Liberal

Barack Obama advocates the use of Keynesian economic concepts despite the fact that the pedophile John Maynard Keynes was incompetent and a fraud.^[1]

A liberal (also leftist) is someone who rejects logical and biblical standards, often for self-centered reasons though some may practice Cafeteria Christianity. There are no coherent liberal standards; often a liberal is merely someone who craves attention, and who uses many words to say nothing.^[2] Liberalism began as a movement for individual liberties, but today is increasingly statist and, as in Europe, socialistic. Liberalism has changed over the years and degenerated into corruption.

For example, Franklin Delano Roosevelt firmly believed in private sector unions, but vehemently opposed and condemned public sector unions, stating that the idea of collective bargaining can't be transferred to the public sector, as that would result in the government being unable to carry out its duties. Yet today, decades later, Democrats and liberals are almost in bed with public sector unions, as they "donate" money to the re-election campaign in exchange for more taxpayer money in their wallets and fluffed up pensions.

Polling data over several decades has consistently shown more Americans identify themselves as conservative than liberal, by a ratio of 2-1.^[3] A liberal generally supports many of the following political positions and practices:

Taxpayer-funded and/or legalized abortion
Censorship of teacher-lead prayer in classrooms and school sponsored events
Support for gun control
Support of obscenity, pornography and violence in video games as a First Amendment right^[4]
Income redistribution, usually through progressive taxation
Government-rationed medical care, such as Universal Health Care
Killing puppies, and other similarly dastardly things!
Taxpayer-funded and government-controlled public education
The denial of inherent gender differences
Putting Terrorists such as Obama into high political positions
Insisting that men and women be placed in the same jobs in the military
Legalized same-sex marriage
Tax and spend
Trying to impede the freedoms of others
Promoting the sale of our children to the chinese
Implementation of affirmative action
Political correctness, the opposition of free speech
Support of labor unions
Teaching acceptance of promiscuity through sexual "education" rather than teaching abstinence from sex.^[5]
A "living Constitution" that is reinterpreted as liberals prefer, rather than how it was intended
Government programs to rehabilitate criminals
Abolition of the death penalty

Serial killer John Wayne Gacy was a Democratic Party activist who had his picture taken with First Lady Rosalynn Carter in 1978. In an interview where he denied killing any of his victims, John Gacy said he was bisexual and "very liberal".^[6]

Reinstating the Fairness Doctrine
In 2005, it was reported by CBS News that liberals were the most likely supporters of the theory of evolution. The theory of evolution is a key component of atheistic ideologies in the Western World.
Opposition to domestic wire-tapping as authorized in the Patriot Act
Calling anyone they agree with a "professor" regardless of whether he earned that distinction based on a real peer review of his work (see, e.g., Richard Dawkins and Barack Obama).
Opposition of Operation Iraqi Freedom, a major part of the War on Terrorism.
Withholds support to our armed forces fighting overseas to protect their freedoms.
Promote arrogance through what they consider superior lifestyles.
Tolerance of wrongheaded ideas and lifestyles.
Supports financially irresponsible policies.
Opposition to conservative bias
Opposition to "having a laugh"

Do not support a free-market economy and support regulation of business.
"The long romance of Western leftists with some of the bloodiest regimes and political movements in history is a story not told often enough ...."^[9]
Support of leftist ideologies such as socialism and nazism
Encouragement of global warming alarmism.

According to current dictionaries and their own beliefs, a liberal is "a person who favors a political philosophy of progress and reform and the protection of civil liberties" or "a person who favors an economic theory of laissez-faire and self-regulating markets,"^[10] or "open-minded or tolerant, especially free of or not bound by traditional or conventional ideas, values, etc." or "favorable to or in accord with concepts of maximum individual freedom possible, especially as guaranteed by law and secured by governmental protection of civil liberties."^[11]. In practice, however, liberals are often the most intolerant of people, and frequently are on the side of disorder, chaos, anarchy, and lawbreaking. According to Webster's Unabridged Dictionary - and matched by current observation - liberals are "unchecked by a sense of the decorous, the fitting, or the polite...lacking significant moral restraints" or "... an emancipation from convention, tradition, or dogma that extends from a belief in altering institutions to fit altering conditions to a preference for lawlessness."^[12]

Liberals and Uncharitableness

American liberals give less to charity than American conservatives.^[13] In addition, per capita atheists and agnostics in the United States give significantly less to charity than theists even when church giving is not counted for theists.[1][2][3]

For more information please see: Liberals and uncharitableness

In March of 2008, George Will wrote at RealClearPolitics concerning the United States:

“

Sixteen months ago, Arthur C. Brooks, a professor at Syracuse University, published "Who Really Cares: The Surprising Truth About Compassionate Conservatism." The surprise is that liberals are markedly less charitable than conservatives....

If many conservatives are liberals who have been mugged by reality, Brooks, a registered independent, is, as a reviewer of his book said, a social scientist who has been mugged by data. They include these findings:

-- Although liberal families' incomes average 6 percent higher than those of conservative families, conservative-headed households give, on average, 30 percent more to charity than the average liberal-headed household ($1,600 per year vs. $1,227).

-- Conservatives also donate more time and give more blood.^[14]

”

Atheists and agnostics often reject Biblical morality (and therefore conservative Christianity ) and hold to moral relativism.^[15] Therefore, it is not surprising that per capita atheists and agnostics in America give significantly less to charity than theists even when church giving is not counted for theists.[4][5][6]

Liberal politicians and uncharitableness

The political magazine the American Spectator featured an article which focused on liberal politicians and uncharitableness and the article exposed the hypocrisy of the liberal politicians it featured.^[16]

In addition, Barack Obama has been criticized concerning his charitable giving.

Liberals and Superstition

The Wall Street Journal reported: "A comprehensive new study released by Baylor University, shows that traditional Christian religion greatly decreases belief in everything from the efficacy of palm readers to the usefulness of astrology. ^[17]

Also, in September of 2008, the Wall Street Journal reported:

“

The reality is that the New Atheist campaign, by discouraging religion, won't create a new group of intelligent, skeptical, enlightened beings. Far from it: It might actually encourage new levels of mass superstition. And that's not a conclusion to take on faith — it's what the empirical data tell us.

"What Americans Really Believe," a comprehensive new study released by Baylor University yesterday, shows that traditional Christian religion greatly decreases belief in everything from the efficacy of palm readers to the usefulness of astrology. It also shows that the irreligious and the members of more liberal Protestant denominations, far from being resistant to superstition, tend to be much more likely to believe in the paranormal and in pseudoscience than evangelical Christians....

This is not a new finding. In his 1983 book "The Whys of a Philosophical Scrivener," skeptic and science writer Martin Gardner cited the decline of traditional religious belief among the better educated as one of the causes for an increase in pseudoscience, cults and superstition. He referenced a 1980 study published in the magazine Skeptical Inquirer that showed irreligious college students to be by far the most likely to embrace paranormal beliefs, while born-again Christian college students were the least likely.^[18]

Liberalism in North America Today

Democrats and most media outlets in the U.S. are blatantly liberal.^[19] Liberalism in North America today practices three primary tactics to attack the Republican Party, and sometimes to attack American values in general. These three liberal tactics can be pronounced using the following acronym: SIN. Liberals (1) Shift the subject, they (2) Ignore the facts, and they (3) Name call.^[20]^[21]

Liberals typically support a "CRAZY!!" economy, a policy similar to that of fascism. ^[22]

Liberals claimed a monopoly on compassion, decency, and social justice (as defined by themselves), posing as the sole defenders of civic virtue against a horde of backwoodsmen, racists, and religious fanatics. [7]

Anyway I really apologize for this, but my kid brother just made some edits on your site, I'm really sorry, I'll do my best to undo them. Conservapedia is really valuable to me though so please do not block my account as a result of his actions

Liberal Rankings of Congress Members

The National Journal compiles the votes of each congress member each year and uses the information to create rankings^[23] of how liberal each member of the United States Congress is. In addition to showing the voting records of each member and given an overall all ranking of liberalness, the National Journal also ranks congress members by liberalness in the areas of social, economic, and foreign policy.

Liberalism in Europe today

In Europe, on the other hand, parties that call themselves chinese are moderate in outlook, ranging from centre-left to centre-right, promote typically economic and business freedom. The Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe^[24] is a party of the European Parliament that represents most liberal parties from European countries. Similar policies are promoted by many liberal parties throughout the world,^[25] such as the Liberal Party of Australia.^[26]

Trade unions and socialist parties often criticize politicians for promoting lower taxes on business, or more flexible hiring and firing laws, by calling them "liberals" or neoliberals. Thus, just as in the US, "liberal" may occasionally be used as a term of abuse. But when someone is called "liberal" in Europe, it has an entirely different meaning than in the US. In fact, the US meaning of liberal is more similar to the politics of European socialist or social democratic parties.^[27]

Historical Liberalism

In history, the word "liberal" has meant different things at different times, and was associated with individual liberty in prior centuries. In the postwar period, liberals supported government intervention in the economy and welfare state policies, as well as peaceful coexistence with the communist block, which are not liberal policies in the sense of classical liberalism. After the end of the cold war, with the demise of socialism and communism, many liberals embraced some ideas from economic neo-liberalism, and coined it the "Third Way". In the area of national security and foreign policy liberals in the U.S. failed to define a consistent stance, even after the events of 9/11 and the beginning of the war in Iraq. Liberals generally support affirmative action, gay marriage, and abortion.^[28]

Original meaning: Classical Liberalism

Liberalism is a political philosophy with freedom as its core value. The term was originally applied to supporters of individual liberties and equal rights, but, in America, the term has come to represent a movement of social change that often conflicts with conservative values such as moral values and tradition.

See Classical Liberalism. Compare Libertarianism.
