Loyalists vs. Liberals: Identity Theft

It's funny how the Republicans like to profess their dislike of liberals and their affection for the "founding fathers” of the United States. Funny, because the founding fathers were liberals. They stood together and revolted against the established order. Only about a third of Colonists supported independence. Come the revolution, that American revolution, these Republicans would have been among the royalists/loyalists.

Substitute "liberal" for "Communist" and many of the Republican attack ads are recycled from the Red Scare days of the 1950s. Listen to an ad and try it yourself. Are you now, or have you ever been, a liberal?

The administration is full of self-styled "conservatives". But considering how they've increased the debt, it would be more appropriate to call them spendthrifts. Instead of "tax and spend" they favor "borrow and spend". The proverbial drunken sailor is limited to wasting their own pocket money: this bunch are drunken sailors with credit cards – and the credit cards have your kids' names on them. This identity theft will leave the next generation with debt, white elephants (masquerading as weapons systems), smoldering wars, and a tarnished reputation for justice.
