ParticipantHaha
All this talk of science is just un obfuscation of the real issue.
Bottom line, “liberals” just like to murder babies as a recreational activity…
Put some thought into your generalizations!
Participant[quote]Actually Joe, you are confused.
The context here is tea party christian facist Christine O’Donnell insisting on the teaching of Creationism in public school science class…
That’s NOT liberals telling people what to think.
That’s right-wing conservatives telling people what to think.[/quote]
joe…not quite…
My comment was an aside. I do not give a damn about O’donnell, and I have no desire to defend her. I do not think the government should have any say about what is taught in schools…back to that pesky liberty thing again.
But I agree with your feeling about some of the conservatives when it comes to some pretty limited issues. Some of those right wing conservatives are just as fascist as left wing “liberals” or is it progressives, I forget.

Participant[quote]But I will note that conservative (I hate that term. They are really classical liberals — meaning actually liberal — generally, while those labeled “liberal” are generally fascist and want to control what you say, think, and do, right down to your diet and choice of light bulbs.)[/quote]
I love it…
I don’t understand why this is not more understood. What is funny to me is not that this term is corrupted, but more that the euphemism treadmill seems to roll on when a term is used in a disingenuous way. Liberal (as in someone who is for liberty) was once a good term, one that was a compliment. How could you not be for liberty. So democrats wrapped themselves in liberty. But as they did this their policies of tax, spend, regulate, and just all around control everyone got a bad name. They soured the word liberal (liberty) because they were anything but, and now have to move on. So on to the next euphamism! Progressive. I think this may be Dead on Arrival though.
Now if only conservatives could be more for liberty and less for gripping the past through coercion. I guess the libertarians use the root word correctly, and they sure aren’t going to give it up… If only they could piece together a coherent foreign policy.

ParticipantPut me on the list of people who would buy a compact diesel truck or suv…I would even consider buying a new one. (I have never purchased a new car)
