Liberals and Fascist?

Question

Why is it when Liberals get a bright idea they want to force EVERYONE to do it their way? They try to use the government to impose their will on us all. From those stupid "energy saving" light bulbs to gun control etc

When in our country the other side says you are free to change all the light bulbs in your house don't tell me what bulbs to have.

Or I have never heard the NRA say YOU must own a gun! But you are free not to have one. (don't live in New Orleans without one).

I think the liberal side is fascist and the other side wants freedom.

Tell me what you think. I got thick skin.

Answer 1

No, Cons are way worse. They stick their prying eyes and religious beliefs in the most private parts of our lives: in our homes, our bedrooms, and our bodies.

Its fine with me if you want to argue against big government infringing on our freedoms, just make sure you apply it evenly across the board and don't stop when it runs into your own personal beliefs.

"Patriot" Act

Anti-Choice

Warrantless Wiretapping of American Citizens

Laws preventing g*y people from marrying

Teaching creationism in SCIENCE class

Censoring the release of certain Scientific data

Preventing s*x ed (up to actually LYING to kids about the effectiveness of condoms and BCP saying they don't work and don't help at all)

Laws against certain sexual position (seriously, we need to legislate kinky s*x??)

Answer 2

The definitions of the various political philosophies being discussed are:

FASCISM -- ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power.

.

This is close to what we are currently approaching.

.

.

LIBERAL DEMOCRACY --characterized by tolerance and pluralism

.

Tolerance..doesn't fit with our crop of liberals...this isn't it

.

.

LIBERALISM--a broad array of related ideas and theories of government that consider individual liberty to be the most important political goal.

.

Individual liberty being the most important....that doesn't fit at all with our current crop of liberals

.

.

DEMOCRACY --A POLITICAL SYSTEM IN WHICH THE SUPREME POWER LIES IN A BODY OF CITIZENS WHO CAN ELECT PEOPLE TO REPRESENT THEM.

THIS IS THE DREAM.. WE DON'T REALLY HAVE THIS BUT IT'S A LOT CLOSER THAN ANYTHING ELSE IN THE LIST.

Answer 3

g**s can't marry?

Women can't abort if they so choose?

At least the restrictions the "Liberal Fascists" have proposed benefit others and not just some crazy religious rhetoric

Answer 4

I agree with you completely.  They want those who actually work pay for those who don't.  Which in cases like disabled people is understandable...not the "on welfare, more handouts" they want to impose on working people.  I think they should tax amongst themselves for most of their silly socialist programs.

Answer 5

You mean like telling g**s they can't get married?

Or telling women they can't make medical choices?

Or maybe you mean like giving billions of dollars to your rich friends in the name of Homeland Security?

Answer 6

I don't think you understand what Fascism is.  Promoting energy independence is not fascism.

Answer 7

boy have you missed the mark. there are public and private issues, when research determines something is a public issue then the government is involved.the big question is what issues should be considered public vs private. is gun violence a public issue?conservatives do nothing and then there is an epidemic where they invaribly attempt to buy, arrest or shoot their way out of the problem. examples you ask for  terrorism,drugs,illegal immigration just for starters conservatives only try to conserve their money while ignoring mounting social issues. think about it.

Answer 8

Have you seen a thing called police and police cars and guns, lately?

Answer 9

If you think freedom has no bearing on cause and effect.Cause and effect we learn as infants,and throughout life.guns have an effect. pollution has an effect.stupidity is the cause.

Answer 10

heh wondering where that puts me, since I am a liberal but more of a socialist- I am a sharpshooter and I can't stand those compact flourescent bulbs. I believe in a woman's right to choose, I believe in g*y marriage, I believe in immigration regulation. I do not think we need big brother up our butts every second of every day analyzing everything..including what computer games we are playing online, what books we are reading, who our friends are, what we wear, or what consenting adults do in the privacy of their own bedroom.  And I do pay taxes, more taxes than most people. I do not mind paying them to support social programs..I just mind paying for w***e finding junkets for neocons who can't admit to being freaky or for the killing of our young men and women in the military for the sake of oil and big business. I am in no way fascist. the patriot act couldn't get any farther from freedom if it tried. Pax vobiscum ♥
