http://presumptivephilospher.blogspot.com/2013/04/collectivism-is-liberalismmanipulism.html This sums it up pretty well - from Nazi sympathizers to Jonestown to Charles Manson. Different groups with different goals, but same methodology. It's scary how much this is happening here and now.

Let's take the word "marriage" out of the government contracts. We can move to "civil unions" for all matter of legal contracts between consenting adults. The church and cultures can continue to define "marriage" without assault from the left. This preserves the sanctity of a religious or cultural marriage, while also addressing the concerns of the gay community. Of course, this will undermine the government's "divide and conquer" strategy...

America is Over - excellent point!

Far too many people who claim to support the president do so out of a desire to show how accepting, tolerant and progressive they are. That Obama is abysmal and incompetent matters not - for they are "not racist". ("Racist" in this statement merely means did not vote based on skin color.) You see this phenomena all the time on social networking. People post warm fuzzy pictures and links to show you how sensitive they are toward the handicapped. Yet, when discussing abortion, those same handicapped are referred to by the left as 'burdensome, life with no future' or worse. Their true colors come through. So much of their politics is about their pseudo-excellent selves.

It's all in the semantics. They can take the same activity and - just by wording - make the connotations good or bad. Conservatives reporting wrongs are "snitches", Liberals doing the same are "whistleblowers". Conservatives earning money are "greedy", Liberals earning money are "hard working Americans". You can apply it to nearly every discussion...

Kimberly with due respect, the whole liberal public at large would be up in arms if the assignment were to stomp on a picture of Obama. The university isn't denying anything the student said. A discussion of symbols in culture could have been demonstrated easily without Christian bashing, which has found far too much acceptance on campuses nationwide.

I love it when union workers make statements like “Less money in their pockets means less money to spend locally on food, clothing, and other goods and services.” They not having paychecks effects the local economy... Excuse me - I thought you guys didn't believe in 'trickle down' theory???

Too big to fail....er, prosecute...

Flagged for off subject, completely irrelevant.

jcody - homerun on this!!!
