This page is dedicated to the philosophy of the Liberal, done in an effort to help folks better understand why liberals think the way they do. Let’s begin with a simple definition of a Liberal. Generally this is any person who has the follow two values, 1) Redistribution of the wealth; and 2) they truely believe they know what is best for everyone else, regardless of what you value or believe. In my further installments I will continue to espouse on the liberal philosophy and give concrete examples of real world persons that reflect that philosophy.
What Liberals Say vs. Don’t Say
When listening to liberals one must be careful to listen for what they don’t say. The reason for this is liberals have a very difficult time talking directly to an issue. Take for example, Hillary’s explanation of her support for or against drivers license for illegals. She talked around the issue say she either did or didn’t support it, but understood how Spitzer could support it, because he was faced with a problem created by the Bush administration. Liberals always seem to be looking over their mental shoulders or sniffing the political air.
Here’s a great Liberal quote, “I like to think of America as a suffering patient, where Hillary is an experienced doctor. What we need here is some good medicine.”
Like the typical Liberal, their philosophy is to convince the public that they are sick, poor, down trodden, and generally worse off than they really are. And government (aka, Hillary’s “village”) is always the answer.
And the conservative philosophy is “I’ve got mine. F— you.”
Now that we’ve established subtlety and accuracy isn’t this blog, what’s left?
Thanks for you good reporting and spot on analysis, Night Train.
Ed Darell, you shmuck, you don’t even read. Democrats are the party of the wealthy elite and serve the wealthiest districts.
Let me make sure I’ve got your logic right: Democrats really represent the rich people, and the rich people are all for wealth redistribution?
One doesn’t need a class in formal or informal logic to see the hole there.
It’s not their wealth they are redistributing, it’s the middle class’ wealth. Now do you get it?
democract = socialist, right?
You have your opinions but here’s one for you: what parties do you like going to? Ones hosted by those who are republicans or those hosted by liberals?
I have to be honest with you, I have more fun at the Progressive Democrats’ parties.
Mick:
I agree, but the republicans usually have the better alcohol!!
Right again. And Cuban cigars!
Generally the Political Night Train applies the cold beer test. Given who attends the party, would you drink a cold beer with them.
You are seriously full of crap.
Please go back to your double-wide!
One man’s crap is another man’s grist.
I’ve got a humidor full of Cuban cigars, and some Black Seal Rum, key limes and Mountain Dew for Mohitas. Fidel is rotting right now with maggots crawling around in his belly.
Sounds like a party.
And we’ll be partying when Obama beats Hillary in delegates before their big convention.
Next, we’ll party when McCain/Romney or McCain/Rice win the presidency.
We need a lot of cigars my man!
Cigars, Rum, and a victory. My kind of party. Checkout the American Power blog at http://americanpowerblog.blogspot.com/.
How about McCain/Liberman?
I like it. You are an astute man of letters, economics and politics. American Power is a great name as well.
I like McCain/Lieberman.
A dream ticket would be McCain/Schwarzenneger, but that has a constitutional problem, of course.
Now I’m thinking it will be McCain/Perry (the governor of Texas) may be the one.

I disagree. Conservative Philosophy is stick to traditional values.
A Liberal is a person so generous that he will give you the shirt off of someone else’s back.
ha ha, neddy
You know, I don’t pretend to talk for anyone besides myself (unlike you fellas who seem pretty content to stand your little selves on the shoulders of some fairly big and numerous ignoramuses and a-holes) but if I was trying to make a statement about liberalism or conservatism I’d of come with some real facts not a series of one-liners you’d squeezed out of Bill O’Reilly’s ass.
Toodles.
A Liberal is a person so ignorant that he cannot express himself without using vulgarities.
Richard Cheney. Richard Nixon. George W. Bush. Raymond Donovan. John McCain. Donald Rumsfeld.
A conservative is someone who has no answer other than one-liners that come from the place Marc specified, and so tries to deflect the obviously true charge of prevarication by pointing to the straight language in which the claim was made.
Would “anal orifice” have been a good, non-profane phrase to substitute for the euphemism “ass?”
Right, liberal vulgarities…
Bill O’Reilly say what then?
To, Ed Darrell,
Well, here is how it goes with us conservatives.
I got mine by working how about you working for yours and leave mine alone.
Land of the free was never meant to be welfare……
Wow ! That was unbiased. Such is the position of the modern american, pick the side I most identify with and attack the other. “I don’t like you, I don”t understand you, I hate you”. Like a bunch of scared little kids. Left, right, conservative, liberal, you’re all a bunch of crying little sissies.
