Woah that is a good one. Only I wish it didn't read liberalism and instead said "far-left" which is what socialism/communism is. I say this because the term "liberal" actually means FREEDOM. The latin root for liberal is LIBER which means FREE, unrestricted and unrestrained or LIBERTAD/LIBERTY which means FREEDOM.
Lately, I've been hearing many of you espousing freedom like it's the new cool thing to say. But do you really understand what it means? Because your words and actions don't add up. From what I've been hearing, many of you (on both sides) want freedom but only for those who think like you, look the way you want them to look, act the way you want them to act, live the way you want them to live and eat what you want them to eat. Well, here's a newsflash... that is NOT FREEDOM FOR ALL - that is a sign of a CONTROLLING ABUSIVE personality! and what's troubling to me is that these very people have been instrumental in voting other people into political office who feel the same.
I don't need you to love me, I don't even need you to like me nor do I need you to respect/accept my life's choices or lifestyle, all I ask is that you respect my God given right to exist on this planet and live and grow in the manner I choose. That is FREEDOM.
I was born into and raised in a very very liberal household and environment and everyone I grew up with, my mom and dad's friends and my extended family are freedom loving people that are RESPONSIBLE hard working people who are not what this definition describes. They are respectable self-reliant people who do not want government handouts, always concerned about others well being, giving back to their communities by doing CHARITABLE work. They are proponents of INDIVIDUAL CHARITY vs government charity. That way they have control over how their money is spent and are able to manage what needs are met within their communities. I just needed to point this out. It really bums me out to see the far-left call themselves liberal when they actually support socialist/communist principles. They have essentially highjacked the liberal term and have hijacked the US democratic party!!! :/

and I would like to add... they may not have been religious folks, but they did live by the credo treat others the way they want to be treated AND meant it.
That is not what I have been witnessing by the folks today who call themselves liberals who intimidate others by intentionally making other people feel bad who don't think the way they do or live the way they do, who want the government to dictate all of our behavior/lifestyles/choices, tax us all every which way they can and invade all of our privacy. These are not liberal, free minded principles, these are socialist/communist principles and I really wish you would all start calling yourselves that instead of giving liberals a bad name!
America represents opportunity, freedom to CHOOSE to become whomever and whatever we want and freedom to choose to live however we want as long as we are not causing anyone else harm and a right to privacy. That is the fundamental basis of our US Constitutional rights. BOTH US political parties have spit on, pissed on and mocked all of our US Constitional rights!
Oh and here is some food for thought, every other country on this planet is either socialist, communist or a theocracy and all are in dire straits, far far worse than we "feel" we are experiencing here in America. Although, it breaks my heart to point out that our country is heading down that path and the powers that be have accelerated the speed to which we arrive. :/ My friends that came here from foreign countries wanting freedom are shocked to see the direction our country is taking. My one wish is that Americans wake up to what is really happening to all of us in America.
