Strom Thurmond - A True Liberal

1978 Interview

"I think so far as liberalism goes, it depends. I mean, it's hard to find. A true liberal is to be admired. But the word "liberal" today, is one that believes in big government, the one that doesn't trust the people, you've got to have an almighty government here to protect him from the time he's born until he goes to his grave. Now I abhor that type of government. I believe in incentive, only putting restrictions 'round that you have to have, turn 'em loose and let 'em work hard, save, have something, have incentive to do things. And with all the laws we've got today restricting business, I don't see hardly how a business can operate, to tell you the truth. And I'm not for big business—the very reason I say that is because I'm for the working people and I think it's best for the working people to have these opportunities rather than putting restrictions around it that the federal government is doing. I think they've gone too far in that respect."

They say that the devil is in the detail's. Well, certainly if that is true, Strom is burning in Hell for the specific's of the detail's that apply to him & his life. Ronny & Randy will one day be burning in Hell for the bullshit that applies to them, too.

[SpookeyR]

Strom was not a liberal! He was a bigoted, and vastly hypocritical, conservative. Which is funny, bc that's exactly what most conservative's are!

Look at Ron & Randy Paul. They are both hypocrite's as well & while neither of them are the bigoted scum that Strom was, they are there are own warped version of a "white supremacist shill".

@SpookeyR :)

@doc: Or, I'm right in at least one of the two possibilities that I presented! Tho, they may both be true, as well.

I recommend, with the the highest recommendation's possible, that you cut off and/or out your sexual organ's so that you can no longer contaminate the rest of the human race with your defective seed. It just IS the right thing to do!

[doczg88]

@SpookeyR Or there is a third possibility ;) enjoy.

[SpookeyR]

@doc: Perhaps you're right! But, while you try to explain that I've done something so horrible you only try to explain what a conservative is, at least from your point of view, in the most meager & vague of possible description's, at least from my point of view...

Right now there is an issue with my audio, so I'm not going to comment on something about this video when I can't listen to it. But, you clearly are either a troll looking for a fight or just an idiot who is full-on retarded!

@RainyMoonProductions may I ask you where do you live? State and place if you want to answer.

@SpookeyR you take very narrow deffinition of conservatism. At the essence of conservatism is what do we wish to conserve? C. don't believe all thing should be conserved and they are not against every change. They are not for change per se. To change only to change things. They hold some values eternal but want tehnical and societal progress. You've taken extremely extremist deffinition of conservatives.

@MrDustock Please it was because of his character, not of the time. He died without publicing acknowledging his black daughter. In the years of 2000 you cannot acknowledge that you took advantage of your black maid and got her pregnant? Being of the times, is just an excuse.

@RainyMoonProductions Well, whose to stop big government from getting out of hand and oppressing the states or American people? You may think the people could, but once the people become used to relying on big government for everything, they refuse to wean themselves of big government and the result is soaring deficits and financial collapse.
