Angry liberals have baseless claims

October 3, 2003 by Optimist Reader

Jason Mida’s letter last week exemplifies angry liberalism at its best. When cornered or held accountable to facts, liberals just get louder and more ferocious.

Jason Mida has found himself in the shadow of such radical Democratic Party icons as Ted Kennedy, Howard Dean and the always obnoxious Al Franken.

How can somebody claim Democrats protect freedoms? Liberal Democrats have become notorious for killing the unborn in the name of privacy, taking unfair amounts of tax income and redistributing it as they please and trying to place our country at the mercy of the United Nations.

When Democrats claim to be protecting freedoms, they are usually doing something like helping the ACLU make the Patriot Act user friendly for terrorists.

Time magazine said it best with their recent cover, “They Just Don’t Make Democrats Like They Used To.”

The party of Roosevelt, Truman and JFK was long ago hijacked by radical interest groups.

Now Democrats are more pessimistic than ever and they are wagering their political careers hoping something bad will happen to America.

They are anxiously waiting for the economy to tumble, a terrorist attack or high military casualties in Iraq; anything so they can attempt to propel themselves back into power.

Jason Mida said an activist Supreme Court gave Bush the White House.

That is a liberal lie. Bush won the White House thanks to the voters, regardless of Democrats attempting to exclude overseas military ballots.

The Supreme Court ruling was merely the final confirmation that Bush had won. It’s the Democrats who oppose free elections when they don’t agree with the outcomes.

Jason Mida also mentioned you should see where the Bush tax cuts actually went. Well, if you check it out, you will find they went to, believe it or not, people who pay taxes. It’s only fair.
