Tough to be a 70’s - 80’s - 90’s liberal in these days. Much of today’s Republican party is more liberal than the Democrats dreamed of being in those years. Starting with the end of Bill Clinton’s last term, the democrats have turned into something of a horned devil, bent on the destruction of life as we know it. Even the most ardent liberal of the late 80’s, if he/she is true to their beliefs could never follow today’s woke crowd.
Look at some of the most liberal thoughts. An example. Being a Transgender meant doing one’s best to pass un-noticed. Today, its flaunted like a badge of courage, forced on others, making themselves a clown show to anyone with serious thoughts. Other liberal ideas also defy logic.
yet, what shocks me is how much the coasties both east and west (not to be confused with the United States Coast Guard) and in a few cases like Chicago and the front range of Colorado) strongly follow this trend. Today’s liberal is doing their best to change what is good to bad and what is bad to good. Its just plain crazy.
So, much of liberal thought permeated my beliefs. Equal treatment for all races, an affordable health insurance (for both the insured and the insurers) and a balanced budget. Still I strongly classified myself as conservative. Friends always reminded me that i was (a conservative) So now, Please, Please don’t confuse me with any of those crazy shit for brain liberals that freely roan the planet and seem to congregate in large cities of the United States of America.
What is so funny yet so wrong has always been the liberal belief that if one does not buy in 100% with each and every liberal belief, one is not a liberal. This was reinforced by professors who I knew when I was earning my bachelors degree after returning from Vietnam. Same today, either you are a shit for brain, beyond crazy liberal, strongly supporting each and every belief of the batshit crazy liberals, you are not one of them. And, I suppose, I never have been and never will be.
