Over the past few months I've noticed something with liberals - we've gotten too nice and complacent in our victories.
Think about it: liberals used to be the ones in the 60s and 70s that were rabid fanatics raging against 'the man' and 'the establishment' for issues such as gay rights, rights for minorities, equal rights for women, legalization of pot, etc. Liberals strange fixation with various herbs and experimental lifestyles based on what you ate or how you lived were seen as 'different'. We fought for the right to be listened to - trying to get others to understand our side of the argument BUT accepting their views as a temper against any severe radicals in the group.
During those memorable decades conservatives were those in power who clung to their religion and crosses in fear, trying to protect their 2.5 kids and their houses surrounded by white picket fences while faithfully saving their money in safe havens such as banks and credit unions. Conservatives believed that the government knew what they were doing in protecting the nation and its interests - after all, the Liberal Commies were coming and they already have foot soldiers in the streets! Next thing you know - they'll want to have a Negro holding office in Washington!
Flash forward to the present.
The issues liberals fought for have been enacted and put into law. Civil rights acts have leveled the playing field (legally anyway) for minorities and gays, women are entitled to equal rights, technology and science rules and has changed the way we live, those strange eating habits and lifestyles are seen as healthy and/or environmentally friendly. The nuclear family has changed.
Liberals became the establishment - and in the process we STILL give others the chance to talk in the hopes that we can learn from our differences.
Conservatives are now the rabid protesters - waving crosses and chanting religious verses hypnotically and incoherently against women's rights and gays. They now see all government as evil and INSIST on the marriage between Judea-Christian values and the state in order to combat any social unrest. GOD - preferably white with blond hair and blue eyes - IS THE ANSWER.
Hypocrisy is now their god - cherry-picking bible verses is the preferred method to ram their views down your throat; logic and reason are seen as a weaknesses.
They play dirty - under the guise of 'doing God's work'. After all, "onward Christian soldiers!"
Ya know - liberals need to stop being so 'understanding' and fight back!!!! If they need a cross to burn to get a point across to the conservatives I'm sure there's a HUGE one located in the Westboro Baptist Church in Kansas...in fact, why burn the cross only? Trying burning down the entire bloody church while we're at it, I mean, these people are......
*KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!*
(Damn, the Feds are at the door again. Gotta' run.........down to the valley, cross through the river......the dogs are getting close.........!)
