so, do we hate all liberals? or are the 19th century ones okay, but now they've been subsumed into all that is considered "conservative?"

 

speaking of treating women like shit, if conservatism had always been able to hold sway, wouldn't chicks still be hanging out in the bee-keeper suits and washing the goddamn dishes?

And what I'd like to know is this: Who in the hell coined the term "libtard anyway. That is demeaning, especially if you personally know anyone who does have mental retardation.

 

I admit to being guilty of insulting these people on this very forum, although their condition might be better classified as social retardation.

In either case, it's nice to see LESS, not MORE insults.

a liberal is a gay atheist marxist communist who kills and eats babies and lives to raise taxes and promote a nanny state while lying and cheating and destroying all that is good on God's green earth. Basically, its someone with a mental disorder.

holy fuck that's funny!

 

a shorter version is, a liberal is anyone who makes jesus cry

 

from the "online etymology dictionary":

liberal (adj.)

c.1375, from O.Fr. liberal "befitting free men, noble, generous," from L. liberalis "noble, generous," lit. "pertaining to a free man," from liber "free," from PIE base *leudheros (cf. Gk. eleutheros "free"), probably originally "belonging to the people" (though the precise semantic development is obscure), from *leudho- "people" (cf. O.C.S. ljudu, Lith. liaudis, O.E. leod, Ger. Leute "nation, people"). Earliest reference in Eng. is to the liberal arts (L. artes liberales; see art (n.)), the seven attainments directed to intellectual enlargement, not immediate practical purpose, and thus deemed worthy of a free man (the word in this sense was opposed to servile or mechanical). Sense of "free in bestowing" is from 1387. With a meaning "free from restraint in speech or action" (1490) liberal was used 16c.-17c. as a term of reproach. It revived in a positive sense in the Enlightenment, with a meaning "free from prejudice, tolerant," which emerged 1776-88. Purely in ref. to political opinion, "tending in favor of freedom and democracy" it dates from c.1801, from Fr. libéral, originally applied in Eng. by its opponents (often in Fr. form and with suggestions of foreign lawlessness) to the party favorable to individual political freedoms. But also (especially in U.S. politics) tending to mean "favorable to government action to effect social change," which seems at times to draw more from the religious sense of "free from prejudice in favor of traditional opinions and established institutions" (and thus open to new ideas and plans of reform), which dates from 1823.

"Conservative, n. A statesman who is enamored of existing evils, as distinguished from the Liberal, who wishes to replace them with others." [Ambrose Bierce, "Devil's Dictionary," 1911]

The noun meaning "member of the Liberal party of Great Britain" is from 1820. Liberalism is first attested 1819.
