For years, liberals have said that conservatives have been trying to force their morals on everyone, have been trying to make the world in thier image, and have been intolerant of anyone who disagrees or is different from them.
The liberals said "leave people alone."
Now, it's reversed. Now,it's the liberals who are controlling and intolerant. No one is more in love with censorship than a liberal, no group wants to force their beliefs and lifestyles on others more.
I need to point out, however, that the libs I speak of are not the classic liberals of decades past. You never hear from those folks anymore it seems.
No, most liberals that are in positions of power or at least in the public eye are really statists as pointed out by one of the talk radio folks that The One and his statist friends wish to silence.
What a shame.
An email from a fellow named Troy in Dallas TX was forwarded to me. I chuckled over it and was about to delete it when I realized that this was a list of examples of exactly what I had been thinking, plus a few more.
The title of this post is that of the message.
So here it is:
If a conservative doesn’t like guns, he doesn`t buy one.
If a liberal doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.
If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn`t eat meat.
If a liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for
everyone.
If a conservative sees a foreign threat, he thinks about how to defeat his enemy.
A liberal wonders how to surrender gracefully and still look good.
If a conservative is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.
If a liberal is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.
If a black man or Hispanic is conservative, they see themselves as independently successful.
Their liberal counterparts see themselves as victims in need of government protection.
If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.
A liberal wonders who is going to take care of him.
If a conservative doesn’t like a talk show host, he switches channels.
Liberals demand that those they don’t like be shut down.
If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn’t go to
church.
A liberal non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced. (Unless it’s a foreign religion, of course).
If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.
A liberal demands that the rest of us pay for it.
If a conservative slips and falls in a store, he gets up, laughs and is embarrassed.
If a liberal slips and falls, he grabs his neck, moans like he's in labor and then sues.
I still find it amusing that today it's the conservative that champions individual freedom and the former liberals fighting for conformity as statists.
