Liberals

Last night I was listening to The Patriot a radio station dedicated to Conservative talk. I didn't catch the background but what sounded like a twenty-something college age kid was interviewed. The question was asked "What is the most important issue for you during this election year?" Based on her answers, I knew she was a lefty. Who could be this ignorant but liberals.

Answer: "We need to completely withdraw from Iraq without condition. This war is costing us too much money".

When asked if there was anything else, she said she wanted a more "Constitutionalists" government. She was upset that Bush was abusing the Executive office and wanted a president who would respect the office. (Like Clinton did with his girlfriends I guess?) When asked about Gun Control and the case before the Supreme Court questioning the constitutionality of the DC Gun Ban. (For those unaware, it is illegal to own a handgun in DC; one can purchase a permit for a rifle or shotgun but it must be disassembled and locked up at all times) her response about floored me.

Answer: "I don't see anything wrong with banning certain handguns.....Despite what statistics may say, I don't believe gun ownership curbs crime; those statistics can be twisted....." After awhile, she went on to talk about how guns hurt people, especially children.

This goes to show liberals know about as much about history as I know how to see 20/20. (For those unaware I'm legally blind)

As for the war costing too much money, when did liberals suddenly become concerned about spending? Are we spending too much on their "War on Poverty"? How about Government Schools? What about the Government Health care liberals are touting? nuff said.

Also, If we withdraw from Iraq without condition, we give the terrorists a victory which will embolden them. Remember Vietnam? What happened after we withdraw from South Vietnam? The North marched in and took that country over and our country was demoralized for years to come. How about Munich 1938? Did Hitler stop invading countries after appeasement? Nope, it took a very bloody World War and the murder of millions to stop him. Did the Ruskies fear us while Carter was playing nic? (answer, NO) Regardless of what the left thinks, based on facts, the surge IS working. Granted, I think we ought to be fighting this war more like we fought WWII, but regardless, cutting and running isn't an option. If we do that, we will have multiple September 11ths. Bottom line: The left can't wrap it's collective head around the fact we were attacked and regardless of what you may think of Bush, we're at war. They also can't come to the realization if we give in to dictators, it sends the wrong message.

It also goes to show you liberals know NOTHING about our Constitution. As much as I disagree with President Bush on certain issues (amnesty for illegals, reckless spending, kissing up to Mexico, his love affair with outsourcing American jobs) how has he abused the Executive branch? I doubt this lefty could provide facts proving her point. My Sister in Law is a Democrat and she tried to tell me the same thing without providing evidence. Sorry libs, I need concrete facts, not the latest screed from Moveon.org.

I also wonder what part of the Second Amendment this liberal doesn't understand? For somebody who wants to a "Constitutionalists" president, she's sure willing to play fast and loose with it. When cities try to ban handguns, that is infringing on some body's right to own a gun. Sound pretty unconstitutional to me. Truth is liberals want "Selective Constitutionalism" Simply put, if it's not in there (like abortion, protection for gay marriage, absurd "rights" given to criminals, protection for sodomy and limiting expressions of religion because of "Separation of Church and State, not to mention race quotas etc) they add it. If there is an amendment they don't like (the First and Second Amendments for example) it's ignored or stupidly interpreted.

I got a kick out of her statement "facts can be manipulated" Her statement can be translated....."We know if we argue facts, you right wingers will demolish us in the arena of ideas, so we'll just revert back to the your-facts-are-twisted argument and call you names like sexist, racist, homophobes etc"

If I don't laugh I'll cry.
