General Zinni on Sixty Minutes

After an exhausting session with Victoria's Secret Police, "Steven
P. McNicoll" confessed the following:

You're confusing classic liberalism with modern liberalism. When people
speak of liberals or liberalism today they're referring to modern
liberalism.

Simply trying to pin you down on your definition.

Feel free to give me as many examples (as you can) think of that
demonstrate liberalism "is about controlling people." This should be
fun.


Medicare, Social Security, minimum wage laws, national health care, welfare,
race-based quotas, income redistribution, etc., etc., etc.

Hmmm, Social Security is about controlling people? Minimum wages are
about controlling people? Universal health care is about controlling
people? Affirmative action...raced based quotas...got it. The only bit
of information that would complete my picture of you would be for you
to tell us, "I'm a god fearing christian...a compassionate
conservative."

I can't think of a single person that is getting rich off social
security. Folks living on the minimum wage are working multiple ****ty
paying jobs. Yeah those minimum wage workers love how they control
your life.

Health care...sister in law now in her 5th (and final more than
likely) year of fighting cancer, her teenage son with Down syndrome,
her husband with life threatening neurological disorder (his dad is
dying from it right now)...anyway, her meds cost $500+ and health
insurance premiums cost $700 per month. This ain't just some faceless
statistic to me...it's family.

Yeah she's controlling your life...

Income redistribution? Progressive income tax anybody? Got *any* idea
about the size of the tax burden on your grand children ( going
forward) to pay for the invasion and subsequent "nation building"
exercise? Don't blame liberals for this expense...suck it up and boast
about it.

YMMV

I'm not sure why you think the tax burden from the most recent war is so
bad. Debt as a percentage of GNP has be higher in the past yet the US
managed pretty well.
