As a Liberal, you should be ashamed for wanting money to help others. Isn't it the typical Liberal doctrine that everyone have the same education, the same opportunities and the same outcomes? How dare you deny people the help they need because they can't afford it. Are you sure you don't have some closet Conservative feelings in there? Go watch a Michael Moore movie in penance to purge those evil thoughts of profit.

You guys and your anti-liberal rhetoric are getting pretty goddamn ridiculous already.

But reading something out of context to make what a Republican said seem worse than it really was isn't?

What he said is exactly part of what I'm talking about. Nearly every single day I hear something about the left and/or liberals ruining America. People are using the term liberal as a catch phrase for anything they want to point at or blame as being something thats wrong. The way liberal is being so loosely defined you can slap it on just about anyone you want to label or catagorize as an enemy.

Sounds familiar...

From Wikipedia...

Liberalism is a political philosophy or worldview founded on ideas of liberty and equality. Liberals espouse a wide array of views depending on their understanding of these principles, but generally they support ideas such as free and fair elections, civil rights, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, free trade, and private property.

How many of you who are slinging the term liberal around are not one yourself? I'd love to hear it.

Your purposely deceitful manipulation of my words shows your inability to square your views with reality. Racism is a real thing. I wish it weren't but it is.

I guess I need to quote my earlier post.

How you're reading this:

He had everything, everything that you would think would make you happy. But it didn’t. Now, what is the left’s worldview in general? What is it? If you had to attach not a philosophy but an attitude to a leftist worldview, it’s one of pessimism and darkness, sadness. They’re never happy, are they? They’re always angry about something. No matter what they get, they’re always angry.

This is what really happened:

Caller: What is the politics in the coverage of the suicide of Robin Williams?

Rush: I think there was, on the part of media and Hollywood, genuine affection for the guy that is driving it, but there is politics. If you notice the coverage is focused on how much he had, but it wasn’t enough.

“He had everything, everything that you would think would make you happy. But it didn’t.” Now, what is the left’s worldview in general? What is it? If you had to attach not a philosophy but an attitude to a leftist worldview, it’s one of pessimism and darkness, sadness. They’re never happy, are they? They’re always angry about something. No matter what they get, they’re always angry.

He is very clearly talking about the coverage surrounding Robin Williams' death.

Again I'm not saying he's right or wrong, simply that Rush did not say Robin Williams killed himself because he was a leftist.

If you have a counter argument to what I said I'd love to hear it.

If you have another riddle to share please make it one that is slightly easier to solve this time :(
