Liberal is biblical, but why no mention of conservatives?

Liberal is good according to the bible.

"The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself." (Proverbs 11:25)

"The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl said to be bountiful." (Isaiah 32:5)

"But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by liberal things shall he stand." (Isaiah 32:8)

"Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men . . . Thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift." (II Corinthians 9:13-15)

4. Is that their word for "asshole"?

Maybe using the word "pharisaical" would be perfect. They are the new Pharisee.

Pharisaical - marked by hypocritical censorious self-righteousness

2. how is it that people like you can come up with this sort of thing but

our democrats run away from the label--or many of them do. We should be proud to be liberal!

I live by the Beatitudes.

Blessed are the meek: for they shall posses the land.
Blessed are they who mourn: for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after justice: for they shall have their fill.
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. )
Blessed are the clean of heart: for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
