So you’re saying they are called ‘lib’ ironically? I hope to pass on some of the thoughts in this thread, if everyone is happy for me to do so.

its kind of like the word Gay.

The word never meant homosexual until the homos coined it as their own.

And then it was used as a pejorative. Copy?

Reporting this to administrators for hate speech. Your bigotry is unwelcomed.

I’ve called in the authorities, i regret believing this could be discussed in good faith for even a short period.

Thank you to those who actually made an attempt.

While you are entitled to your opinion, I don’t think that post is particularly in the spirit of the OP and could be viewed as a little inflammatory. I’m aware this thread could easily spin out and kindly ask you to reconsider whether your words will aid or hinder what I hope to be discussed and edit appropriately, knuckle, and I ask that with utmost respect.

I will say the usage is quite accurate, its a word people use without thought, didn't seem like you were asking the origins, but why its used as an insult today. It's an oversimplification of anyone that doesn't agree with their version of conservative party values to discredit someone else's opinion with name calling.

Thank you for that context, it’s very helpful. I don’t blame you for the screaming gibberlings entering, I was naiive to believe they wouldn’t.

P99 forum moderators are slowly and systemically purging the conservative voices on this forum. If you wont believe me, look at the thread I just posted.

Sadly, American liberals are not free thinkers, nor do they allow freedom of thought or expression that runs contrary to their own ideology. Hence me being banned on this forum for having an avatar of the sitting President of the United States.

There is a lot of ambiguity in the word liberal, but at its root, classical liberals are good people that lien far more libertarian than to the left. Progressives and Socialists highjacked the word liberal as their own.

Nope sorry free thinkers throughout history have been associated with liberalism, who will at any point if something proves them wrong, change their view to what is correct. YOu on the other hand just have your own opinion, and no MATTER WHAT or WHO tells you, you are wrong, you will never listen. To pretend conservative minds are free thinkers is probably one of the most laughable phrases in history. conservatism on the other hand is known to be stuck in their way, and despise change.

I can tell by your response that you did not read my post in its entirety.

Seek employment

Seek supporting not a 1 term loser, who never accomplished one thing during his presidency other than tax breaks for corporations and the rich, that didnt increase employment, wages, or the GDP. Obama's economy better. FACT
