Phelps is a liberal!
40 comments
"Liberal" seems to be just used as a universal insult these days, often with little or no connection to a person's political identity (which often may be quite unknown). It is rapidly becoming the tag projected onto someone to signify that he deserves (in the mind of the projector and those who think as he does) to be hated; it is a tool of political and social bigotry.
Preacher Fred is liberal, all right - with the truth, with his interpretation of the Bible, with the law...
Good point, King Spirula. Maybe those loud, shrill cries of "Liberal!" are made because these devout neocons secretly would really like to embrace tolerance, individual freedom, and nonviolent social change, but are too afraid to come out of the closet.
TDR,
TDR,
Forgot to mention, I recall that in the past a political conservative was about limited federal government and fiscal responsiblity. How many 'conservatives' do you think would describe themselves that way or you'd hear about "war on terror" "patriot" "support the troops" "family values" "protect marriage" "put God back in Murka"?
Ok, I have checked the original post and I think that it is more or less what you guys are claiming. This guy doesn´t live in a bizarro universe because he honestly doesn´t think that Phelps shares John Kerry´s ideas or he is in favour of homosexuals. He just employs liberal as an insult and equates everything I don´t like or find repulsive=liberal. And it goes the other way round too. Many people from the left tell fascists to anyone they don´t like so they call as such to Pol Pot, or to Castro. Well, Bush himself calls the terrorist Fascist muslims.
And Al Gore is three koalas in a human-suit!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
