Are you a Liberal or Conservative ? I am proud to be a Liberal, here is why

I am a US Army Combat vet. Maybe you should stop sucking up to the wealthy and the corporations that send our jobs overseas and start defending your people. What a shame.

"My people", and who would that be?
"sending our jobs overseas", and why did that happen?
"sucking up to the wealthy and corporations", in what way/form?

What are the taxes the largest corporation in the world (the U.S. Government) used for?

I just read the above exchange. You are a patient man. And thanks for your service. I answered a question that the commie sent to me, and then he jumped all over me, just like I knew he would. In the same breath he talks about freedom. I guess he means "freedom to agree with Che or die!". I don't think anyone really can be that stupid not to see that level of hypocrisy. Or maybe he is. What I do know is that no matter their intentions, lefties and commies are eating this nation like cancer. Free speech cannot exist within communism/socialism. If this commie could, he would make sure you and I never post on this site again. He would silence us. You and I, on the other hand, like to hear from Che and Joseph, because they run their mouths and do all the work for us. They expose themselves.

Man, I know what you mean.

Oh boy - a tough guy. I suspect you are a CT Teabagger and/or Kochsucker. You do well on your knees, I am sure, but your Americanism is questionable when you readily sell us real Americans out to the Fascist-Capitalist Pigs.
Sorry Mr. Pig, you have given so much more than the Fascist we call Pigs.

"Tough guy", Ya, I've been known to clear out a bar or two. I never was one to back down.

Nope, I have never been to one of those teabag things but I think they are on the right track. Kochsucker? I am not familiar with this term.

"Do well on my knees", no, I don't go that way. That's a liberal thing. Maybe you could hook up with Che and satisly eachother, IDK.

"Americanism is questionable", ya, ok. Like you know me or my patriotism.

"when you readily sell us real Americans out to the Fascist-Capitalist Pigs. " Who is "us"? You are sheeple to the biggest corporation on the face of the planet, the U.S. Government!!

I do know one thing, if you came spewing your crap in any of the VFW that I go to, you would be escorted outside and stomped.

BTW- I noticed a slight resembelance between you avatar and the first picture in your responce. Brother/cousin/ self portrait?

Hey! Was that you doing all that shooting at Ft. Hood? How did you get out of prison? Nevermind, I figured it out. Our Commander In Chief is a commie too.

Still waitin'. I can see you are selective in your answering of questions.

"My people", and who would that be?
"sending our jobs overseas", and why did that happen?
"sucking up to the wealthy and corporations", in what way/form?

He uses a Rebel Hate Rag as an Avatar. Has no redeeming quality, shows him as a KKK Hatriot.

You derived ALL that from an avatar of a flag? Maybe it is you that should go look in the mirror, IDK.

Where has Michael Moore been lately? Did you eat him? You kind of look like you did. Anyway, I know I'm not gonna make one dent in that know-it-all fat head of yours, but I'll try. Below is my answer to the question "What does the Confederate Flag Mean To You?" that I posted a few weeks ago:

Resistance to an over reaching federal/nationalist government. That's what it has always meant. I know that the libtards have convinced most people differently. And I don't deny that evil people with evil ignorant intentions used this flag to represent them. Are you going to tell that people haven't used Old Glory for the same type of things? The federal government was trying to end segregation, and rightly so. When local jurisdictions are allowing the murder and inhumane treatment of its citizens, then someone has to step in. That's what the feds did at that time during the end of segregation. The KKK high jacked this powerful flag of resistance for themselves, and they soiled it.

I do not think the feds should be telling me what car to drive, where to set my thermostat, control my heath care, ban my firearms, or any of the other nanny state B.S.. So to me, The Confederate Battle Flag means what it always: RESISTANCE TO AN UNCONSTITUTIONAL FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, southern style.

Skedaddle on back to the trailer park. Your wife aka sister is waiting for her PBR and Chewing tobacco.

Why so hateful?

...he himself claimed hatred as a Policy -- a Conservative.

"He", who is he?

I lost track!!!! Where the hell are my pills???

Me too, lol.

It's pretty obvious who the hater is, Che.

Hate mongering Che? Stay true to your beliefs and continue to contradict your post...name calling and intolerance... is the only way for Che!

We have this is common, I was also a democrat most of my life, coming from an immigrant
Italian family.. I believe there are still some good old fashioned democrats however not many.
I am very Conservative now and proud of it. I still share what I have not because its part of a week or a mandate, but because I want to. I have a gay daughter that I love and she is also a Conservative. I'm not a religious person but I know we were founded on Godly values and will fight to remain a Godly country.

Now in Europe they used to say, "If you are not a Socialist under 30, you have no heart. If you are not a Conservative over 50 you have no brain." Maybe true. But Socialist-Democrats have well straddled that line, and is both Humanistic and Social-Justice, with Capped Capitalist goals without Crippling Capitalist Greed. BTW - It is hard to say this but until Reagan gave the GOP to the Plutocrats, I was a Goldwater Republican. But I had a world wide Experience, and Education (on your Dime - thank you) and I came to realize only one Policy makes sence. I discuss it; http://www.sodahead.com/unite...

Well Che,
For the second time ever (in the same month I might add) I agree with you on something.

I do believe where we part the way is how this is carried out, which you state with your many "I" in your post but the liberal way is "yours". When you move from you volutarily taking your money to help others and go to taking MY money to do so how you see fit I have a BIG problem.

In doing so the liberals do exactly what they are supposedly against. I work hard for my money and I will donate and help who I choose to help NOT what the government decides to do with my money. Forcing people to do something against their will is not freedom.

I am happy you and I can agree from time to time. There may be hope for you and I yet. lol

I have no choice when it comes to which wars we spend our money on even though I am against them. I also have no choice which corporations get welfare. Should military funding come from that Americans donate money for wars they agree with ? Is that taking away my freedom ?

I am 100% with you on your beliefs (well, except for the religious part - I am a Catholic). when I see so many people who doing without due to no fault of their own, and then I women walking around in $300 shoes, men in $1,000 suits, and their kids dressed in similar fashion, I want to cry. These kids have gadget, gimmick that comes out. And for the most part, they think this is their due. I grew up in a household of 8 - mother, father, grandmother, 4 girls, one boy. The girls all shared one bedroom until we were old enough to be on our own. We had 1 1/2 baths, 1 TV for the entire family, 1 car - the family car. We never thought anything of it. We learned to SHARE!
Today each child MUST have their own room, their own tv, phone, computer, etc. I've seen signle family homes with as many as four and five cars parking in the driveway. What are they learning. that everything is ME ME ME!!! Whatever happened to the idea that we are all one family and as such must take care of one another.

Aunti,
You are so right. I grew up about the same as you. We were a family of 5 with 1 bathroom, one used car, and a 19" black and white TV. My best form of entertainment was my transistor radio and the public library down the street. We had to share, it was just part of life. Family ties were much closer.

But on the other hand we are more connected with the internet and are able to share more ideas with a wider group of people. I never could have even imagined that when I was young.

I had more or less the same life as Aunti except, I was the only surviving boy (2 bothers died in infancy) so I had the single room. My kids however, have their own rooms, their own Computers and Cell Phones. Hard to put the Jelly back in the Jar, and as sweet as many memories were, and useful in life, I wouldn't give up google for any of it. Also, I went to Vietnam 66~67, and was a Northern White Kid, and watched Black Americans killed and maimed. Then I came home to Biloxi Mississippi, to go to School, and was shocked, and dismayed at how horribly they treated Blacks who were dying in droves for them in Vietnam. I am unwilling, nor do I desire to go back to that crap again. America wasn't wonderful for all Americans in the 50s/60s.

Life has really changed, hasn't it?

Aunti:
No longer a Catholic, for that let it alone, but I gotta tell ya, I think I love you. What a special person you are. Nice to know ya kid......Uncle Joe

Thanks Uncle Joe. Not a kid though. The "good old days" don't seem that old to me.

Yeah, I know what ya mean. What my kids consider History, I lived through. My life ran according to so much of American History that I feel like Forest Gump - sorta involved in so much of it. Bet your a pretty little thing anyway.....

For someone like myself, who considers himself a real libertarian conservative, as opposed to the fake neo-conservative type. I actually, agree with most of your thoughts on the issues that you cover in this blog. You sound like a true liberal, as opposed to the fake neo-liberals today, who now justify illegal wars, and secret government spying on Americans, TSA groping people at airports and torture that they condemned just a few years ago when war criminal Bush and Cheney occupied the White House.

I'm curious however, what's your position on gun control? Do you agree with Thomas Jefferson who described himself as a "liberal" and said, "The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."

Or, do you go along with the neo-liberal position on gun control? Who believe that American citizens should be disarmed, because a armed general public is far more dangerous than an armed government.

I believe in responsible gun ownership. As long as you are law abiding citizen you shouldn't be hassled for owning guns. I do believe that risk factors like mental illness, violent criminal history, and excluding guns from political functions, and drinking establishments, do have their merits in law.

Because, I don't fit into any of those categories. I got no problem with your position on the 2nd amendment. Everyone should be a responsible person whether they own a gun, or a car, or a baseball bat.

I guess the only area of disagreement about a armed general public that I have. Is that all those conditions which you listed that should disqualify a person from owning a gun.

The government can now just label someone as a "violent mentally ill person" and prevent someone from owning a gun. Like secret "no fly, no buy" gun lists for example. No judge or jury, the government just puts you on a no fly list, and you can't fly or buy a gun.

One of the great things about living in Texas, is that there's a generally accepted belief among people, that you can own your gun no matter who you are. As long as I can have my gun to protect myself from you. You might be surprised to see how "civil" a collective public can behave, when almost everyone is armed.

I forgot to mention, I believe that anyone who is convicted of using a gun in the commission of a crime should receive life in prison without parole. I think that would serve as a way helping to teach that guns are only to be used for defense.

Now you're a hater who likes guns!!

Too funny! You can't make this stuff up!
