Conservatives fear FREEDOM and LIBERTY because F&L threaten Authoritarian rule.
Choice and reproductive freedom.

Women's independence and freedom.

Remember when wives used to give their paychecks to their husbands, or else.? Progress led to true freedom from that old oppressive system.

Independent women practice freedom and liberty. Authoritarian conservative control-freaks fear this type of freedom and liberty.

.............................

The freedom, the liberty, the right to join a union.

Unions apparently threaten Authoritarian conservative rule in America. Conservatives hate and fear unions and their members, the rank and file.

Worker uprisings drive fear into the hearts of our corporate overlords.

Solidarity among workers- workers practicing their freedom. The notion of freedom and liberty among workers must be crushed in the minds of our Authoritarian overlords.

Employee Free Choice Act defends freedom and liberty from the tyranny of our corporate overlords.

Low wages are tyranny.

.............................

Access to affordable quality health care for all is a freedom that conservatives want denied to all but those wealthy enough to afford it.

.............................

Gay marriage. Why deny LGBT people freedom and liberty? Denying us gay people freedom and liberty is tyranny and oppression.

Conservatives fear gay rights and gay freedom and liberty. Apparently, LGBT freedom is a threat to the Authoritarian conservative mind.

............................

Gays serving. 82nd Airborne vet FAG here! This "FAGGOT" served. I have a habit of asking conservatives when I encounter them if they have ever served their country? Rarely do they ever answer yes. Of all the conservative minded people that I've asked that question, 2 have answered yes. Imagine that.

LGBT'ers having the freedom and liberty to serve apparently threatens the stranglehold control of the Authoritarian conservative.

............................

Education unlocks human potential. Is there a greater path to freedom and liberty than through education? Educated minds are free minds. Educated minds are powerful things that tend to want to protect freedom and liberty.

Freedom doesn't jive well with the control-freak mentality of the Authoritarian conservative.

Educated minds apparently threaten Authoritarian control.

Conservative Repubs hate public education because educated minds are too difficult to control.

The goal of the GOP/Con/Repub is to dumb-down education to where the public is taught to be good low-paid wage-slaves.

Obedience. Conservatives want public education to teach mass obedience. If that doesn't work the privatize and convert Pub Ed to privatized/corporate charter schools.

Education unlocks potential freedom and liberty. Authoritarian conservative control is threatened by an educated population.

It's time to paint the GOP and the entire Conservative political establishment as anti-freedom/anti-liberty Authoritarian control freaks.

Does Palin sound more Pro-Authoritarian or Pro-Liberty? (As if I have to ask :rofl: )

Palin hates..

Choice.
Other women's independence.(other then her own)
Unions. (and your right to join one.)
Good wages for all workers.
Healthcare for all.
Gay people.
Public Education.

2. True Liberty is immoral to republicans.
Morality is used to curb freedoms by the republicans all the time.

issues/areas where morality trumps Liberty (to them).
SEX
Abortion
Divorce
Television
movies
music
Atheism

At least this is what they preach not what they do.
