I caught an article today that contained words from a man named John Orman, who is a political science professor at Fairfield University, requesting that Joe Lieberman should be kept off the ballot in Connecticut’s coming election. I understand there might be some hard feelings am
ong some voters over there, but isn’t it Lieberman’s constitutional right to run for Senator, or any other office for that matter?
I have heard similar claims on other democrat message boards and what not, but this is one of the most prominent persons I have seen who is advocating violating the constitution. Actions like professor Orman’s are why I believe democrats are talking out of their back sides when it comes to civil liberties.
Back when Lamont won the Democrat primary Cheney had some harsh words to share about supporting the Al-Qaeda candidate, or something along those lines. Democrats and leftists called Cheney out for fear mongering. I don’t blame the dems for saying as such because that sounds a lot like fear mongering to me. However, who do the democrats think they are complaining about fear mongering? You would think that if liberals are complaining so much about fear mongering wouldn’t they want to do it from a non hypocritical standpoint?
Liberals are screaming loudest over the alleged loss of civil liberties (and the Iraqi Freedom arm of the GWoT, but that is a different post), all of this spearheaded by the ACLU. What is the official ACLU position on the right to keep and bear arms? They believe arms of any type should only be use by militias. Read for yourself here. Liberals are picking and choosing their battles about constitutional rights and using a fear mongering tactic to discredit Bush and win opposition votes. Lamont’s entire anti-war campaign is based on fear mongering about Bush’s handling about Iraq.
Think about some of the stuff you read in the news and on liberal websites. Recall the cries of “this country is going downhill,” “bush is destroying America,” “Bush is a fascist,” “jackbooted government thugs are gonna get us,” etc. All of this stuff is fear mongering. Don’t let the left fool you with their dishonest talking points.
Continuing with the civil liberties discussion, I will admit the Bush’s actions may very well be in violation of the constitution, however, liberals are ignoring other parts of the constitution such as the amendments that give citizen’s the right to a fair trial and presumes their innocence. Combine this with the liberal disdain for the 2nd amendment and the denying of the right to life to countless children, and the left is no worse than the right is when it comes to constitutional violations.
