TorresD & liberals |
I is apparent from these TorresD posts that this guy has no idea what
liberal means and is not aware that people do not just fall into a single
category like "Liberal" or "Conservative".
lib·er·al ( lıb".r-.l, l ıb"r.l) adj. Abbr. lib. 1. a. Not limited to or by
established, traditional, orthodox, or authoritarian attitudes, views, or
dogmas; free from bigotry. b. Favoring proposals for reform, open to new
ideas for progress, and tolerant of the ideas and behavior of others;
broad-minded. c. Of, relating to, or characteristic of liberalism. d.
Liberal Abbr. Lib. Of, designating, or characteristic of a political party
founded on or associated with principles of social and political liberalism,
especially in Great Britain, Canada, and the United States. 2. a. Tending to
give freely; generous: a liberal benefactor. b. Generous in amount; ample: a
liberal serving of potatoes. 3. Not strict or literal; loose or approximate:
a liberal translation. 4. Of, relating to, or based on the traditional arts
and sciences of a college or university curriculum: a liberal education.

I describe myself as liberal and the definition above accurately defines
what I mean by that.
In the conservative lexicon "liberals" are not what actual dictionaries
define as liberal. Their "liberal is just a synonym for the terrible people
who are responsible for everything bad happening in the USA.
Of course this is a longstanding human strategy, not by any means confined
to our neocon lemming corps. You know them, they're the terrible people who
are responsible for all the bad things happening in the USA. It's a human
animal, control, dominance and self protection thing.
No one is all right, but we want to feel we are. Most aren't entirely wrong
but we want to paint our opponents as that. It will never change.

A "liberal" is someone who says something that TorresD doesn't like.
I plonked him a few days ago, since he doesn't even write anything. He
just tags the subject line with all caps and moves on.
