"Liberals hide their views until they get power " Ridiculous freeper rant
Advertisements [?]
This guy sounds like a limbodot. There is another just above it that is even worse. It compiles all the lies in the Plame case and presents them a "troof to tell". With members like these the Colorado Republican Party doesn't need any enemies.

These guys give humanity a bad name, not to mention any sane Republicans that may be left in Colorado.

"What arrant nonsense Joel Klein spouted about truly thoughtful people abandoning their preconceived ideologies when placed in positions of ultimate authority (“Perhaps justices see the light after appointment,” Letters, July 26). Justices such as David Souter or Sandra Day O’Connor don’t suddenly grow into their roles and become better people; they awaken to the fact that, at long last, they can impose their will on other people, making them both very bad judges and typical liberals.

Liberals like to portray themselves as altruists, caring for the poor and disadvantaged who would be left to their own devices by cruel, heartless conservatives. In truth, liberalism is a philosophy of the hedonist. The majority of liberals don’t do things to help the poor and disadvantaged; they do things so they will feel better about themselves at little or no personal cost. In fact, they get a quadruple thrill out of it: they feel good about themselves for having done something, regardless of the consequences, which are often disastrous; they feel better about themselves because it hasn’t cost a dime of their own, the typical liberal gesture almost always being at public expense; they feel better about themselves because it hasn’t inconvenienced them, liberal gestures almost always requiring someone else’s time and effort; they feel really good about themselves because they’ve managed to reach into the pocket and compel the time and energy of greedy, selfish conservatives.

Most often, they do this by judicial fiat.

It is not the job of judges to ensure fairness or equality, nor is their job to correct the wrongs of society. Those things are the province of the people themselves, usually through the offices of their elected representatives. The job of any judge is to apply the law. That’s all they’re meant to do and that’s why justices like Ruth Bader Ginsburg or David Souter are terrible examples, because they can’t separate law from their personal prejudices."
