so what does one think of when they think of the word LIBERAL?
i think of being FREE. at no cost. because God forbid we should EARN it...not like the Founding Fathers tried to or anything. anyone remember 1776?
i think of legalization of pot and reducing the drinking age to 18...because it all goes on underground anyway, right? but...what kind of ROLE MODELS are we that we are saying it's OKAY to be DRUNK at 18 and to be HIGH all the time? what STANDARDS are we setting?
i think of the word hypocritical...okay, so we can save the lives of criminals (and Obama supports capital punishment anyway) and we won't go to war, but yet, because a woman makes a stupid mistake in judgement, it should be okay to kill a LIVING, BREATHING life. makes a WHOLE lot of sense.
i think of BILL CLINTON...just hearing the names gives me a knot in my stomach. because it's perfectly okay that he was president for eight years and engaged in one of the most unethical acts that a human being can engage in. i also think of ELIOT SPITZER..oh, what a guy! notice how they're both liberal democrats.
i think of other people who are liberal who say they are so accepting, and yet, if you're not liberal, they don't accept you. someone explain that one to me.
i think of people like Al Sharpton who think that everything that could possibly be a racist slur is indeed a racist slur.
i'm not saying that every liberal is just like this. because most of my friends lean to the left and we have an understanding (true friendship right there...no sarcasm). i know i'm generalizing. who knows? i don't think Obama is a bad guy...i'd take him over Hillary any day.
BUT...disrespect and lack of ethics and accountability in this country has gone FAR ENOUGH. i thought McCain was going to be the guy to change that. not saying Obama isn't ethical and accountable...because while he very much may be, most of my own generation, obviously excluding my friends because i pick carefully, isn't. which is exactly why they voted for Obama...they figured that now, their voices of disrespect can be heard....because that's what LIBERALS do. they are too trusting that people being accountable to themselves is enough. well, guess what...it's not. that's why we have LAWS. and i kind of feel bad for Obama, because i'm sure he is a very responsible person who is going to trust that everyone else is responsible too. but if you give a little, guess what happens. all people want is MORE.
and distribution of wealth...isn't that called socialism? so, it's okay to exercise all kinds of freedom, but when it comes to money, we can't. God forbid we spend our money the way we want.
dear Mr. President...prove me wrong. show me that the next four years won't be the era of demise of the United States of America.

one sad conservative.

Not all liberals want all of the things you accuse them of wanting. I am a liberal, and I certainly don't want to be drunk and high all the time. I have never done any drug, and I very rarely have a drink. Your thoughts about liberals are STEREOTYPES. How can you expect liberals to accept conservatives when conservatives do not take the time to understand a liberal point of view? About abortion, the point is that a woman should be able to make her own decision in that case. Government should not be able to impose over what happens within my body. Again, I would personally never get an abortion. There is something called separation of church and state. I am a Catholic and I personally believe that life beigns at conception, but scientifically, it begins when the fetus is viable. Scientifically, abortion is not murder.
When I think of conservatives, I think of those who are incredibly closed-minded, and through this blog entry, you have proved my point.
This is the most infuriating blog entry I've ever read, and it goes to prove that you have very little understanding of politics and left and right except for what the Catholic Church has taught you. It's people like you that make me fear for our generation. Please pick up a book about politics and broaden your horizons. You should know that socialism isn't bad, it's only bad when abused...much like democracy. You should also understand that civil rights such as abortion shouldn't fall to the government to regulate. It's a woman's choice. YOU as a woman should be able to empathize. And lastly it's completely asinine to judge a presidency based upon a mistake that many men make and regret constantly. I'm not saying he's justified or forgiven, but I'm saying it shouldn't be the focal point to judge his presidency.
I respect your opinion, but I wish it was a little more...open.
