Liberalism is Communism one drink at a time. - P.J. O'Rourke
If only it was even as good as that Liberalism is more imprisoning than communism ever thought of being while hiding under the fake facade of true freedom..... Its much better when poision is labeled poison, tastes like poison, and everyone knows its poison.....rather than thinking and being told its free jelly doughnuts instead.... take care Blll |

People still buy cigarettes.... How can anyone possibly explain why vast numbers of people will continue to buy something that burns their mouths and lungs, makes the eyes sting, smells bad, makes food taste bad, is likely to burn themselves, their friends, and their possessions, and is deadly poisonous to boot, and even claim that they 'enjoy' it? Perhaps liberalism is to politics what tobacco is to recreation. Maybe JFK was right after all, when he claimed that he was a jelly doughnut. :-) |

Thomas Jefferson would likely be appalled to hear liberalism likened to "poison". Some people have no sense of humor. :-( All right, you want to play it that way, Thomas Jefferson would likely be appalled to hear what modern day liberalism espouses (socialism, restrictions on freedom of speech on campus and in the press, restrictions on the right to bear arms, restrictions on the right to practice your religion, racial quotas, seizure of personal property for public use without compensation, abandonment of morals, restrictions on campaign advertising and financing, etc.). Thomas Jefferson liberals are what we call conservatives nowadays. Most liberals hate Jefferson and tar his reputation and his principles whenever they can. Modern day liberals portray Jefferson as an oppressive white slave owner and rapist, an establishment figure tied to big money and corrupt politics. If Jefferson is mentioned in public schools at all, it is to highlight the shameful and oppressive past of the white male dictators that established the United States. That is all most modern grade school kids know about Jefferson. |

Thomas Jefferson liberals are what we call conservatives nowadays. Nonsense. If a free-thinking humanist like Jefferson were around today, espousing things like the separation of church and state and the importance of public education (which he all but invented), you'd probably dismiss him as a left-wing whacko. Most liberals hate Jefferson I don't suppose you've got the slightest data to back up this assertion, do you? and tar his reputation and his principles whenever they can. Modern day liberals portray Jefferson as an oppressive white slave owner and rapist, an establishment figure tied to big money and corrupt politics. If Jefferson is mentioned in public schools at all, it is to highlight the shameful and oppressive past of the white male dictators that established the United States. That is all most modern grade school kids know about Jefferson. This must be a relatively recent develepment, because I for one can't recall ever being taught any such thing. You're basically just making this up, aren't you? |

Thomas Jefferson would likely be appalled to hear liberalism likened to "poison". Thomas Jefferson was a classic liberal. When people use the term "liberal" or "liberalism" today they are referring to modern liberalism. Classic liberalism and modern liberalism are polar opposites. |

Turn off Sean Hannity's rants for 10 seconds and get yourselves together. Sheesh. Jefferson would puke if he were exposed to today's so called liberalism. |
