A liberal shouldn't be so one sided or narrow minded in their views like yours are now and like they always have been in the past. You're a blue/green and you're only a liberal in that way. You're basically liberal by political/cultural color and that's it. The American liberals are figuring this out and are beginning to understand how much of a threat you guys are to them and their freedoms.(03-15-2018, 06:30 PM)Classic-Xer Wrote:(03-15-2018, 04:49 PM)Eric the Green Wrote: I don't know how many news channels are liberal; most are owned by giant corporations and care only about commerce. They have that in common with Republican politicians. I can't speak for what they are covering or why, but I have seen a few stories, yes. Remember that the fact remains that it's young blacks that are unfairly getting shot down most often. It's up to you to recognize that this is a threat to your rights. Remember again what a certain black man said: injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. That's why that man championed many causes that white and asian people were interested in too.Are you an American liberal? I don't think so. I think you're using a popular term for self interests. You see, you have an issue, you are being judged by an American liberal, your views are being countered by the views of an American live, your positions are being challenged by an American liberal and so forth.
I am a liberal and always have been, so it should be no surprise that I post liberal views, and that's all there is to it. I am informed and concerned, and that's all it takes to be a liberal.
Am I, or have I ever been, a librul?
Yes, always.
That's librul enough for me. Blue/green is liberal. Red is reactionary.
My ancestors have been here for up to 10 generations. Republicans today are the threat to freedom. Having a gun is not a genuine right, and is not freedom. That "right" doesn't count at all. And we don't want taxes that are too high on you; just high enough to meet our needs as a society. So again, the notion that today's blues and greens are a threat to you guys or anyone is an illusion propagated by the powers that be for the sole purpose of protecting their wealth and power over you.
My ancestors include people who came to America on the second immigrant boat to Massachusetts and on one of the first Dutch immigrant ships to New Amsterdam, some German and Swiss Mennonites who settled in Pennsylvania and the Shenandoah Valley. They would all show contempt for this President.
My father, who had never voted for any but Republican nominees for President in his 84 years told me before he went senile that he was absolutely not going to vote for Donald Trump. He died in October 2016, which protected his record.
Donald Trump makes me wish that Michigan were a province of Canada instead of a state of the Union.
