Not Your Father's Liberal!
Buzzy Has Flown Home
Good Morning, Breakfastpoppers. Today is Wednesday, August 27, 2014. Our traveling friend, Fly Buzzy, has come home to us. He has been all around the nation and I can tell you from first hand experience that he is not a happy bug. Buzzy has asked for the pleasure of your company this morning. He wants to discuss the new "liberal" and the threat such liberalism poses to our nation. Won't you join us? Buzzy and I will be serving Breakfast Pizzas and Bloody Marys. We hope to see you soon.
The Empty Speech Bubble
Thank you all for coming here this morning. I don't know how it happened, but today's liberals aren't very liberal at all. Back in Breakfastpop's day, being a liberal meant you stood up for free speech, free markets, free trade, equal rights for all people and the right to practice your religion. Liberalism also came to embody the notion that government should provide assistance to citizens in need. We've come a long way, baby, but it's not for the better. Government today has grown out of control. Government today is intrusive and repressive. Today's "liberals" only believe in freedom for certain people, in very distinct ways. Once upon a time, liberals believed in free speech. Now free speech means the freedom to speak about politically correct subjects in prescribed ways. Freedom isn't really free anymore.
Be Careful What You Say
Your government wants you to tow the line and behave yourself. Your government doesn't have any patience for citizens who want to exercise their right to protest. When Tea Party members held a rally near the White House, your President Obama didn't seem to notice a single person. The press noticed and they fulfilled their obligation to this administration by slandering the Tea Party. Liberals believe in free speech, but you had better be careful what you say, lest you fall victim to vicious name-calling and false characterizations.
Lady Liberty is Weeping
Immigrants legally entering the United States, came here to be free. Some of them may want to reconsider their decision right about now. The liberals of today want to change the First Amendment to restrict political speech. The liberals of today want to punish people who try to exercise their religious beliefs. The liberals of today support the unions who push people around and force employees to cave into union demands. The liberals of today will resort to any tactic to get their viewpoints across. Today's liberals look more like bullies than the liberals this bug remembers. This is a very sad time for America. You used to be known as the land of the free and the home of the brave. It may be time to change this motto.
The King's Residence
Today's liberal seems at peace with most of the scandals coming out of Washington. Using the IRS to silence and punish conservatives and Tea party groups doesn't clash with their twisted sense of right and wrong. The end always justifies the means and no one embodies that belief more than the current occupant of the White House. Your president Obama doesn't have the will, patience or desire to follow the rule of law. That is just fine with liberals. Your president Obama has no use for Congress and that's just fine with liberal Democrats residing in this once august body. Your President Obama has ruled by executive fiat and nary a Liberal Democrat in Washington has a problem with it. The liberals of yesteryear still maintained respect for the Constitution. Today's liberals believe it is an out-dated piece of American history and nothing more.Your country is suffering because of this attitude and until someone resides in the White House who remembers what America once stood for, nothing will change.
Freedom!
Freedom is everything. It is up to every freedom loving American to take back America and restore it to the country it used to be. You don't want a dictator in the White House. You want a preident. You don't want intractable, ignorant fools in Congress. You want and need intelligent representatives who recognize that they work for the people and not for themselves. You don't want a president who breaks the law and takes the law into his own hands. You don't want a president who has no discernible or consistent foreign policy and who demeans America in the face of the world. You don't want a president who puts all of you in danger with open borders and tepid responses to terrorism. President Obama is the perfect example of the modern liberal and that, my dear human friends, is nothing to be proud of.
Get to the polls and vote wisely. Your future can be better than your present. Make it happen...Buzzy
Buzzy's Song
Fly me to the moon
And let me live where I am free
Things are so ugly now
I think we're up a tree!

Good Morning bradmaster,
Enough is enough!!!! Have we lost our collective minds? See yu at the Inn.

So true, and unfortunately, it is the US Constitutional that is being used to change the definition of American Citizen.
Both California and NY are trying to make illegal aliens into de facto American Citizens.
Thanks

Dear bradmaster,
We keep repeating the same mistakes over and over again. When my grandmother came to America, she did so legally and with enthusiasm. She learned the language and became a proud citizen. Now the PC police would prefer that we don't say the Pledge lest we offend people from other places. We encourage and facilitate separateness. Sharia Law has no place whatsoever in the United States. If you refuse to live like a citizen, leave. Better yet, don't come here in the first place. If we don't get smart, we are going to lose our nation. France screwed up royally and in less than 50 years it will be a Muslim nation. We will too if we don't wake up!

What is the minimum level of allegiance to the US should be required for continuing citizenship?
If people come to the US with the idea of making it a satellite of their birth country, then are we enabling them to form something like ISIS did in Iraq and Syria.
In WWII we imprisoned Japanese Americans, but not German Americans, we were at war with both but only reacted adversely to one of them.
So how do we react to people coming into our country and setting up a mini version of the country they came from?
The problem of that scenario is the liberal view of giving non citizens the full rights of citizenship.
Illegal aliens are allowed to protest against the US in Los Angeles without fear of being sent back to Mexico. It appears that citizenship isn't required to work the US constitution?
What is next, forcing legislation to emulate Sharia law?

Dear RTalloni,
It is time for America to wake up and smell the roses. Political correctness and stupidity will get us killed. We need a large and lasting dose of common sense and conviction. Thanks so much for coming to the breakfast table and thank you for the link.
Last week I heard an interview with a man who has changed his long standing liberal status and has become active in calling for enforcement of immigration laws. The reason can be found at his website:

Good Morning awdur,
Thank you for coming to the breakfast table!
Amen..... that's all I have to say....... you've said it all! Thank you!

Dear Mike,
I cringe when I watch those shows. I have seen college students on elite campuses act so dumb that I can't believe we have a future at all. We will probably destroy ourselves before ISIS ever gets here!
Man-in-the-street interviews are proof that the intentional dumbing-down of America program has been highly successful. Voters that can't name the Vice President and believe Obummer has a good chance of winning the 2016 election are examples of this.
Their favorite word is "free" and they only have to hear it once to decide which candidate they will vote for.

Good Morning, savvydating,
Thank you for this excellent commentary. We are in this mess because low information voters were swept away by a speech that was vague enough to get their engines going. So what, that Obama had no experience when it came to foreign policy, economics, the military and on and one we go. One speech got him elected and now our country is in deep trouble. Just look at this ISIS threat. He knew about them 4 years ago and did nothing. Now he is demanding a plan. HA, that is so bogus because a plan was proposed a long time ago and he ignored it. He has destroyed so much of what made America great and he isn't quite finished with us yet. See you at the Inn.

Good Morning, Mike,
You're so right. Just look at Obama. He started out as a proud American (maybe) and has evolved into an aloof by-stander content to see our nation (clearly not his) go under. See you at the Inn.

Good Morning gmwilliams,
Liberals today are intolerant, misinformed, vengeful and blind to the reality of life here in America. We have lost our way and way too many so-called liberals seem happy about the direction this country is heading in. Everything our nation was founded on is under siege thanks to an administration that works against the American people. See you at the Inn.

Good morning, Brie,
I agree with you Our voting system is broken and voting more than once has become a reality instead of a joke. See you at the Inn.

Good Morning, lambservant,
Your commentary is right on the money. Your slogan should be imprinted on T-shirts. Under the so-called leadership of Obama our nation has become more divided, ignorant and intolerant. This was the kind if change Obama was looking for and sadly, it looks like he achieved his goals. See you at the Inn.
Not to mention, it's incredible how much more dangerous this entire world has become in 6 1/2 years...
This is what happens when we hire a non-commander-in-chief whose liberal policies are not only destroying our standing in the world, but whose foreign policy non-decisions are giving strength to the rise of radicalism abroad, and which has crept into the U.S., much like it has in Great Britian. And I'm talking here about the liberal agenda which has allowed radical Islam to grow. Unless more of us hold on to our true American spirit and vote the Yahoos out, we're going to keep fighting an uphill battle, and even then, it will take a long, long time to turn this ship around. I pray it's not too late. Like the song says...."It's getting harder all the time." Yes, indeed the liberal policies are getting toiugher and tougher to untangle. It's all so sad because---it didn't have to be this way.
This hub proves that with time everything evolves including Liberals. Remember just a few weeks ago ISIS was nothing but a JV team? They were like wannabe terrorists and now look at them go.
Excellent analysis as usual. Liberal today means radical, left-wing, even socialist and communist. Yes, Liberal is definitely not what it used to be. I consider myself a Liberal but compared to the more extreme Liberals, I could be described as Moderate. It is the extreme Liberals that is going to ruin and devastate America by transforming her into a third world nation. Insane, ISN'T it? I think so.
I think it's too late already, I think the voting is rigged..I wrote an article about that awhile back. With these black box voting boxes there is no accountability. Good article, sad state of affairs indeed.
You are right in the above comment that Amercian's must be informed voters. I have seen video of various media people who go out among the people and ask questions about elected officials from the top down and issues of the day, and 90% were so ignorant it is appalling.
As to liberalism, their motto would be "You have the freedom to believe liberal ideology, but if you cross to the other side you're subversive, hateful, and you will be oppressed."

Dear Rachael,
We need brave informed Americans in significant numbers. Where do we find them? Last time around those kind of voters were outnumbered. See you at the Inn.
We need brave informed Americans to vote in new leadership. We need to clean house.

Dear Mike,
I would love to see that happen. Once these people get in, their priorities change and it is all about staying in office. Term limits is the only answer and of course, more intelligent voters. See you at the Inn.
Buzzy - Much of the back and forth rhertoric coming out of Congress is nothing but a well rehearsed circus act for our benefit. The outcome has been decided before the "showtime" battle even starts. This is all just to fool us into believing they actually care and are earning their pay.
In my opinion it is time for all of them to go home and find a new job.

Good Morning, Tom,
I agree, time is definitely running out. Obama has much more in store for us and he is going it alone again. He will tackle immigration and then climate change. The guy is actually a dictator, but nobody is noticing. See you at the Inn.
Buzzy and Pop,
We need to start the reassembly of our republic soon. Every day that passes with our citizens becoming more dependent on government largess makes the return to productiveness more difficult. Time is running out.

Dear billy,
I used to be a liberal. I believed in freedom and I respected the rights of others who held different beliefs. There was a time when politicians did cross the aisle and conduct the nation's business. Now it's like the wild west. The current occupant of the WH makes Jimmy Carter look okay and that's scary. Having said all of this, I happen to agree with your view. See you at the Inn. Let's get their before Michelle Obama outlaws Inns!
Oh heck my friend, in case you haven't noticed, and I'm sure you have, Republicans aren't what they used to be. Nor are Democrats or Liberals...they are all just mouths speaking for the corporations now. Might as well call them Party A, Party 1A, Party 2A, and so on, all built upon the platform of the rich get richer and the bottom 90% keep scraping by.
