We can't win
Re: We can't win
To my great dismay my daughter and grandchildren are all liberals. My daughter is not as bad as when she was young, but she is still a liberal. I worry about them; liberals need someone to protect them. They can’t protect themselves except with words and there can’t always be policemen around. And the police are not obligated to protect individuals but to enforce the law.
I expected to be placed in an air force combat position such as security police, forward air control, pararescue or E.O.D. I would have liked dog handler. I had heard about the dog Nemo and was highly impressed. “SFB” is sad I didn’t end up in E.O.D.
Re: We can't win
Until each and every one of us can command our own army, we (liberal, conservative, moderate, or none of the above) will always need "someone else" to protect us, won't we?
Indeed, isn't that one of the main reasons people band together to form communities and countries?

Congratulate yourself on doing a good job bringing her up, lib. You could have done a lousy job, like Mike Huckabee, and we'd all have to suffer.

Lib, are they aware of the sorts of views that you have expressed around here about "liberals"? (They're "communists" they're "fascists", they hate America, etc.)my daughter and grandchildren are all liberals.
If so, it must make Thanksgiving at your place very interesting...

People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right. The only difference is, they're wrong.

Re: We can't win
My mistake was allowing her to think for herself from a very early age. If I had known she would have turned out like this I would have indoctrinated her. At least she is not ashamed of her ancestors like her children are and she does know how to shot a gun. I wouldn’t trust any of my grandchildren to own a gun.ex-khobar Andy wrote:Congratulate yourself on doing a good job bringing her up, lib.

When you love people you avoid subjects that might divide. And as long as there is life there is hope. And some liberals are not fascist, but just weak and well meaning.Lord Jim wrote:Lib, are they aware of the sorts of views that you have expressed around here about "liberals"?

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

Re: We can't win
How many shots do you have? Can you take out an entire army with one? Can you shoot down a bomber or intercept a missile with one? No, you'll need a lot more than Mr. Colt to defend yourself against a major attack.liberty wrote:What is wrong with Mr. Colt.Big RR wrote:Until each and every one of us can command our own army, we (liberal, conservative, moderate, or none of the above) will always need "someone else" to protect us, won't we?

Believe it or not, it is possible to be raised in an environment where you are encouraged to think for yourself from a very early age, and not wind up becoming a liberal...

Malthus' father was what people today would call a liberal/progressive reformer, an optimist who believed in changing things for the better. Malthus was a reactionary conservative and first came up with his theories to make his dad shut up. (His theories, at that time, were used to prove among other things that you should not bother to feed, clothe, or house the poor because that would just create more of them.)

Re: We can't win
To be fair to Malthus he didn't say that: others twisted his words to make that conclusion. In later editions of his book he made it clear that his intention was to make sure that resources (i.e., food supply) remained adequate for the anticipated increase in population.rubato wrote:His theories, at that time, were used to prove among other things that you should not bother to feed, clothe, or house the poor because that would just create more of them.
