RE: Liberalism

Steve Brenneis responds to Behethland B. Clark:

You wrote all that in the first paragraph and then immediately shot it down.

You said:

"When we see low income folks voting for an agenda that ultimately benefits only the wealthy in this country, we have to question the motives and who or what is influencing them."

Typical arrogant liberal mindset. You assume that because these folks are low-income they are A) subject to political manipulation and B) incapable of determining what is in their own best interest. You assume that because you have bought the lies promulgated by the Democrat Party, then anyone who has managed to see through them and understands that a capitalist, market-driven economic agenda benefits everyone according to their productivity must be the victim of some insipid mind control scheme.

You said:

"Another differences is the fact that liberals don't feel the need to tell others how to live their lives."

Yet that is exactly what you want to do when you force us to pay taxes for redistributionist purposes, when you force us to register our guns, when you force us to submit our children to the socialist indoctrination machine, and when you regulate our businesses out of existence for the benefit of the oligarchy.

You said:

"We know that morality can not be legislated and understand the danger of attempting to do so."

Don't confuse moralists with conservatives. Nearly every right-leaning libertarian will refuse to entertain the thought of legislating morality. But, when you tell us we must subject our children to the legitimization of homosexuality and other perversions in the name of "diversity," how are you so very different than those who would seek to legislate your morality? When you force us, through the unelected members of the courts, to suffer the murder of millions of unborn children, how are you so different than those who would seek to legislate what you call moral? As Dr. Sowell said, it isn't that you are opposed to legislating morality, it is that you are opposed to the legislation of a morality not your own.
