"Words had to change their ordinary meaning and to take that which was now given them. Reckless audacity came to be considered the courage of a loyal ally; prudent hesitation, specious cowardice; moderation was held to be a cloak for unmanliness; ability to see all sides of a question, inaptness to act on any. Frantic violence became the attribute of manliness"
-Thucydides
Liberals? Shooting up my country? It's more likely than you think.
A freeper logically explains why "going liberal" has always been the problem:
"No need to worry. When was the last time -- if ever -- that a Conservative committed an act more heinous than maybe exceeding the speed limit or running a red light? All of the brutal crimes of the last hundred years have been the work of liberals. Joseph Stalin's wholesale slaughter of tens of millions came from his communist belief system. Likewise, evil socialist Adolph Hitler committed atrocity after atrocity. All of the assassination attempts on US Presidents or nominees were done by leftists. And, last but not least, the murderous Ted Kennedy was an unabashed liberal.
There may have been some crime committed by a Conservative but I've not heard of any. Unlike liberals, Conservatives are obedient to God and are good, salt-of-the-earth law-abiding people."
Yup, Eric Rudolph, Timothy McVeigh and Scott Roeder are now retroactively liberal.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what Frank Roque's Freeper handle was...before he went "liberal"
ReplyDeleteYou know, that could be an ironic expression. Instead of saying some RWNJ shot a bunch of people, you can just say they "went liberal".
DeleteThose racist, pro-gun, anti-immigrant far right wingers...such liberals.
