truth, fact, and right.
We don't make corporations the "boogy-man" like you liberals do today, misrepresenting nearly all corporations, lying, demonizing, etc. Your's is the politics of ENVY, GREED, and poisoning the well by picking "classes" against each other, not in what's true and right, and actual problems that exist.

Prescott Bush was the Treasurer of Planned Parenthood.

1. I've never said that all Republicans were 100% Conservative.

2. Planned Parenthood early on wasn't necessarily considered a "bad" thing. Most didn't know some of it's more sinister side. It is perfectly reasonable for someone to have been a part of something, then changing their mind, realizing it's not a good thing.

Do ANY of the Bush's seem "pro-abortion" to you??? Use your brain.

Richard Nixon took us off the Gold Standard and introduced Wage and Price Controls (talk about interfering with a free market!). He also started the E.P.A., which is about as popular with Republicans as a Lady GaGa concert at a Gay Pride Parade.

1. Nixon was kinda of a butthead....

2. Contrary to liberal misrepresentation, most conservatives/republicans don't give a crap about the "Gold Standard". That issue is more of a libertarian mantra. Republicans understand that if done correctly, there is no need for a gold standard because it's actually a worse thing in several ways.

3. Yes, wage and price controls, idiot.

4. The E.P.A wasn't a bad thing when it started. Problem is, it became a Liberal bastion of power. It's liberal misuse and abuse of E.P.A. power for their own radical agenda that makes Republicans hate it today. Liberals have taken over many key government agency's to achieve their means as well as colleges and schools.

George H.W. Bush fathered the Americans with Disabilities Act, which I doubt would make it against today's anti-regulatory mindset.

Like I said above.... KEY/BASIC regulations that protect ALL rights, are a reasonable thing and very much Republican and Conservative. Those with Disabilities have had a much better life because of that regulation compared to before.

Both parties have become less heterogeneous, more ideologically pure and less inclusive. You certainly aren't hearing a lot of Lee Atwater's "Big Tent" rhetoric nowadays. But to say both parties were 'conservative' because they both had 'traditional American values' is to be so vague as to define nothing. Do child labor laws, the EPA and the FDA reflect 'traditional American Values?'

Nope.... And stawman.....

Anyway, I've clearly shown that your "quote mining" liberal propaganda is nothing but misrepresentation and lies.
Me, I studied..... to know the actual truth. You, you regurgitate the propaganda..... and don't think and study for yourself.

It looks like a couple of liberals snuck into the Republican convention...

Two people were removed from the Republican National Convention in Florida after they allegedly threw nuts at a black camera operator and subjected him to racist abuse.

Sky News

[_ldsfaqs]

Is that kinda like the "racist" abuse Rep John Lewis (Dem-GA) received and claimed by the liberal media said by Republicans?

FYI, cameras and audio everywhere, yet not a single found example of anyone calling him "nigger".
Even a large reward by Breitbart couldn't produce the evidence.

See, what you people don't get is that liberals claim racism against conservatives simply because we don't like you. If the event in question WAS done by conservatives, I wouldn't be surprised if the cameraman was a racist and bigoted black liberal, and he had nuts thrown at him because of his OWN statements, and then simply falsely accused the conservatives of racism, just as liberals do all the time, and even happened with me in the Marines.

Anyway, show the proof....
Not that there has never been a racist conservative, I see one on very rare occasion.
But, the vast majority of the actual racists are on the liberal side, black and white.

What liberals just can’t seem to understand is that there is a difference between racism, and legitimate racism. The later is exceptionally rare because the human body has ways of preventing legitimate racism from happening. Also, if the liberals would take a moment and look objectively at what the cameraman was wearing, they'd see that he was obviously asking for it.

Abraham Lincoln instituted progessive income tax.

Shows how much YOU KNOW.....

1. Your "progressive" tax wasn't "progressive" in your meaning of the word.

Let's just start with this: What could my meaning be when describing this tax as 'progressive'?

[_ldsfaqs]

Doesn't matter.... The FACTS of the issue clearly state that it was meant to be a "temporary" measure to FUND THE WAR...!!!

Don't know about you, but in a time a CRISIS, no matter the kind, everyone tightens their belts and try to help out, and are asked to help out.

Deal with that fact, before we move on to the more intricate details.
In other words, stop misrepresenting the facts AND Lincoln first, and then maybe we can have more productive communication.

You can't call Lincoln "liberal" with that one time action, likewise you can't call Bush liberal because his one time initial bank help. Temporary assistance is far different from Government Welfare of businesses and otherwise. Obama's only slowed down because of two reasons, people don't want to give the government money as much, and because of the election, he doesn't want more fodder against him. But still, the time he did engage, good heavens!!!

Seriously, is someone paying you to say this stuff?

Nope, it's simply the facts. No one called the Democrat the "n" word, plenty of camera's and audio around. That's a fact.
I see liberals falsely accusing conservatives of racism all the time, while I almost never see a racist conservative, and I'm around all kinds of them. That's a fact.

So, what problem are you having with what I'm stating?
Oh I know.... You actually think liberal propaganda and fantasy's are the same as actual fact and reality???

Sorry, it's not. Our ideology is what freed the slaves, our ideology Mormon and non Mormon were the Abolitionists. Again, more facts. Liberal revisionist history is not actual history.

Oh, I don't have ANY problem with what you're stating. I only wish they would have given the mic to someone like you at the republican convention.

by the way, what was the "southern strategy"?
