Liberal is an ambiguous word only to those ignorant of dictionaries, history and humans. You don't get to make up your own definition... You don't! That's why folks like you live in a bubble where all the incredible bullhockey on this site makes sense. Can you imagine that the word "liberal" is older than the internet? That it exists as a concept outside of America? Can you imagine what that means? It's as though words and language have meaning! So whenever you and your ilk call me a socialist, marxist, communist liberal... You aren't communicating any rational or coherent idea... You're just making stuff up. More government rather than less government... Wow. Simpleton.

What utter nonsense. Words evolve. The word "liberal" once meant individual liberty, but the word was used as a euphemism by a cult of traitors that seeks to impose tyranny on America, and because of that it has acquired a new meaning. I didn't make up that meaning; I base my use of the word on that meaning because it has been used that way so much. But it is used in other ways too, which is why a clarification was necessary.

Yeah, you're damn right I'm writing a 2016 post...you got a problem with that, chump?  (Forgive me, I'm still fine-tuning my Chris Christie impression).  But in all seriousness, it's a slowish news week, and I've managed to resist the general subject for well over a month -- this minor detour excluded -- so why not?   Christie is gearing up for his re-election campaign in New Jersey, which could turn out to be something of a romp.  His ratings are sky high, his toughest potential challenger decided to focus his ambitions
