Liberal Ideology
A friend recently alerted me to this article and I wanted to pass it along to you as well:
Propaganda as news.
Lesson 3
We hate to pick on the New York Times (or do we?) but there they go again.
“With much of his legislative agenda stalled in Congress, President Obama and his team are preparing an array of actions using his executive power to advance energy, environmental, fiscal and other domestic policy priorities.”
A February 12, 2010 article touts the Obama White House plan to use executive authority where legislative processes have not provided Obama with what he wants. The Times cites the use of executive orders by previous administrations, Democrat and Republican. The closest the come to criticizing the plan is this:
“Another drawback of the executive power strategy is that actions taken unilaterally by the executive branch may not be as enduring as decisions made through acts of Congress signed into law by a president.”
Can someone help explain this for me? Why is it that liberals in our society are firmly against us showing documentation to prove that we are American citizens and can vote legally but they have no problem demanding our papers to prove that we have insurance?
Auto insurance is the law: As of June 1, Wisconsin motorists must have coverage

MILWAUKEE - Unless you want to risk getting slapped with an extra $200 ticket the next time you're pulled over for a traffic violation, it's time to make sure you have auto insurance in Wisconsin - and documentation with you in the car to prove it.
Here is a reply I recently sent to a blogger who was trying to paint all conservatives with the same broad brush.
Brian,
A single group of violent radicals does not define an entire movement. We are all individuals but liberals have a hard time viewing people that way. It's much easier for liberals to paint us all with the same brush. Here's how their flawed logic works: the Hitaree's are anti-government, violent radicals. Tea Party supporters are for smaller government. Therefore, Tea Party supporters are violent radicals. It is a pathetic and totally illogical false assumption but that really is how liberals portray it.
As is his custom, Sean Hannity takes a well-deserved break between Christmas and New Years from his talk-radio and television shows. One of his guest hosts on his radio show this past week was Herman Cain of WSB in Atlanta. (Recall that Atlanta is where Hannity made a name for himself).
How dare any Democrat vote against increasing taxes?! Doesn't Representative Pelowski understand that he MUST pursue liberal ideology in order to maintain his seat? The obamabots are having a cow because he chose to represent the interests of the people instead of his political party.
A question that keeps buzzing around in the grey matter between my ears is whether or not the majority of my fellow Americans actually embrace the American principles of individualism, self reliance and personal responsibility that made our nation so great? Or has the majority of our citizens become mired in the failed ideology that leads to lumping all of us into "segments of society" that can then be controlled by the government?
