CPT Jack Durish, I like the article. It accurately points out the differences between liberals and leftists. Unfortunately, the difference is lost on many Americans today. As a conservative, I know I have many differences with my liberal associates, but we both have serious differences with the Left. Americans just don't understand that the Left, personified in the Democrat Party, is entirely intent on destroying the US as originally founded. Pres Obama tried, but the inherent intelligence of the American voters put the Republicans in Congress and the Executive. They should be busily undoing almost all that Pres Obama and the Dems did. Unfortunately, Congress is moving SLOW.

Congress isn't even moving a glacial speed. Glaciers move with power, scouring all in their paths. This Congress is avoiding all.

SFC Bernard Walko - I think it depends on where you look. Perhaps in Washington the difference is more between establishment career politicians and the voters. In my community, I see real differences between the people I know vote democrat and myself. They support abortion and gun control. I support life and the 2nd Amendment. They want more government intruding in our lives to regulate and support almost everything. I want less government at less cost to stay out of our private lives and encourage us to support ourselves. They are ready with a hand out while I would rather offer a hand up. They support and control the unions; I believe in right to work.

Excellent article. Amazing how many confuse liberty with liberals. Liberalism is about as autocratic as they come. The Democrat party doesn't even use democracy to select their primary nominee relying on superdelgates as a way to prevent a "grass roots movement." It's a platform of the elites based on lies to the populace.

CPT Jack Durish I hate ideology of any kind. The reason is because when you have an opinion that is outside the norms of that ideology, those with a similar ideology look at you like you just farted on an elevator.
