    As long as you are not nuclear powered or armed, we will not sink you on sight.

    Instead we will treat you to the thrills of a trembled city and the magic of freedom.

    Unless he violates a "hate speech" law, right?

    Correct - for once.

    We will not tolerate demeaning of American efforts to own the world through terror.

    If we had a constitution, if would probably be against it.

    Luckily, we don't.

    LOL, never mind. We understand that you don't do irony in the rebellious colonies. :-D

    I have no need to apologise for lousy American education.

    You should have never gotten on that ship with Gandalf in the first place. There is too much work still to be done in the Shire, for Master Frodo to be off on one of his adventures again. For one thing, there is Awryly grass that needs trimming, and for another, lots other weeds always trying to grow and take over the Democratic garden.

    It's a good thing that the fat hobbit is a gardener.

    Tolkien earns us Yankee dollars.

    How great is that?

    All these literary allusions escape me.

    Was Tolkien a leprecaun?

    So here's your argument. Current liberal thought is completely insane. And you have provided quite a few reasons for this.
    -Too much social spending
    -Giving illegal immigrants the same rights as citizens at the "expense of the citizens"
    -Supported groups that want to destroy the fabric of the U.S (Socialists, Communists, and Anarchists)
    -"They have supported the "leadership" who wants to nationalize oil and energy while supporting the destruction of the same." Huh?
    -They support giving Muslims rights, even if it impedes on the rights of Christians
    -Push pseudoscience to be adopted as public policy (global warming)
    -Use racism as a way to raise money
    -Destroyed self-reliant principles
    -Anti-capitalist

    Then you assume all of these are qualities of an insane political ideology. And since, according to your argument, liberals favor all of these policies, they are in fact insane.

    If I have outlined your argument incorrectly, I apologize. Now, in order for a rational person to accept your conclusion that liberal thinking is insane, I need to know what evidence you are using for these reasons. Only then can I determine whether or not I should agree with your conclusion or not.

    A pint is a lot of beer...when you're a hobbit.

    No, I said inane, as in foolish, lacking sense or meaning, not insane. Although, in some individual cases, I could probably make a case for that as well.

    I would have to disagree. You are describing Progressives, not Liberals. Please learn the difference, thank you!

    We have so many social programs because society in one way or another failed to properly help the group in need, and the government had to step in and help.

    I have an idea. Let's put our heads in the sand and pretend that liberal and progressive aren't interchangeable terms in today's American politics. What's that you say, somebody beat me to it?

    No, they didn't "have to", they chose to. In some cases it was needed and timely. However, liberal education, media and government have done society no favor by distorting & expanded the classification of "need" to an extent where today "fairness", instead of "need", is basically used as the bar to which government "must act".

    I am not a liberal yet I am not a right wing nut as well. this mess the world is in is hugely at the feet of Big banks, Wall street and the FED. they rigged the system, killed all oversight, crowed they could "police themselves". and ruined the economies of the world. they got bailed out trillions on our backs.
    they control through lobbyists how to gerrymander any bill to benefit their sponsors. Millions have lost homes, retirements, investments, and jobs because of the unregulated craven greed when the monied class were allowed to behave as Barbary pirates.

    Those craven enough to create this mess now want to blame "the people' for the govt spending what it does not have. bending laws for the monied at the expense of the nation and then crow we are the 1%.
    The left had their hands in this with the mindless Freddie and Fannie and how many in the Senate and on Obama's own staff personally profited, yet "we the people" are suffering. there is a group in the elite banking and fed and Wall street who are Above the law and twist it to support themselves at the expense of us all.

    If this were the movie "its a Wonderful life" we have become pottersville and the potters of the world have all won.
