Classical Liberalism vs. Modern Liberalism :

....."Today's Democrats Are Not Real Liberals"

"These days, a 'liberal' is usually considered to be someone who is pro-choice, anti-war, and in favor of gun control. Liberals are also likely to support progressive taxation on income, campaign finance limits, a minimum wage, and government subsidies to health care, education, and housing."

The definition of liberalism has changed greatly over time

American liberals in 1776, the most famous of which are known as the Founding Fathers, supported limiting the power of government as much as possible. They believed that government powers needed checks at every turn, and that power would naturally corrupt.

But it in the modern day, the American liberal is associated with an ideology that supports ever-expanding government powers intended to correct the ills of society. To the modern American liberal, there is no problem that a politician should not be able to solve. The modern American liberal believes the government is needed to even the playing field, and redistribute from those who have to those who have not. The modern American liberal foresees the government making our lives pain-free and directing society towards prosperity.

Simply put, the modern American liberal has an ideology based in pure fantasy.

Classical liberalism in its simplest sense meant advocacy of limited government permitted only to fulfill its role of protecting life, liberty, and property.

Antiliberalism captured the popular mind disguised as true and genuine liberalism. Today those styling themselves liberals are supporting programs entirely opposed to the tenets and doctrines of the old liberalism. They disparage private ownership of the means of production and the market economy, and are enthusiastic friends of totalitarian methods of economic management. They are striving for government omnipotence, and hail every measure giving more power to officialdom and government agencies.

In 1975, Ronald Reagan said, “I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism.” At their best, these and other anti-statist philosophies share a heart of classical liberalism—a flame of liberty which no amount of renaming can put out.

now the era of “Hope and Change,” modern liberalism has done little to recommend itself as a philosophy productive of liberty or equality, whatever its claims to those principles may be. Indeed, on most counts I whole-heartedly agree with the critics of liberalism. Where I disagree, however, is the notion that these policies are liberal. The garden variety American statist may have laid claim to the liberal title, but he does not possess its philosophical pedigree.

...YOU'RE NOT A LIBERAL!
"More and more these days, people who call themselves "liberals" have bumper-sticker philosophies that are liberal -- they're not even leftist. They're infantile. In his latest FIREWALL, Bill Whittle dissects one of these childish, undeservedly self-righteous positions and compares the modern "liberal" to the real deal."

....Modern Liberalism : Liberalcrat


Oscar Wilde :
Writer (1854–1900)

........Oscar Wilde once said, "Liberals not only avoid logic, they detest it".

Bob the Builder replied, "The very act of liberalism defies logic!"

Use Liberal Logic

A key talking point is with gun control. Liberals must argue to the death that no one--even the military--should have guns because, guns kill little children. "Only police officers can be trusted to have guns, but not Tasers" according to recent liberal politician, now retired, Al Gore. He went on to say, "Tasers are too effective of a weapon to trust to your average Joe Bob Cop. Because we liberals do not trust police and think that they have one lone brain cell, drive pickup trucks, and have an awful rash." Still a valid point today. Therefore, no one should be trusted with guns. Except police. Who cannot be trusted with Tasers. So hand over you iPod, wallet, cell phone and keys to your Volvo to your potential attacker, then run away with a trail of sewage behind you, so the police know how to find you should you forget how to contact them from fear paralysis.

......Disguising & Distorting the true meaning :

"Assault Rifle" : A Term Applied by the Left Wing Democrats.....Bill Clinton and his band of Anti-2nd Amendment Democrats, redefined the meaning of Semi-Auto Rifles and began lies to distort the facts on the public. The Term "Assault Weapons" was given to apply a more Sinister & Evil touch to semi-auto rifles by the gun grabbing leftist of the democrat party .

"Gun Control" : The True Meaning - "The Disarmament of The Constitutional Rights, of The Law Abiding Citizens

"Common Sense" Gun Control Laws : The True meaning : No Self Defense "Gun Control Laws".

[Oscar Knight]

.....The Modern Liberal Democrats invented Federal "Gun Control Laws", however, these Laws has never worked to deter violent crime. This makes me wonder about the Logic behind these "Gun Control Laws". During discussions, with these Gun Control Democrats, they fold up like a cheap lawn chairs. When faced with Discussions about their own "Gun Control" Legislation, this comes out to be their Achilles’ heel” or vulnerability spot....Maybe they are Blinded by their own ignorance, refuses to accept the facts, relies of the ignorance of The American People, or has this silly lopsided notion, that they can buy us off with free government handouts to keep us dumb & stupid. It's no wonder why these Democrats wants to take away our Second Amendment Rights, for Free Speech, on The Internet.

.....U.S. Democrat Senator Dianne Feinstein Assaulting Our 1st Amendment Rights to Free Speech :

We have already seen how Dianne Feinstein interprets our Second Amendment Rights......How does she interpret our First Amendment Rights ?

.....She claims that any child can start a website; Her gun control bill wasn't defeated by kiddies or hate groups, it was defeated by our First and Second Amendment Rights.

Feinstein: First Amendment Is A Special Privilege, Not A Right!
