people all seem to be Liberals "today". Meaning a modern day Liberal.
If we go by the dictionary every time a label makes us upset then we'd
all be gay. Gay means happy, right?

gov't to do everything for them and force other people to do certain
things. Anti-freedom and anti-choice is a modern day liberal.

So those 10 year/100K miles warranty are now basically 3-5 year warranties. Nice. It is if one drives 20,000 to 30,000 miles a year. Yo! Thing is, I split it between three cars. |
Buying a $20K car, making payments, with interest and depreciation the
car was bought for around $25K and five years later is maybe worth
$10K, plus all that repair work and getting busy, in the hybrid's
case, finding a new battery. Batteries lifetime stamp doesn't say
"4ever and ever"
I wonder what those batteries do to the environment when they're
recycled?
Or when they're made?

I think a more correct term for people who hate/oppose anything that involves freedom or personal choice would be fascist- either right wing or left wing. The correct term is "statist". All the above mentioned people always wish to use the state's power to enforce their desires. That definition defines a "modern day Liberal". They wish for the gov't to do everything for them and force other people to do certain things. Anti-freedom and anti-choice is a modern day liberal. |
It also means modern day "conservatives", who wish to tell people what
thery can and cannot do with their bodies, using the might of the state to
enforce this. The "war" on drugs comes from the right and was the primary
eroder of civil liberties until the terror thing came along.
