Whenever someone tries to belittle me because I am a LIBERAL
I simply say -
I would much rather be a liberal than a
RIGHT WING WACKO.

That usually shuts them up:evilgrin:

1. What really shuts them up.

Is that I get my cellphone out, and pretend to nake a call to have the re-programming van come to my location.:evilgrin:

AS they're running for their lives, I yell out..."We will take care of you. We have your choice of reprogramming venues! Synagogue, Lesbian Bookstore, or Vegan grocer! Hey, Come back!"

3. I was phone banking in California
For Ahhnuld's Not So Special Election, I was phoning San Bernadino Democrats (SB is in Los Angeles area). Somehow, a leader of a local Republican't Group got on my list (he was actually listed as a Green). So after he explains that he's a SchWARTzy fan, and now very Repug, he proceeds to call me a "communist"

Sheesh, that is soooooooo 1950s. Find a better insult, spaceman.

5. They have no right to belittle you. Liberalism won the cold war. All
western nations, indeed, all true democracies are LIBERAL DEMOCRACIES with MIXED MARKET ECONOMIES. Everyone. Even the U.S.A.

So the next time someone tries to belittle you for using that word - point out to them they are patsies. That they have been trained to attack that word because it is so powerful. Liberal = Western values. Pure and simple. LIBERALISM WON - ALL OVER THE WORLD.

It is your word. And you should be proud of it. The next time someone tries to belittle you for using the word liberal - explain to them how they are sheeple. And how that is sad to see in someone who believes themselves to be grown-up.

Liberals won.. all over the world. That is why the neocon train their flock to attack the use of the world and steal it from the Democrats. It is too powerful.
