Excellent story. I found you on digg and now am going to keep reading this website. Your sir are amazing.

Those are some devastatingly accurate descriptions. I recommend reading The Vision of the Anointed by Thomas Sowell if you haven't already read it. Great book about the true face of liberals and what their "good" intentions really produce.

Beautiful!

FTA: "But when you get beyond the textbook definition of liberalism, you understand that the real world meaning of the word is "unrepentant meddler".

I really like this guy.

FTA "How do you spot a liberal? They will save a dog, but see no problem killing a child. Save some bird breeding sanctuary, but destroy New Orleans. Ban DDT to "save the earth", the outcome being the death of a million Africans."

Sad, but true. Great insight Kevin.

They felt it necessary to meddle, usually in Black communities. Because who better than a Kennedy, Kerry, Pelosi, Reid, and other rich White congressmen to know what Black children need?
Reminds me of Bullworth- so true. (you can throw ol Barry in that list too though).

Kevin Jackson, was describing the definition of Liberalism ... this one from Ann cam to mind:

"Liberals seem to have hit upon a reverse Christ story as their belief system. He suffered and died for our sins; liberals make the rest of us suffer for sins we didn't commit." - Ann Coulter, Guilty

More divide and conquer. Liberal vs. conservative seems to be the battle du jour. It's obvious that this is the current battle plan drawn for the future of this nation. Everyone wants to be on a team and wants their team to win. That is a democracy. Contrary to popular belief/opinion, the US was founded as a Republic. In a Republic, it doesn't matter how large your team is, it can't tell me what to do if it encroaches on my inalienable rights. That concept apparently went out the window almost 100 years ago.

Quite frankly, I don't give a fuck what you call yourself. Enjoy your title/moniker or whatever else makes your giggleberries chatter. Call yourself a progressive, a liberal, a conservative, a centrist......ad nauseum. If your plan is to usurp my inalienable rights and then expect me to pay you to do so? Not good.

What it does boil down to is strict adherence to the Constitution. If you or your parties plan is to attempt an end around my inalienable rights, you have chosen your path and will be met by a reluctant party that has well built orators that spit out their orations at extremely high speed. Supersonic at times yet subsonic and silenced when the situation calls for it

Great Rant Kevin. Liberalism is a definition of selfishness. It is all about me, me and more for me and what can you do for me.

davidmesaaz

that makes as much sense as the libertarian democrat... What is that... a libertarian that is for big government???

zacharytelschow

The article is spot on. I think its very interesting to note that the Democrats have altered between two preferred terms "liberal" and "progressive," throughout the course of the past hundred years to be free of the stigma attached to their own policies and the effects of them. Whether Frank, Reid, Pelosi, and Obama wants to be called liberals or progressives, they're all still meddling idiots that think they know better than I do what's best for me.

mareln72

You make absolutely perfect sense.

Study the history of the American Progressive movement from the early 20th century. Hillary Clinton said she she's herself as a "modern Progressive" in a sense that hearkens back to that era. Those are the people who pushed Prohibition and many other things that would give them unprecedented (in America) CONTROL OVER OTHERS all in the name of "DOING IT FOR YOUR OWN GOOD." Progressives are a danger to freedom.

Your definition is probably more accurate!

Liberal...progressive...socialist...communist...there used to be a difference, but now? One thing's for sure: The end result is the same - loss of individual liberty and the expansion of an all-powerful central government controlling every aspect of our lives, from cradle to grave.

FTA: "They felt it necessary to meddle, usually in Black communities. Because who better than a Kennedy, Kerry, Pelosi, Reid, and other rich White congressmen to know what Black children need?"

The truth and profundity of that statement almost brings a tear to my eye. Black people, for once, are involved in the US political process. This could be a boon for either political party. In polling, black people vote for liberal candidates but are very conservative on issues. Proposition 8 in California is proof of that. What the republicans need to do is get passed their bad image with black people and marry issues to the right candidate. I think now that black people are involved with the political process, this might be possible.

ldmyers

This guy has douche bag written all over him.

"Liberals have changed their name, and now want to be called Progressives." Uh not really, I still define myself as liberal. Actually liberal and progressive.

How about this oxymoron: compassionate conservative. Try telling that to the hundreds of millions of Americans who have been lied to about the war, and the hundreds and thousands of women, children and American soldiers who have been killed, raped, injured and robbed.

@ldmyers

shauncorleone

"How about this oxymoron: compassionate conservative."

Try telling that to the thousands of conservatives whose charitable donations and volunteer hours dwarf those of your beloved "progressives". Google "Bleeding Heart Tightwads" and then tell me who is more compassionate: The ones who claim to represent the less fortunate, or the ones who actually help those people?

Trublmakr

You can be Liberal and progressive or you can be a progressive conservative. (That party has been around in Canada for generations.) You can also be a traditional conservative or Liberal - but the point is that one's attitude towards "progress" need not depend only on a political philosophy - rather just different means to the same end.

yep new york times ranted about the earning of cindy mcCain about 4 mill from investments last year etc....

and then good ole barry had about the same figure in earnings who would have thought? no article about that? he's black from the hood! yo...

For those who have been lied to about the war let me apologize on behalf of Mr. Bush. He used to very poor sources to come to the conclusion that weapons of mass destruction were in Iraq:
The United Nations that leveled sanctions against Iraq and demanded inspections to ensure that mythical WMD's that they found were destroyed.
Kurds in Northern Iraq who died in large numbers when they were gassed with mythical WMD's by Sadaam.
For this President Bush and I are immensely sorry. Will you progressive liberals ever progress to the point of liberating us from the guilt of believing your buddies the UN and those dead Kurds?

Progressive = code word for communist. Every time you see or hear it it will be associated with some policy or position that is straight out of Marxist philosophy. Check it and see

Great post - here in Oz, we often joke about how the "Progressives" are in reality "Regressives," especially when it comes to energy policy (no nice clean modern nuclear power; let's have 16th-century power sources like windmills instead, for example.)

The odd thing is that I think it's only in America that Leftists hijacked the word "Liberal" to self-describe. Over here, for instance, our conservative party is the Liberal Party of Australia, and they have Classical liberal beliefs & platform - lean government, individual freedom, free enterprise, etc.

It's our Leftist party, the Australian Labor Party, which is the self-described "Progressive" party - socialism, unions, nanny-state-ism, big government, high taxes, etc.

Sadly, after almost 12 consecutive years of Liberal government, we just got a Labor PM (named Kevin!) last year :-( Hello high taxes, nanny-state laws and "free Gubmint money for everyone."

P.S. I can't remember how I stumbled upon your blog - I think it might have been by following links from Blacknright? - but I'm glad I did. I've read several of your posts now and I like your style - I'll be back for sure.

spot_the_dog, I was curious who "down under" was my 'reader'! I'm glad you found me, and hopefully you will get others to consider reading me as well. I love Australia, and spent a lot of time in Sydney and Perth, opposites ends of the world! I loved you comments, and it's funny the contrasts in terms between Liberals, Progressives (Regressives!), etc, when in other lands. Thanks for the insights, and the comments!

machinepolitick

As usual, dead on.
Liberals always get so bent out of shape when you call them out on this. It makes me laugh.

Um, those folks you mentioned are not liberals. Those people are what the corporate media call liberal. That's why you all take it for granted that Nanacy Pelosi is somehow a "liberal".

You're one of those brainwashed boobs that still thinks we have a two-party system.

No one elceted to high office in this country is allowed to be liberal or progressive anymore. Corporate America frowns on things like that.

Real liberals are truly progressives- but you'll won't find them on Capitol Hill anymore. It's not good for business.

It doesn't matter what you call them, "corporate media liberals" or "truly progressives/real liberals", they are not good for anyone - even the lazy with their hands out.

Hi there!

I am not sure if you are aware that there is an online organization of bloggers called The AfroSphere.

Peace, blessings and DUNAMIS!

Thanks Lisa, I will investigate it...
