The militant environmentalist walks arm-in-arm with the pro-choice advocate in the gay pride parade.
Feminism, union love, pro-choice, pro-GLBT, environmentalism, anti-war, anti-capitalism, anti-capital punishment etc.. All pillars of the Liberal Movement's Big Tent.
But what is the "GLUE" that holds them together? Such varied interests, what binds and attracts them to each other?
I'm trying to wrap my head around Liberalism, and I'd like all of the input I can get.
What do you think?

Detroit: Democrat Ideas On Display!
This is a Guest Post by my buddy Hardnox. You can check out his most excellent blog HERE!
Socialist Utopia is a Model City of "Hope & Change"
Welcome to Detroit where the city's population continues to decline. US 2010 Census data reveals that Detroit's has LOST 25% of its population in the last ten years. In 1950 the city had 1.8 million residents. In 2010, it has barely over 700,000, down from about 1 million.
In other words, when most US cities have seen their numbers increase Detroit has declined despite a 50% increase (100 million) of the overall American population in the same time frame.
Detroit at one time had the highest median income of all cities with the USA.
So what happened?
60 years of non-stop Democrat Utopian ideals is what happened. Businesses and residents voted with their feet.
The video describes it quite well.
Another liberal kumbaya wealth-redistribution pipedream up in smoke. Coming to a city near you!
So How's that Hope & Change Thing Working out so far?

Liberals Take a Major Spanking Today
Ok, I get home from church this evening and drop by Foxnews.com The headline that screams at me is " Wisconsin Votes To Strip Union Rights!" Incredible Story! After three weeks of waiting on the 14 cowardly Democrat Senators, Gov. Walker and the Republicans stripped the Collective Bargaining portion out of the budget bill, and passed it as a stand-alone bill.
What really Struck me about this move, was the courage that it took. As time has went on, the unions have rallied protesters and forces in opposition to the union-busting. There has been a considerable amount of public outcry against the Governor. Polls even show that this was an unpopular move to a large portion of Americans. But Governor Walker did what was right, not what was politically expedient! He might have just thrown away all chances at a second term, but he was not elected to be a two-term Governor. He was not elected to please the union folks across America. He was elected to straighten up Wisconsin, and by-golly, that's what he was going to do, regardless of how many union thugs it hair-lipped! Governing from conviction, not opinion polls, commendable Mr. Governor!
The next headline read "NPR Dumps CEO After Hidden-Camera Sting"
OH That felt GOOD! After the despicable way in which they treated Juan Williams last fall, this headline was just SWEET!
Alright, Public Sector Unions. Confiscate money from members. (You can't teach school in WI unless you are a union member.) The Union then takes this Blood Money and campaigns for Democrat lawmakers, spending millions of dollars to get them elected. The Lawmakers are supposed to be the tax-payers representatives in financial negotiations with our civil servants. These law-makers are not negotiating on behalf of the taxpayer however, they are negotiating on behalf of the union. The unions then get sweetheart deals dealt to them, from taxpayers' money. This unholy alliance of confiscated union money and politicians needed to be broken! If in the private sector unions, the union bosses paid huge money to the company reps that were negotiating the contracts, somebody would be going to jail! The company crooks that took the bribe money would at least be fired!
So the Liberals took a spanking today, and I was struck by the fact that both of these situations deal with misappropriated public funds potentially being shut off. (NPR's funding is now in serious jeopardy.) And the libs are fuming! There have been calls for a nationwide general strike, for continued protests, and for a boycott of Wisconsin. Between all of the protests, and now this talk of strikes, this is starting to look like Greece. Libs tried to paint the protests as America's "Egypt Moment", when in truth, it is America's "Greece Moment." When people get addicted to nursing at the teat of the public coffers, they really throw a fit when it's time to wean them!
It's a good day to be a conservative!

Stock Market Update 03/07/2011
All three major indexes plummeted today as investors realized for the very first time that WE DON"T PRODUCE OUR OWN OIL!!! The cross-dressing madman that is target practicing on his own people in Libya has got most rational thinking Americans concerned about the stability of our energy supply. Several high falutin' stock brokers were seen today huddled beneath park benches on Wall Street muttering "Drill Baby Drill".
The White House released information today stating that "President Obama spits in the eye of everyone who doesn't drive a Prius," It was a significant sign of victory for the Obama administration as he closes in on fulfilling his campaign promises of $5.00 per Gallon Gasoline.

More Deplorable Actions From The Left
My Feedburner is now up and running. I apologize to those who attempted to subscribe, but were unable to. As near as I can figure I was hacked by left-wing radicals. I am investigating the Huffington Post, but Michael Moore is also high in the running. New found lib friends Americus Paulytics from Facebook, and HurricaneDean from BrooWaha are also under suspicion.
Disclaimer: This post is purely sarcastic, just a vehicle to inform readers that my RSS subscription link is now up and running.
Cheers.

Equality Schmequality
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. Famous words from The Declaration of Independence, but how much weight do they really carry today?
The attack on these rights begins at conception. While created equal, many men's lives are snuffed out while still in the womb. Equal opportunity doesn't exist for the millions of aborted babies each year. They are all equal in value, and inherent worth as humans, but many never have the chance to recognize the potential that beats inside their tiny chests. Twenty-two percent of all pregnancies in America are aborted! If a child is fortunate enough to actually be born in America, they will find from their first breath on, that environment and personal decisions will be the main factors in how equal we actually are.
The rallying call of late seems to be equality. Folks are marching in the streets under the banner of equality. The disturbing facet of the chant is that most are chanting for equal results, and not equal opportunity. The only way to guarantee equal results is to take away from the high end of the spectrum and redistribute to the low end of the spectrum, leaving the result as a wash somewhere in the middle. So the equal results equation necessitates subtraction. Subtraction. Taking away from. There is a curious condition in the human makeup, that we don't like things being taken away from us. From a two year old's toys to a Union Member's Collective Bargaining Right's, we don't respond well to subtraction. In the economic sense it will punish those at the successful end of the spectrum, taking away from their motivation. Giving freebies to those at the low end of the spectrum does them no favors either. It steals their sense of accomplishment, the thrill of the hunt, and the satisfaction of success, that is so necessary in finding fulfillment.
Equal Opportunity or Equal Results?
The rights addressed in the Declaration of Independence are of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Liberals of today have attacked the right to life, with abortion, and they have misunderstood the pursuit of happiness. It is the PURSUIT of happiness. Your government does not have to guarantee your happiness. The right of Liberty, should open the door for you to pursue your own happiness.
Equal Opportunity?
If the left truly believed in equal opportunity, then they would support school choice programs. There are millions of kids held hostage by teacher's unions in terrible schools. They have no opportunity. They are hardly equal. Give them opportunity, give them choice. This really isn't complicated, freedom of choice when it comes to schools, right to life when it comes to babies. It's all about equality.
All Men Created Equal?
Not hardly. There are men that work much harder than I do. There are men that invested more time and energy into an education than I did. There are men that are much brighter than me, and have business savvy that I'll never possess. There are men that received fortunate breaks, that didn't fall my way. Are we all equal? Not by a long shot. Should I have a claim on the wealth that their lives have afforded them? Not at all. We are not guaranteed equal results. Parity in possessions is not a fundamental right under The Constitution or The Bill of Rights. I prefer a Government that guarantees me an opportunity, but doesn't take it away from me if I manage to succeed. If our government just gives us a chance, the ingenuity, hard work, and perseverance of the American people will shine out to the rest of the world. Just give us opportunity, not equality.

Market Updates
An upbeat mood drove Wall Street today as investors celebrated the fact that someone has FINALLY stood up to the union thugs. With Democrat Senators AWOL for the fifth day in a row, the state of Wisconsin is on the fast track to balance their budget. Speculation that WI Republicans may pass a bill that would fund the stay of Democrats at out-of-state resorts indefinitely, drove all three major indexes higher today.
