Most rabid conservatives like to pin the label on anyone who doesn't agree with their ultra conservative visions of the world. It doesn't make any difference if the person is middle of the road in their politics. They get called 'liberal' anyway! Because conservatives are so far right anymore, they make everyone who is middle of the road look like they are a liberal! They use the word like a weapon! It's thrown around so much by rabid conservatives I often wonder if they have any clue what the word really means. Or they just use it because Rush Limbaugh does and they think it makes them fit in with the far right crowd! Or they wish to express their contempt for anyone who doesn't agree with their fascist ideals. It's the only way they have learned to vet their rage is to call someone a 'liberal'. Because the word doesn't sound the same if one isn't foaming at the mouth! But, I am like a lot of other people. It doesn't bother me in the slightest to be called liberal. I am proud to call myself a liberal.
In the Letter's to the editor of my local newspaper I have heard the word overused in the last week to the point of being tiresome. I often wonder if these conservatives vocabularies are that severely limited they only know one word 'liberal'! Since Obama was elected the fringe lunatics have finally started coming out of shock and are starting to foam at the mouth. They all say the same tired old phrases word for word and blame the 'liberal media' for all their failures. The 'liberal' media wasn't hard enough Obama and didn't question him enough on Republican allegations. Unmindful there was nothing to question Obama on. Most of the slime they wanted Obama questioned on was manufactured by the right wing lunatics to begin with. And unmindful that the media is no longer 'liberal' like Rush tells them it is. They all gave McCain a free pass on Hagee and Parsley both. But, they have put 'a pox' on all of us for voting for Obama! We are all going to wish we had never voted for a Muslim! The gun sales are booming here in town. The lunatics expect the worst any day now. There is a big gun show this weekend. But, it will no doubt be the last. I often wonder if these people really believe all the drivel they spew??????
At any rate, I am not totally certain what conservatives thought most American's would do during the election? Continue to allow the Republican party to destroy the country wholesale or vote for something different into office! These people's thoughts defy any large amount of logic!
