AFter all, this is the country where "liberal" is used as a term of abuse whose connotiations mean "nigger-fucking sluts and fag" and which straightfowardly says "insufficiently fascist".<br /><br />Liberal has not, is not, and never will mean "left". Not without several millenia of language evolution anyways.<br /><br />Face it, your entire language, American, has been carefully constructed to make thought-crimes more difficult.Richard Kuliszhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05450367878517586463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6609536178570975752.post-52997873261881542172007-10-28T12:14:00.000-07:002007-10-28T12:14:00.000-07:00Obviously. haha Some on the left here don't even ...Obviously. haha Some on the left here don't even want to change things.Pantograph Trolleypolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17833159138533550544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6609536178570975752.post-78882947416573837962007-10-28T11:54:00.000-07:002007-10-28T11:54:00.000-07:00The average French conservative is somewhat to the...The average French conservative is somewhat to the left of most U.S. so-called liberals.kenfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08276884726616782475noreply@blogger.com
