What if the Liberals Win in November?
Dear Eric,
How important are the upcoming elections? Extremely important! Below is a list of what we can expect if the liberals win. These elections are crucial. It is vitally important that you vote. Please vote and encourage others to do the same. As bad as things are, they will be infinitely worse if the liberals win.
The strategy of the liberals is to get Values Voters so disgusted and discouraged that they will not vote. If that happens, the liberals will have achieved their goal and they will be running our country.
Here is what we can expect if the liberals win:
* Amnesty for 12,000,000 illegal immigrants.
* A push to make homosexual marriage and polygamy legal in all 50 states.
* Only liberal judges will be appointed. They will create laws to implement the social agenda liberals cannot get passed through the legislative process.
* Liberals will make the killing of the unborn more difficult to stop.
* Liberals will continue to try to rid our society of Christian influence, including any reference to God in our Pledge and on our currency.
* A return to the "Fairness Doctrine" in broadcasting where opposing views must be given equal time. Every conservative talk show host will be forced to give a liberal equal time on every issue. The purpose of this rule will be to shut down conservative talk shows.
* An increase in taxes to push new social programs.
* Passing a new "hate crimes" law making it illegal to refer to homosexuality in a negative manner.
* Liberals will give terrorists from other countries who try to kill Americans the same rights American citizens enjoy under our constitution.
* We will withdraw from Iraq, sending the message to the terrorists that if they will just be patient they can win and bring their terrorist acts to the U.S.
Go Vote! Encourage Others To Do The Same.

saw this comment on mark's blog:
"Republican's throw a congressman out on his ear".

What can we expect if the Democrats win this fall?
Certainly a step in the right direction, but unfortunately, we can't expect much. The Dems are, for the most part, only watered down versions of the Republicans and both are beholden to the corporate world and have their first allegiance with them.
Now if we were to get some True Progressives/liberals in there or even some good ol' fashioned Harold Stassen/Mark Hatfield-type Republicans in office, THEN we might see some real progress.
Unfortunately, the way things are set up now tends to give us fewer good choices.
I hope and pray that the Dems DO win big next month, just because we're heading SO far off in the wrong direction that we need to at least begin to slow down the damage that we're doing.
But what we really need to do is have a revival, repent and turn away from out paths of destruction (if you'll excuse a little fiery Baptist talk).
Dude. I have email. Responding here to a comment at Mark's place is... retarded? insane? both?
While here, please stick to the topic of discussion.
That's what normal people do.
Fiery Baptist talk is welcome. As for the rest allow me to quote Kevronius...
"are you retarded? insane? both?"
Just kidding! I don't think that about you... Misguided, perhaps, but certainly not the others...
"Dude."
who? me?
"I have email."
i have a tapeworm.
"Responding here to a comment at Mark's place is..."
....the only way in which i can respond to your blatant revision of the not-too-very-distant past.
"retarded? insane? both?"
a little from column a and a little from column b....
"While here, please stick to the topic of discussion."
i'll do my best.
"That's what normal people do."
now, if i should find you've strayed off topic on someone else's blog, how shall we consider you? i could go look, if you'd like.
okay, i'll cut the bs. i suppose i did come on a little strong. i just couldn't let that comment go without taking a poke at you. i can't believe you'd tried to get away with that, in light of the fallout since foley's RESIGNATION. how many house repubs have come forward and said they'd known about foley's activities and, in turn, told someone else? your guys have lost their objectivity, el.
you guys impeached clinton and it didn't do you a bit of good. get over it already and live in the now, for crying out loud.

El, about your original post. Every thing in the list of things liberals would do is either a distortion or an outright lie.
Is this the only way to get republicans to vote? To scare them with ridiculous things like this?
I was going to say something similar to Solomon, but decided I'd harrassed you enough.
But I do have to agree. These are mostly out and out lies or distortions designed to play upon people's fears.
I know you didn't write these, but posting pabulum like this is a way of endorsing this sort of creepy behavior.
Why didn't the author add that "liberals" will eat babies and throw a party for bin Laden?
Eating babies and parties for bin Laden. I love it! Can we force everyone to gay marry too?
Out-right lies?
You mean democrats DON't want to offer amnesty to 12 million illegals?
You mean democrats HAVEN'T and WON'T continue to push for Gay Marriage?
What? A democratic congress WOULD'T seek to confirm ONLY liberal judges?
You mean democrats WON'T seek to strengthen the laws that protect abortion in this country?
What? Christians will suddenly have MORE freedom in the public square if Liberals and Democrats take both houses? More than they do now?
Do you mean to tell me that the 'Fairness Doctrine', touted by Hillary herself among others, WOULDN'T be pushed for? To silence conservatives?
Do you actually think I'm stupid enough to believe that Nancy Pelosi WON'T seek to repeal the Bush tax cuts, in effect raising taxes?
Do you really believe the Democrats WON'T push for new social programs?
You mean democrats won't seek to strengthen hate crime laws? Do think I don't know that much of YOUR base considers any negative thought or word about homosexuality to be a hate crime?
Do you mean democrats DON'T want to extend to terrorists the rights of American citizens in a court of law?
Do you really expect me to believe that democrats WON'T seek to pull out of Iraq immediately?
A lie is but a curtain that conceals the truth. I don't see any curtains here, accept the ones you and others want me to believe are there.
If I were an emperor I wouldn't wear ANYTHING you made for me!
Easy boy!
Let's go through these things one by one.
Here is what we can expect if the liberals win:
* Amnesty for 12,000,000 illegal immigrants.
We can't expect this because there is no consensus on the issue among democrats, so would not pass either congress. Even so, it would be vetoed. Plus, it would be political suicide.
* A push to make homosexual marriage and polygamy legal in all 50 states.
I support getting the government out of the marriage business. But a bill to make gay marriage legal would be political suicide. I know of no movement with any support to legalize polygamy.
* Only liberal judges will be appointed. They will create laws to implement the social agenda liberals cannot get passed through the legislative process.
BS. First, Bush appoints the judges. We've had some pretty radical conservatives appointed, because of the rubber stamp congress. He may be forced to appoint moderate conservatives. Second, judges don't create laws!
* Liberals will make the killing of the unborn more difficult to stop.
If you mean we'd work to keep abortion safe and legal, yes. But this hyperbole distorts the issue.
* Liberals will continue to try to rid our society of Christian influence, including any reference to God in our Pledge and on our currency.
BS. Even the most secular people I know could give a rip about God in the pledge or currency. Keeping Christians from shoving their religion down our kids' throats in school and keeping megachurches from getting ridiculous exemptions from laws, maybe.
* A return to the "Fairness Doctrine" in broadcasting where opposing views must be given equal time. Every conservative talk show host will be forced to give a liberal equal time on every issue. The purpose of this rule will be to shut down conservative talk shows.
Violation of free speech, political suicide.
* An increase in taxes to push new social programs.
Raising taxes to balance the budget and return to some fiscal responsibility would be prudent, but it wouldn't pass or survive a veto. Social programs have been gutted in the last decade. How many "new" social programs are possible with a marginally democratic congress and Bush in the WH?
* Passing a new "hate crimes" law making it illegal to refer to homosexuality in a negative manner.
BS. Even bad taste and stupidity should be protected as free speech.
* Liberals will give terrorists from other countries who try to kill Americans the same rights American citizens enjoy under our constitution.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Do you understand the difference between giving accused terrorists rights to a trial and giving convicted terrorists rights?
What do the words due process and habeas corpus mean to you?
Do you understand the difference between torturing accused terrorists and justly punishing convicted terrorists?
Do you realize that innocent Canadian and British citizens have been wrongly handed over to Syria and other countries by the US for torture?
Do you realize that ANYONE Bush calls an enemy combatant (even you) can be locked up indefinitely with no lawyer?
Would you give Clinton (or the next Dem prez) the right to lock up and torture anyone he pleases without trial?
Do you understand how Orwellian it is to have our civil liberties restricted in an indefinite war? Ever seen 1984?
* We will withdraw from Iraq, sending the message to the terrorists that if they will just be patient they can win and bring their terrorist acts to the U.S.
Democrats are bitterly divided on this. Some on both sides of the aisle think we are doing more harm than good. But have you ever heard ME call for a pullout? No, and many liberals are with me.
--
And my wariness of people wanting to shove their religion down my kids' throats is justified by your calling for reducing the separation of church and state on several occasions. Keep the wall there. It makes for a better, more just society and stronger churches.
"try following the news sometime, el. try to keep up with normal people."
Gawd! LOLOLOL!
"Normal people"....hardee-har-har-har!
(Sigh!)
Solomon wisely stated:
"Keep the wall there. It makes for a better, more just society and stronger churches."
This is EXACTLY what 300+ years of my Baptist forebears have said. We oppose state-funded/"supported" religions more for faith-based reasons than for civic ones - although there are civic reasons, as well.
Historically speaking, (I'm going to go out on a limb here) nearly EVERY TIME that gov't has "supported" churches, it has been done as much as to keep a leash on God's Church as it has been for altruistic reasons.
No leashes on MY church, thank you.
A state-supported church will be a watered-down church. Conversely speaking, a church that isn't offending the State is probably not doing her job.
