……Liberals base their position on a rejection of individual liberty if it conflicts with societal -- read liberal -- norms. We see this when liberals reject the concept that the people have inalienable rights.
While liberals deny that they reject the concept of individual rights, from a phenomenological perspective, liberals demonstrate their true beliefs by their continual attacks on individual liberty -- unless the liberty, such as burning a flag, is congruent with liberal dogma -- as evidenced by their continual attacks on the First Amendment.
The HHS mandate in ObamaCare is a clear attack on the rights of people to not directly fund or support practices that contradict their religious beliefs in direct contradiction of the First Amendment.
Liberals in the Senate are trying to repeal the First Amendment by giving Congress the right to control all spending on informing the voters how candidates for office stand on the issues. Senate liberals want to silence all voices that disagree with them by using the power of government, thereby abrogating the inalienable right of free speech on political matters which all Americans currently enjoy based on the Constitution.
Liberals stood strong for the rights of anti-war protesters to demonstrate, and even blockade, Army recruitment centers, yet they also have eagerly imposed bubbles of silence around abortion mills where it is a crime to offer a pamphlet to a woman. These zones are not directed at pro-abortion speech, only at those who wish to end the barbaric practice of killing inconvenient children. Here liberals wish to make the First Amendment content specific; only liberal thought is protected while all others are silenced.
Liberals constantly support the “fairness” doctrine that violates the First Amendment by demanding that certain media outlets, only those who disagree with liberals, speak as much in support of liberal beliefs as they do in support of conservative beliefs no matter what the people who run the media sites believe.
Another way to see the tyrannical core of modern liberalism and their rejection of individual rights is to look at how liberals react to liberal politicians' rejection of the rule of law.
Whether it’s Jerry Brown refusing to defend Prop 8, thereby disenfranchising the majority of California voters, or Obama changing and creating laws with his magical pen, liberals who nearly died of anguish when Bush did something they thought was “imperial” are shouting out that liberal politicians who reject laws they don’t like are heroes.
In America today, we face a new imperial threat. While King George is long gone, a new set of oppressors that believe, as George did, in the top-down authority of the government and the lack of rights of individuals has grown so strong as to threaten the very basis of liberty in America……
