  What is the difference between a flower and a weed? Perception or maybe public relations. The insidious and insipid nature of liberalism is more accurately analogous to the weed than the flower.

  I have never understood how liberals believe that they can measure the contents of every man's heart. I have never understood how liberals can confuse compassion with compelling everyone to live in a utopia fantasy regardless of how much force is required. I have never understood how liberals can believe that turning people from brilliant and beautiful and capable beings into zoo exhibits, housed, fed and trained to the liberals personal standards is compassion and freedom.

  I'm guessing the reason you are so completely wrong about what liberals believe (as if they all believe the same things) is that you haven't actually listened to one in years.
  
  Oh, that's right, you're a birther; it's in your DNA to ignore truth.

  Really, a birther - wow, I cannot stop laughing. A couple of months ago the bad thing to be was a tea partier, now it is a birther. Wow, talk about not listening.
  
  As for what liberals believe - some self reflection should help. Liberalism is the desire for everyone else to live in the cage one compels them into for their own good - after all it is paradise. The childish desire to create one's own personal perfect world and for everyone to live in it is the hall mark of liberalism. "Everybody deserves a pony, rainbows and ice cream and if you say 'no' you are just mean."

  Well yeah, like that fantasy that you give a business owner or corporation all the incentives and financial breaks (lower taxes on the wealthy) and the "love will gush forth" - jobs sping-up over night, wages go up, men start to smile on their way to work, birds begin chirping, etc. See "Supply Side Economics" See "Failed Economic Theories" and "Reagan Revolution."

  It is okay. That feeling that you know everything about economics passes while you are waiting for your government check. You do understand businesses don't pay taxes. Oh, never mind. As for grand economic fails perhaps you should take a look at Jimmy and Barry two sides of the same Weimar Mark. The price regulated free market is always preferable to a centrally regulated or directed one - but that assertion goes well beyond the liberal's ability to see past the "ponies, rainbows and ice cream."
  
  Thanks for playing sweet heart, here is your snow cone just don't let it drip on your pretty dress or your mommy, Barry, might get upset.

  Your condescension is being laughed at by my conservative husband as I type this. Your concept of liberalism is a fantasy that helps you justify your disdain for those who disagree with you. The reality is that you are not able to have a productive discussion with a liberal because that would require you to acknowledge that good ideas come from those you consider "the enemy." That, unfortunately, is not allowed in the current conservative playbook and is why the Republican party is having such a difficult time finding an intelligent, rational conservative to represent their party as a presidential candidate. Consorting with the enemy, otherwise known as "getting things done," is considered a bad thing. Independents as well as sane Republicans are fed up with it. You, however, seem to be happy to be a tool for those who would keep us from coming together to solve problems.
  
  Self-reflection: try it sometime.

  What good idea comes from liberalism? Self reflection is how I left liberal foolishness behind. And as for your husband you can call him conservative, he can even call himself conservative. I don't care - Trump has been calling himself a conservative. Apparently it is a word without meaning. I cannot imagine being married to a liberal.
  
  I have removed liberals from my friendship after this last election as I would have removed slavery supporters and for the same reason. Who owns a man? For the liberal it is the majority and the state, for the slave holder it is he.
  
  The current misconception of our nature is far more insidious. Liberalism has been practiced most thoroughly by the communists,socialists and fascists - that worked out well. It is oppression of the individual that is the history of the world.
  
  Where is the coming together in the plunder founded state? It is okay, in your little utopia there is someone to hold your hand, ride the ponies and share ice cream with you. You just stay out of the mean old world.

  Again, your fantasy allows you to feel superior in your disdain for conservatives who disagree with you as well as liberals. My husband is, indeed, a conservative. I have many friends who are conservative and are appalled at the antics of their party. You can pretend that conservatives who disagree with you are not "real" conservatives if that makes you feel better. They are waiting for a leader who will stand up to the likes of those who hate their fellow Americans just because they have a different ideology.
  
  Have a nice day, ucd.

  "their party?" I was unaware of a "Conservative Part" outside of a couple of state parties. I am tired of Republicans not acknowledging that liberal ideology is destructive to civilization and the slow advance of individual liberty. What middle ground was there available in 1860?
  
  The conflict between conservatism and liberalism is the conflict between tyranny and liberty. In 1860 it was over "who owns a man?" Today that question persists. Liberals choose government rather than slave holders as "a mans" owner but the answer never comes back from liberals that "a man owns himself."
  
  What compromise is possible? What admirable idea begins with that idea? What have liberals ever done that has advanced the cause of liberty and the advancement of civilization. As for those who call themselves conservative most stop at the application of government power. That makes them Republicans not conservatives.

  Wow, you think your business pays taxes - that shows how deeply into the delusion you have plunged. Officers, employees, stock holders, customers all pay those taxes. If they weren't collected and transferred to the government by your business what would happen to those dollars?
  
  Would they be paid out in wages, bonuses and dividends? Would they be used to update equipment? Would they be used to reduce employees insurance contributions or increase 401k matching? Individuals pay all taxes. Sales don't pay taxes, property doesn't pay taxes and businesses don't pay taxes.

  Best to keep it simple and therefore incorrect and meaningless - because anything other than simple would just get too confusing for you. I wonder why greed is always used to describe people who wish to keep more of their own property and not those who would use the police power of the government to plunder that property and gift it to them.

Compared to who? Compared to what alternate foreign policy?

President Obama is not running against himself. If/when a candidate shows up with better ideas, I will vote for him (or her). But when I compare what Obama has done, mistakes and all, with any GOP potential presidential candidate, I am grateful for who we have in the oval office.

  Not one of them has a tenth the American EUROPEAN inventory of assets. The Brits fired ALL of their cruise missiles the very first day. None of those countries is capable of extended air action because not one has an aircraft carrier. American defense forces make up the most substantial portion NATO's military capability.
  
  In some cases equaling or surpassing the military capacity of countries containing American bases.
  
  Do a little search on line the vast right wing military empire of the United States spans Europe.
  
  So it is a good thing for Americans to slaughter Libyans for Europe's irrational addiction to Libyan oil? I guess we owe them a favor(except France) for their support during our "unilateral" war in Iraq.
  
  If Iraq was a "unilateral" war and over 20 countries were involved isn't Libya a "unilateral" war - our president is still killing brown people for their oil.

  He is also responsible for the bombing at a German Disco that killed American soldiers - wait they shouldn't be their that is just too darn close to Libya. The fact is that the American soldiers, sailors and airmen are in harms way as much as any of their European counterparts and at least as well if not better capable.

  Then you will be disappointed.
  The history of the U.S. has been inexorably toward a more liberal stance. The repeal of slavery, repeal of the 18th Amendment, women's suffrage, workers rights, civil rights legislation and the current clash over gay rights which will ultimately be won all are movements that are spurred by the liberal agenda.
  These are the things that make me proud to be American. Not where we came from, but how we have evolved.
  A country that has a government by the people, of the people and for the people has been transforming to include more and more of its people under its protections, and these are liberal adjustments to the status quo.

  I find your assertion that these are all liberal notions entertaining. Unless what you mean by liberal is the 18th and 19th century notion of liberalism espoused by Edmund Burke. Who claims Burke now? It certainly isn't those comfortable with centralized economic and political power in the state.
