While reading the paper this morning my liberal coworker asked me to read a column written by David Waters in the Memphis Commercial Appeal for Sunday. In this article Mr Waters states that he is constantly getting emails accusing him of being a liberal. I will quote some of the article here. "Third why do so many people think I am a liberal? I used to be a liberal. Then I had teenagers." "And even if I am a liberal, so what?" Moses, Jesus and Muhammad were too liberal for the religious and political leaders of their time". He also considers being called a liberal a great compliment. Let's stop here a moment. Liberals love to say Jesus was a liberal. Sure He taught caring for the poor, but were I a betting man I would wager He would be pro-life. I really see no liberal leanings in Moses at all. He was a butt kicker who supported the death penalty. And Muhammad was a pedophile who was envious of the stature of Christian leaders and came up with his own religion. A religion of belittling and marginalizing Christians at best. Killing them wantonly in the name of Allah. Now, he is liberal. Reminds me of Howard Dean. Then Mr Waters goes on to give some definitions of what the word liberal means. 1. Favorable to progress and reform. 2. Free from prejudice and bigotry. 3. Characterized by generosity and willingness to give in large amounts. These are just a few he gives. He failed to mention how liberalism also gives us manufactured babies to slaughter so stem cells can be harvested. He also fails to mention how liberalism gave us the freedom to murder millions of unborn children. Looking at how it all balances out, the manufacture and slaughter of babies for fetal stem cells, the wholesale murder for profit of unborn children I fail to see how being called a liberal could be any kind of compliment.
