Yeah.  Think about it, Obama is considered a "liberal".

By who?


By the liberals and the conservatives.

Both are, as always, totally wrong.

when you talk about the liberals, are you referring to the masses of people in the country that have truly liberal ideas? or are you talking about the handful of jackasses in the congress that claim that moniker?  Same with the conservatives....

Ftr, I think both those labels are inadequate, anyways, but don't let them narrow the window simply by co-opting our political language....
That makes it too damned easy for them.

I think you're confused. There aren't any truly liberal people in this country, haven't been for a long time.

Aren't you a self professed liberal?
don't you have any friends that are of like mind?


I know you guys are being tongue in cheek indicating that you feel that those with a truly 'liberal' outlook are in some insignificant minority, but i think perhaps you are selling yourself short by believing this.
likewise, the 'truly conservative' people i know often sell themselves short in the same way.

of course, it's probably simply a failure on the part of the vocabulary, as those terms are not properly defined, and are inadequate, which is my beef with the whole deal...

Heh.

I can name the people who support both amendments II AND IV on one hand.  Hell, I can name the people who support amendment VIII on one hand.

Patrick Henry and Thomas Paine represented the classic ideals of liberalism, and if they came back to life today, they'd wear their boots out kicking everyones' arses.

really?  perhaps i'm missing something here...
I know a good amount of people that support them, although they would consider themselves 'conservative'.
Is there some finer point of interpretation that makes you think i am likely wrong in this assessment?

exactly.  the terms are muddied.

The terms are meaningless.  They are fistfulls of poop that the "other side" can fling around.

I would consider Franklin, Henry, and Paine to be actual liberals.

I would consider Taft to be an actual conservative.

Neither example applies to any major segment of our population today.

Oddly enough, at most political boards, I am considered a "terrorist enabler" or a "terrorist sympathyzer".

Beck thinks Obama is more at risk from imaginary leftist radical terrorists than actual racists, despite the fact there are now two trials concerning the latter trying to kill him, and none of the former.

Iason Ouabache

Obama is un-American for using his first name:

QuoteBECK: He chose to use his name, Barack, for a reason. To identify, not with America -- you don't take the name Barack to identify with America. You take the name Barack to identify with what? Your heritage? The heritage, maybe, of your father in Kenya, who is a radical? Really? Searching for something to give him any kind of meaning, just as he was searching later in life for religion.

:lulz: This is hilarious!

What's an "American" name? By this logic, my friend Fiona is using her given first name to identify with her Irish parentage and mark her as a radical Protestant. What the hell does that make my first name? Maybe I should run for office, since my first name is American indian, making me a REALLY REAL AMERICAN, unlike the President of the United States.

And that George Bush, OBVIOUSLY using his first name to identify with Great Britain, indicating that he opposed US independence and wanted to see us back under the Crown.
