The phrase "socially liberal" really means nothing today. In fact, the word "liberal" means nothing today. The word should mean someone who believes in liberty, yet in actuality it means someone who:<br> <br> 1) Wants to dictate what foods you can buy at the grocery store.<br> <br> 2) Wants to dictate how you carry your groceries from the store.<br> <br> 3) Wants to dictate how you will transport your groceries home.<br> <br> 4) Wants to dictate the temperature you keep your home.<br> <br> 5) Wants to dictate what doctor you can see, when you can see that doctor, and what medical services you are allocated.<br> <br> 6) Wants to dictate what political speech you are allowed to hear.<br> <br> 7) Wants to dictate what property you are allowed to keep.<br> <br> 8) Wants to dictate what your kids are allowed to learn in school.<br> <br> 9) Wants to dictate how large your home is allowed to be.<br> <br> 10) Wants to dictate whether or not you are allowed to cut down a earth-loving tree growing on your property.<br> <br> 11) Wants to ban your ability to own a gun.<br> <br> 12) Wants to take away your home or land if the government can give it to someone else who can utilize it in a way that will increase the tax base.<br> <br> 13) Wants to ban your right to smoke a cigarette...as long as the leaves being burnt aren't from the marijuana plant. Then it's OK.<br> <br> 14) Wants to ban the certain colors from vehicles to reduce air conditioning needs in that car.<br> <br> <br> <br> Even when modern liberals seem to profess freedom they do it in by being a big bully:<br> <br> 1) They support homosexuals having the freedom to bang each other, but they want the right to force everyone to redefine the word marriage and legislate that everyone respects them.<br> <br> 2) They support a woman being able to abort her unborn baby, but demand public funds to pay for it.<br> <br> 3) They believe a member of a so-called oppressed group should be entitled to opportunities, but they also believe the laws should be written for force people to give them those opportunities.<br> <br> <br> In other words, if someone says they are "socially liberal" I do not find it to be a positive. Perhaps "classical liberal" would make sense.<br> <br> As for "Libertarian", call me when they decide to be more than a little group of hecklers that like to sit outside and complain about what's going on.
