Why I'm not a Liberal anymore....
AS Burns
I hate to admit it but I have to. I can’t take Liberals anymore. I tried to be open minded. I tried to realize there are many points of view. But even the Liberals I know that I never used to consider radical have made me crazy. I don’t get them. And I can’t respect them. It’s just gone too far. It’s all in their answers:
Ask a Liberal of the two events that occurred roughly at the same time, which one did they scream about: The Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse or the beheading of Nick Berg. They’ll say Abu Ghraib.
Ask a Liberal which is more unjust: The lack of Geneva Convention status for the prisoners at Guantanamo Bay or the imprisonment of journalists in Castro’s prisons in Cuba and they’ll tell you it’s the prisoners at Guantanamo.
Ask a Liberal who is the greatest threat to women’s issues and they’ll tell you its George Bush rather than the Taliban.
Ask a Liberal if a Fundamentalist Christian is evil and they will say “yes”. Ask them if a fanatical terrorist is and they’ll say “no”.
Ask a Liberal if we should help the poor and oppressed and they say “Yes.”. Ask them if we should have gotten rid of Saddam or the Taliban and they say “No.”.
Ask a Liberal if we should be dependent on foreign oil and they will say “No”. Ask them if we can drill anywhere in the US or set up a wind farm near their home and they will say “No”!
Ask a Liberal what their biggest priority is and they will say “the children”. Ask them if NAMBLA should be outlawed and they will say “No”.
Ask a Liberal if Bill O’Reilly is biased and they say, “Yes”. Ask them if Dan Rather is and they say “No”.
Ask a Liberal if the possible firing of Ward Churchill is censorship and they say “Yes”. Ask them if Moveon.org’s urging the FCC to squelch Fox News is and they say “No”.
Ask a Liberal if Osama Bin Laden is scary and they will say “No”. Ask them if Dick Chaney scares them and they will say, “Yes”.
Ask a Liberal if the degradation of women by men is bad and they say, “Yes”.Ask them if Rap music is bad and they say “No.”
Ask a Liberal if they protested the Iraq War and they say “Yes”. Ask them if they protested the bombing of “Bosnia” and they say “what”?
Ask a Liberal if they celebrate diversity and they say, “YES”! Ask them how many Conservative friends they have and they will say, “I wouldn’t be friends with a Conservative”.

About me: “'But I don’t want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked. 'Oh, you can’t help that,' said the Cat. 'We’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad.' 'How do you know I’m mad?' said Alice. 'You must be,” said the Cat, 'or you wouldn’t have come here.'” -Lewis Carroll
