You can write wordy gibberish better than just about anyone I've ever
read.
The engine roars, the wheels are spinning and smoking, but the car is
chained to the ground and goes nowhere.

I may be verbose but it's not gibberish when the growing complications and
ramifications are just daily routine now in the news. You are a fool. One of
either the third or fourth generation of the world's "useful idiots."

You are clearly an idiot.

phosphor on my monitor glow in such a way as to indicate that:

what it is that the "Conservatives", whose name is based on "Conserve,"
which means "to save", hate about the idea of people wanting to preserve
their Liberty.

You apparently thought lots of moronic things.

Yes, I have, much like everyone else has.

I, however, am superior, because I _admit_ my moronicity, whilst the other
morons are in denial of their stupidity, which causes them to become
Bu****es, and forget the meaning of the word "Liberty", and cast personal
insults to distract your putative foes from the topic at hand.

And, of course, the _really, really_ moronic things I think of, I don't
act on, which is the opposite of what the Bu****es do when they think
moronic things. When _they_ think moronic things, and get a
trillion-dollar credit line to buy stealth bombers and **** and KILL
PEOPLE!

I don't kill people. They do.

The choice is quite clear. Do you worship Life, or do you worship Death?

Thanks,
Rich

It was, before the term was co-opted by the socialists starting in the
1930s. That's why many "classical" liberals have taken to calling
themselves "libertarians" instead. With your 'nym, I'd have thought you'd
understand that a lot better.

And this paragraph illustrates perfectly *why* the socialists wanted to co-
opt the word "liberal" so badly, so that those who attack socialism to
conserve liberty can be accused of attacking liberty itself.


How clever. You've not only re-labeled me, but weaseled out of answering
the question.

What is it you "conservatives" hate about "freedom?"

Or are you simply terrified, and in denial of your terror?

Thanks,
Rich

Speaking of which, do you think there would be a market for cast
personal insults?
Say something like "Oh yeah? Well, screw you!" in bronze or lucite?

(Cut to image of the Hobbits trying to figure out if Bilbo had just
insulted them or not with his birthday speech.)

The Vorlons say that understanding is a three edged sword.
Life, death, and really top quality sharp cheddar cheese.
I've made my choice...have you?

You're welcome,
Pat

When are you going to stop beating your wife? And who's "relabeling" now?

The words are related, certainly. However, the ideas they represent are
related only superficially. The noun "liberty" means freedom to act.
The adjective "liberal" means expansive.
