<p>Elliottpfitz: </p> <hr /> <div>''The Room'' is a independent film written, directed by, and starring Tommy Wiseau. It had a limited release in 2003. <br /> <br /> == Plot ==<br /> <br /> Johnny and his fiancee, Lisa are living together in San Francisco. Johnny's best friend, Mark, is having an affair with Lisa behind Johnny's back because Lisa finds Johnny boring. Meanwhile, Lisa's mother has been diagnosed with breast cancer, Johnny acquires a top secret client at his bank job whose identity he's sworn to protect, and Johnny's other friend, Gerald, diagnosis Lisa as a sociopath, prompting Mark to almost throw him off a roof. The affair is exposed at Johnny's birthday party. The events lead Johnny to commit suicide, causing Lisa and Mark agony over what they have done.<br /> <br /> == Production struggles == <br /> <br /> Director Tommy Wiseau sent a copy of the acclaimed film to Paramount Pictures, and they scathingly returned the copy within a week. Also, Wieseau eagerly sent his masterpiece to the Academy Awards, in the hopes that it would win in Oscar. This wonderful movie, because of the rational, conservative values it promotes, did not win such a prestigious award. This speaks volumes about the film industry's liberal-friendly [[Hollywood values]]. Also, the film was independently made, and the patriotic Wiseau financed the whole film himself, as he had become wealthy through the hard work and determination that our free market economy rewards generously. It's clear he did not have support from the liberal movie industry, and every one knows that liberals hate an underdog.&lt;ref&gt; The Disaster Artist by Greg Sestero &amp; Tom Bissel &lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == Analysis ==<br /> <br /> The film is a moral lesson on the dangers of living in sin and adultery. Had Lisa and Johnny not lived together, Lisa would have never been bored with Johnny until after they were married. Had Mark not had an adulterous relationship with Lisa behind Johnny's back, Johnny would not have committed suicide. The film underlines how your selfish actions can hurt others more than you realize. <br /> <br /> == Legacy ==<br /> <br /> The film has a mere 33% percent on Rotten Tomatoes, but this is due to the fact that Hollywood critics initially misunderstood the film due to their liberal biases. The film is now recognized for the masterpiece it is by most rational moviegoers. By acknowledging that Wiseau's film is a work of art, liberal critic elitists would basically admit their morals are shaky at best. Countless classics received low or mixed reviews in their own time because liberals can't recognize quality when they see it.<br /> <br /> Cinemas all around the world screen it, as moviegoers finally have embraced its wonderful acting, dialogue, directing, and universal conservative values. Many bring their families, especially young children, as an introduction/reinforcement of Christian family values. The film is enjoyed all the same by non-Christians as well.<br /> <br /> {{category:Movies}} {{category:Conservative}}</div>

Then-Disney Chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg also mentioned that he wanted &quot;a feminist twist&quot; on the original fairy tale by creating a heroine who is &quot;a departure from typical Disney female characters&quot;,&lt;ref&gt;http://articles.mcall.com/1991-11-22/features/2825583_1_beast-s-castle-fairy-tale-madame-gabrielle&lt;/ref&gt; and Linda Woolverton made clear that she made Belle a feminist and based her on the women's liberation movement in order to avoid creating another insipid princess.&lt;ref name=&quot;Beauty and Maleficent&quot;&gt;{{Cite web|url = http://time.com/2798136/maleficent-beauty-beast-writer/|title = The Same Woman Wrote Maleficent and Beauty and the Beast—Here’s How They’re Linked|date = May 30, 2014|accessdate = January 16, 2014|website = Time|publisher = |last = Rothman|first = Lily}}&lt;/ref&gt; Gaston is a conservative and hardworking hunter who is considered by the villagers to be their town hero, but is shown to be the main villain of the movie (it should also be noted that in the original screenplay for the film, Gaston was intended to be a Marquess [French nobleman], meaning the decision to make him a conservative and hardworking hunter was made after a rewrite). In addition, the villagers (strongly implied to be practicing and devout Christians) were later briefly seen supporting a plan that went against God's teachings. In addition, Belle's love for Beast (where it is implied that she was largely unaware of the Beast being formerly a human prince) could be seen as promoting bestiality. Also, it is the first Disney movie to neither show nor hint at the two love interests getting married, and in fact, the only &quot;wedding&quot; in the film was the one Belle ruined, creating negative implications about marriage as a result, as well as starting a string of movies that don't paint marriage in a positive light. There were also several overtones of a pro-homosexual agenda within the film, including the mob song late into the film, largely because of the executive producer, Howard Ashman, being gay and dying from AIDs at the time the film was made. One of the protagonistic characters, Lumiere, is briefly seen making out with a featherduster and was implied that the two weren't married, with some hints at Lumiere being a unrepentant womanizer. In addition, some elements of the film were later reused in the [[Essay:Worst Liberal Movies#Maleficent|definitely liberal]] ''Maleficent'' movie.&lt;ref name=&quot;Beauty and Maleficent&quot; /&gt;<br /> |$ 25,487,028<br /> |-<br /> |''[[Titanic]]''<br /> |1997<br /> |PG-13<br /> |Every life had value and the most powerful men gave up their seats on lifeboats to women and children first; the media and a young [[RINO]] are rightly criticized; broke the record in movie revenues.

The prequel trilogy also had some implied pot-shots at then-president George W. Bush and his War on Terror, and there was also an implied promotion of moral relativity in Revenge of the Sith (where Obi-Wan, when confronting Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader in the climax, stated in reply to Anakin's declaration that Obi-Wan is his enemy if he's not with him that &quot;only a Sith deals in absolutes.&quot;).<br /> |$460,998,007<br /> |}<br /> <br /> == Debatable Whether Great ==<br /> <br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable sortable&quot;<br /> |-<br /> !Film<br /> !Year<br /> !Rating<br /> !Comments<br /> !Gross (Domestic)<br /> |-<br /> <br /> |Unknown<br /> |-<br /> |''Bugs Bunny's Space Jam''<br /> |1996<br /> |PG<br /> |Michael Jordan uses the help of beloved children's characters from the 1950s (a simpler time in America's history) to beat back foreign invaders who wish to take away our freedoms.<br /> |$ 90,443,603<br /> |-<br /> |''[[One Good Cop]]'' <br /> |1991<br /> |R<br /> |Titular [[New York City]] police detective (Michael Keaton) and his wife (Rene Russo) inherit a family-three small girls-when the detective's partner (Anthony Lapaglia) dies on duty.

Although by comparison a powerful and immensely popular antidote to [[feminism]] to the [[liberal]] movies churned out by [[Disney]] since, as well as overall promoting redemption (as seen with the Beast's transformation), and also promoting some family values (such as Belle being loyal to her father), there were a few hints at feminist propaganda at the beginning of the film, such as Belle being different from the villagers because she can read, which is implied to not be supported by the villagers at all (feminist propaganda often claims that women couldn't get an education until the 1960s), as well as Belle being unwilling to hold the role of housewife for Gaston or raising children. Then-Disney Chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg also mentioned that he wanted &quot;a feminist twist&quot; on the original fairy tale by creating a heroine who is &quot;a departure from typical Disney female characters&quot;,&lt;ref&gt;http://articles.mcall.com/1991-11-22/features/2825583_1_beast-s-castle-fairy-tale-madame-gabrielle&lt;/ref&gt; and Linda Woolverton made clear that she made Belle a feminist and based her on the women's liberation movement in order to avoid creating another insipid princess.&lt;ref name=&quot;Beauty and Maleficent&quot;&gt;{{Cite web|url = http://time.com/2798136/maleficent-beauty-beast-writer/|title = The Same Woman Wrote Maleficent and Beauty and the Beast—Here’s How They’re Linked|date = May 30, 2014|accessdate = January 16, 2014|website = Time|publisher = |last = Rothman|first = Lily}}&lt;/ref&gt; Gaston is a conservative and hardworking hunter who is considered by the villagers to be their town hero, but is shown to be the main villain of the movie (it should also be noted that in the original screenplay for the film, Gaston was intended to be a Marquess [French nobleman], meaning the decision to make him a conservative and hardworking hunter was made after a rewrite). In addition, the villagers (strongly implied to be practicing and devout Christians) were later briefly seen supporting a plan that went against God's teachings. In addition, Belle's love for Beast (where it is implied that she was largely unaware of the Beast being formerly a human prince) could be seen as promoting bestiality. Also, it is the first Disney movie to neither show nor hint at the two love interests getting married, and in fact, the only &quot;wedding&quot; in the film was the one Belle ruined, creating negative implications about marriage as a result, as well as starting a string of movies that don't paint marriage in a positive light. There were also several overtones of a pro-homosexual agenda within the film, including the mob song late into the film, largely because of the executive producer, Howard Ashman, being gay and dying from AIDs at the time the film was made. One of the protagonistic characters, Lumiere, is briefly seen making out with a featherduster and was implied that the two weren't married, with some hints at Lumiere being a unrepentant womanizer.

The prequel trilogy also had some implied pot-shots at then-president George W. Bush and his War on Terror, and there was also an implied promotion of moral relativity in Revenge of the Sith (where Obi-Wan, when confronting Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader in the climax, stated in reply to Anakin's declaration that Obi-Wan is his enemy if he's not with him that &quot;only a Sith deals in absolutes.&quot;).<br /> |$460,998,007<br /> |}<br /> <br /> == Debatable Whether Great ==<br /> <br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable sortable&quot;<br /> |-<br /> !Film<br /> !Year<br /> !Rating<br /> !Comments<br /> !Gross (Domestic)<br /> |-<br /> <br /> |Unknown<br /> |-<br /> |''Bugs Bunny's Space Jam''<br /> |1996<br /> |PG<br /> |Michael Jordan uses the help of beloved children's characters from the 1950s (a simpler time in America's history) to beat back foreign invaders who wish to take away our freedoms.<br /> |$ 90,443,603<br /> |-<br /> |''[[One Good Cop]]'' <br /> |1991<br /> |R<br /> |Titular [[New York City]] police detective (Michael Keaton) and his wife (Rene Russo) inherit a family-three small girls-when the detective's partner (Anthony Lapaglia) dies on duty.

Although by comparison a powerful and immensely popular antidote to [[feminism]] to the [[liberal]] movies churned out by [[Disney]] since, as well as overall promoting redemption (as seen with the Beast's transformation), and also promoting some family values (such as Belle being loyal to her father), there were a few hints at feminist propaganda at the beginning of the film, such as Belle being different from the villagers because she can read, which is implied to not be supported by the villagers at all (feminist propaganda often claims that women couldn't get an education until the 1960s), as well as Belle being unwilling to hold the role of housewife for Gaston or raising children. Then-Disney Chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg also mentioned that he wanted &quot;a feminist twist&quot; on the original fairy tale by creating a heroine who is &quot;a departure from typical Disney female characters&quot;,&lt;ref&gt;http://articles.mcall.com/1991-11-22/features/2825583_1_beast-s-castle-fairy-tale-madame-gabrielle&lt;/ref&gt; and Linda Woolverton made clear that she made Belle a feminist and based her on the women's liberation movement in order to avoid creating another insipid princess.&lt;ref name=&quot;Beauty and Maleficent&quot;&gt;{{Cite web|url = http://time.com/2798136/maleficent-beauty-beast-writer/|title = The Same Woman Wrote Maleficent and Beauty and the Beast—Here’s How They’re Linked|date = May 30, 2014|accessdate = January 16, 2014|website = Time|publisher = |last = Rothman|first = Lily}}&lt;/ref&gt; Gaston is a conservative and hardworking hunter who is considered by the villagers to be their town hero, but is shown to be the main villain of the movie (it should also be noted that in the original screenplay for the film, Gaston was intended to be a Marquess [French nobleman], meaning the decision to make him a conservative and hardworking hunter was made after a rewrite). In addition, the villagers (strongly implied to be practicing and devout Christians) were later briefly seen supporting a plan that went against God's teachings. In addition, Belle's love for Beast (where it is implied that she was largely unaware of the Beast being formerly a human prince) could be seen as promoting bestiality. Also, it is the first Disney movie to neither show nor hint at the two love interests getting married, and in fact, the only &quot;wedding&quot; in the film was the one Belle ruined, creating negative implications about marriage as a result, as well as starting a string of movies that don't paint marriage in a positive light. There were also several overtones of a pro-homosexual agenda within the film, including the mob song late into the film, largely because of the executive producer, Howard Ashman, being gay and dying from AIDs at the time the film was made. One of the protagonistic characters, Lumiere, is briefly seen making out with a featherduster and was implied that the two weren't married, with some hints at Lumiere being a unrepentant womanizer.

<p>Elliottpfitz: </p> <hr /> <div>''The Room'' is a independent film written, directed by, and starring Tommy Wiseau. It had a limited release in 2003. <br /> <br /> == Plot ==<br /> <br /> Johnny and his fiancee, Lisa are living together in San Francisco. Johnny's best friend, Mark, is having an affair with Lisa behind Johnny's back because Lisa finds Johnny boring. Meanwhile, Lisa's mother has been diagnosed with breast cancer, Johnny acquires a top secret client at his bank job whose identity he's sworn to protect, and Johnny's other friend, Gerald, diagnosis Lisa as a sociopath, prompting Mark to almost throw him off a roof. The affair is exposed at Johnny's birthday party. The events lead Johnny to commit suicide, causing Lisa and Mark agony over what they have done.<br /> <br /> == Production struggles == <br /> <br /> Director Tommy Wiseau sent a copy of the acclaimed film to Paramount Pictures, and they scathingly returned the copy within a week. Also, Wieseau eagerly sent his masterpiece to the Academy Awards, in the hopes that it would win in Oscar. This wonderful movie, because of the rational, conservative values it promotes, did not win such a prestigious award. This speaks volumes about the film industry's liberal-friendly [[Hollywood values]]. Also, the film was independently made, and the patriotic Wiseau financed the whole film himself, as he had become wealthy through the hard work and determination that our free market economy rewards generously. It's clear he did not have support from the liberal movie industry, and every one knows that liberals hate an underdog.&lt;ref&gt; The Disaster Artist by Greg Sestero &amp; Tom Bissel &lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == Analysis ==<br /> <br /> The film is a moral lesson on the dangers of living in sin and adultery. Had Lisa and Johnny not lived together, Lisa would have never been bored with Johnny until after they were married. Had Mark not had an adulterous relationship with Lisa behind Johnny's back, Johnny would not have committed suicide. The film underlines how your selfish actions can hurt others more than you realize. <br /> <br /> == Legacy ==<br /> <br /> The film is still occasionally screened at midnight in California. Many bring their families, especially young children, as an introduction/reinforcement of Christian family values. The film is enjoyed all the same by non-Christians as well.<br /> <br /> {{category:Movies}}</div>

<p>Elliottpfitz: </p> <hr /> <div>[[File:Stephencolbert2.jpg|thumb|Colbert performing a bit on ''The Daily Show'']]<br /> <br /> '''Stephen Colbert''' is a writer, a comedian, and an actor. Colbert is [[Catholic]], an erstwhile Sunday school teacher,&lt;ref&gt;http://www.tvsquad.com/2006/07/13/ask-tv-squad-stephen-colbert-teaches-sundayschool/&lt;/ref&gt; and a self-proclaimed [[liberal]] [[Democrat]]. &lt;ref&gt;http://www.rollingstone.com/news/coverstory/jon_stewart_stephen_colbert_americas_anchors/page/4 Rolling Stone Interview, Oct 31, 2006&lt;/ref&gt; He is scheduled to replace David Letterman as the host of CBS's late night program.<br /> <br /> His first show, ''The Colbert Report'', gained credibility by featuring ''Conservapedia'' on December 8, 2009, including an interview of Andy Schlafly in his studio.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite episode<br /> | title = The Colbert Report (December 8, 2009 episode)<br /> | series = The Colbert Report<br /> | serieslink = The Colbert Report<br /> | airdate = 2009-12-08<br /> | url = http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/258144/december-08-2009/andy-schlafly}}&lt;/ref&gt; Apparently pleased with the popularity and quality of the segment, Colbert selected and featured the same episode as a subsequent rerun. The show had previously mentioned ''Conservapedia'' on prior occasions.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite episode<br /> | title = The Colbert Report (October 7, 2009 episode)<br /> | series = The Colbert Report<br /> | serieslink = The Colbert Report<br /> | airdate = 2009-10-07<br /> | url = http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/251994/october-07-2009/tip-wag---conservapedia--louvre---honda-unicycle}}&lt;/ref&gt; Some Colbert fans responded to the references to ''Conservapedia'' by attempting to vandalize the site.&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Stephen_Colbert&amp;diff=709438&amp;oldid=709432 Example of vandalism on the Stephen Colbert article]&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;[http://conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Genesis_1-8_%28Translated%29&amp;diff=prev&amp;oldid=709520 Example of vandalism on the Genesis 1-8 page of the Conservative Bible Project]&lt;/ref&gt; <br /> <br /> Colbert began his career at [[Comedy Central]] in the year 2000 on the show ''Strangers with Candy''. He later left in order to become a correspondent on ''[[The Daily Show|The Daily Show with Jon Stewart]]'', where he began to build what would later be the character he would play on ''The Colbert Report''. He was well-regarded on the show and occasionally guest-hosted for Stewart.<br /> <br /> Due to his work on ''The Daily Show'', he won three [[Emmy Awards]] and two [[Peabody Awards]] along with the other writers.&lt;ref&gt;http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0170306/awards IMDB List of Stephen Colbert Awards &lt;/ref&gt; &lt;ref&gt;http://128.192.29.189/news/pressrelease.asp?ID=151 List of 2007 Peabody Award Winners&lt;/ref&gt; <br /> <br /> On October 21, 2008, [[Patrick Henry College]] chancellor, [[Michael Farris]], presented Colbert with the honorary title of Arbiter of American Morality and Defender of the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|url=http://thecolbertreport.cc.com/videos/2f3tuj/michael-farris|title=The Colbert Report: Michael Farris|date=October 21, 2008|accessdate=January 8, 2015}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ''The Colbert Report'' ended on December 18, 2014 as Colbert will be replacing David Letterman as the host of the ''Late Show'' on CBS beginning September 8, 2015. Colbert will host the show as himself and the Colbert character will presumably be retired with the end of the ''Report''.<br /> <br /> ==''The Colbert Report''==<br /> <br /> '''''The Colbert Report''''' (pronounced Col-'''bear''' Re-'''pore''') was a late night satirical program hosted by liberal Christian Stephen Colbert on [[Comedy Central]]. The show was hosted by the character Stephen Colbert, a news anchor who makes many of his jokes [[parody]]ing [[conservative]]s and [[conservative values]]. It first aired on October 17, 2005 as an spinoff of ''[[The Daily Show]]''. Stone Phillips was the first guest.&lt;ref&gt;http://thecolbertreport.cc.com/full-episodes/jnv7om/october-17--2005---stone-phillips Retrieved December 24, 2014.&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Colbert played a character who shares his name. Colbert's character was a liberal stereotype of a conservative pundit, particularly a mockery of Fox News host [[Bill O'Reilly]] and ''[[The O'Reilly Factor]]''. Colbert has a guest every episode on the last segment, including authors, activists, and occasionally politicians and political personalities. He has said that his personality was based on O'Reilly, [[Anderson Cooper]], and [[Geraldo Rivera|Geraldo]].<br /> <br /> He failed to make a descent parody of a conservative because he was focused on mocking [[Fox News]], which is led by [[RINOs]]. Perhaps he knew that if he was to satirize true conservatism, he would have failed miserably because its ideas are rock-solid.<br /> <br /> Colbert's interviews were short and almost never serious, where Colbert's character often jokes around and never to the point, making often unrelated jokes and random obvious fallacies.<br /> <br /> Colbert was famous for coining words, most notably ''truthiness'', which states facts are meaningless and one should trust his gut, which was coined to mock conservatives by saying they are unintelligent or unlearned. <br /> <br /> Colbert has also used the show to condone vandalism on [[Wikipedia]] and [[Conservapedia]] on several occasions.<br /> <br /> A book, ''I Am America (And So Can You!)'' was written by Colbert and his writers in the persona of his character in which conservative values are mocked, and the book is extension of Colbert's character.<br /> <br /> A ''Better Know a District'' segment of ''The Report'' had Colbert interview a congressman on the show, and Colbert has had a disproportionate showing by party, having significantly more [[Democrat]]s than [[Republican]]s on the show. The interviews, which are pre-recorded, are later edited to cast the interviewee in a poor light. For example, a congressman's answer to a question might be made to appear as though in reply to a totally different question, making the answer, and by extension the congressman, appear ridiculous, immoral, biased or ignorant. Another technique used in these interviews is Colbert's asking of loaded questions, such as his famous &quot;George Bush- great president or ''the greatest'' president?&quot;<br /> <br /> ''The Colbert Report'' had a following which the Colbert character often used for his various pranks. For example, in every public vote for naming something, Colbert urges his fans to vote for him. He also leads frivolous wiki-vandalizing campaigns, having requested viewers vandalize Wikipedia several times and Conservapedia (see Relationship with Conservapedia section later in the article).<br /> <br /> In his recurring segment &quot;The Wørd&quot;, which is a parody of O'Reilly's &quot;Talking Points&quot;, Colbert coined the word [[truthiness]] on the show's pilot, which refers to the quality possessed by statements which, though factually false, are repeated by supporters who feel in their hearts that they ''ought'' to be true, and regard it as quibbling to object to their falsehood.<br /> <br /> Colbert has poked fun at [[Wikipedia]] and its apparent democratization of truth. He has coined the word &quot;Wikiality&quot; (as opposed to &quot;reality&quot;) and caused trouble for Wikipedia by suggesting that his listeners alter articles. In August of 2006, he encouraged users to state that the population of African [[elephants]] had tripled in the last decade. Colbert's point was that if enough people believe something, it becomes &quot;the truth&quot;. Wikipedia responded by reverting and locking down the pages to prevent further vandalism in response to Colbert's requests. <br /> <br /> Colbert had viewers write in his name to a public vote done by [[NASA]] to name a new room addition to the [[International Space Station]]. Colbert's cult-like followers won the contest for him with an astonishing 230,539 total votes, 40,000 more than NASA's choice of Serenity. To resolve the issue, NASA named a treadmill on the space station after Colbert instead of the room.<br /> <br /> In September of 2010, Colbert testified in character before Congress.<br /> <br /> Colbert &quot;ran&quot; for President in the South Carolina primary in 2008. In 2012, the South Carolina primary ballot had been finalized before [[Herman Cain]] dropped out of the race and before Colbert could announce his candidacy. So, Cain and Colbert agreed that Cain would be Colbert's surrogate, and they campaigned jointly in South Carolina delivering the message that a vote for Cain would be a vote for Colbert. On January 21, &quot;Cain/Colbert&quot; received over 6,000 votes, a fifth-place finish.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.npr.org/blogs/itsallpolitics/2012/01/21/145583425/herman-cain-gets-a-colbert-bump-in-south-carolina|title=Herman Cain Gets 'A Colbert Bump' In South Carolina|first=Padmananda|last= Rama|date=January 21, 2012|accessdate=January 8, 2015|work=NPR}}&lt;/ref&gt; <br /> <br /> Mr. Colbert founded the Colbert Super PAC, which was designed to make fun of the ''Citizens United'' ruling. The Super PAC's ads made fun of former Republican candidate [[Rick Perry]], and the negative ads about [[Mitt Romney]]. During Colbert's 2012 campaign, he was required to transfer control of his Super PAC, which he handed over to [[Jon Stewart]]. Ultimately, the Super PAC's unused funds were donated to charity.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|url=http://thecolbertreport.cc.com/videos/clpvpj/colbert-super-pac---the-ham-rove-memorial-fund|title=The Colbert Report|date=December 13, 2012|accessdate=January 8, 2015}}&lt;/ref&gt; The last episode aired on December 18, 2014.&lt;ref&gt;http://thecolbertreport.cc.com/full-episodes/q0f0hx/december-18--2014---grimmy Retrieved December 24, 2014.&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> *''[[The Daily Show]]''<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{Reflist}}<br /> <br /> {{DEFAULTSORT: Colbert, Stephen}} &lt;!-- please see [[Conservapedia:Manual_of_Style#Persons]] for information regarding this edit.--&gt;<br /> [[Category:Actors]]<br /> [[Category:Television Show Hosts]]<br /> [[Category:Comedians]]<br /> [[Category: Liberals]]<br /> {{liberalism}}<br /> [[Category:Talk Show Hosts]]<br /> [[Category : Hollywood Values]]</div>

He is considered to be the most liberal president in history.]]<br /> <br /> A '''liberal''' is someone who supports '''liberalism''', which is a [[politics|political philosophy]] on the left of the political spectrum. Liberals favor an increase in [[government]] spending, power, and control, as in [[ObamaCare]]. Most liberals also support the [[censorship]] and [[denial]] of [[Christianity]] because of its strong moral values&lt;ref&gt;http://www.worldviewweekend.com/worldview-times/article.php?articleid=2062&lt;/ref&gt;. Liberals who are a part of the [[secular left]] prefer the [[atheism|atheist religion]] over the Christian faith, as atheism has no objective morality to hinder their big government plans. This lack of an objective morality, or [[moral relativism]], was used as one of the main justifications for crimes against humanity by the [[Nazi Party|Nazis]] and the [[Communism|Communists]], both of whom were [[Similarities_between_Communism,_Nazism_and_liberalism|liberal]]. Increasingly, liberals side with the [[homosexual agenda]], including supporting [[same-sex marriage|homosexual &quot;marriage&quot;]]. Most&lt;ref&gt;http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/right-turn/wp/2014/05/23/reform-conservatives-tackle-the-failed-liberal-welfare-state/&lt;/ref&gt; liberals favor a [[welfare state]] where people receive endless entitlements without working. Liberals are often anti-[[Christian]], or otherwise disagree with moral or social principles held by many American Christians. The liberal ideology has worsened over the years and degenerated into economically unsound views and intolerant ideology. Most liberals simply support, in knee-jerk fashion, the opposite of [[conservative]] principles, while lacking an actual ideology or values of their own.<br /> <br /> Polling data has consistently shown that a increasingly large percentage of Americans identify as conservative, rather than as liberal, currently by 38% to 21%.&lt;ref&gt;http://pewresearch.org/pubs/1042/winds-of-political-change-havent--shifted-publics-ideology-balance&lt;/ref&gt; <br /> <br /> '''A liberal supports many of the following political positions and practices''':<br /> <br /> * Spending money on government programs (the significant economic problems in the [[Eurozone]] due to government debt will no doubt increasingly discredit this aspect of liberal ideology and make things more difficult for advocates of liberal economic ideologies)<br /> * Denial of science&lt;ref&gt;http://www.postlibertarian.com/2012/09/why-do-liberals-hate-science/&lt;/ref&gt; (especially [[creation science]])<br /> * Government's ability to solve economic problems&lt;ref&gt;http://www.studentnewsdaily.com/conservative-vs-liberal-beliefs&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * The belief that terrorism is not a huge threat, and that the main reason for Muslim extremists' hostility towards America is because of bad foreign policy &lt;ref&gt;http://www.studentnewsdaily.com/conservative-vs-liberal-beliefs&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Brainwashing voters with propaganda<br /> * Taxpayer-funded and/or legalized [[abortion]]<br /> * Censorship&lt;ref&gt;http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/06/07/watch-what-you-say-the-new-liberal-power-elite-won-t-tolerate-dissent.html&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Socialism&lt;ref&gt;http://famguardian.org/subjects/Politics/Articles/Liberals.htm&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Unsuccessful Keynesian economics as opposed to sound free market economics<br /> * Cessation of teacher-led [[prayer]] in classrooms and school/state-sponsored religious events.<br /> * [[Gun control]]<br /> * [[Elitism]]<br /> * [[Nazism]]<br /> * Pseudo-intellectualism&lt;ref&gt;http://eljam.blogspot.com/2005/09/i-hate-pseudo-intellectuals.html&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * [[Anti-Americanism]]<br /> * Affirmative action&lt;ref&gt;http://www.studentnewsdaily.com/conservative-vs-liberal-beliefs&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Opposition to government regulation or restriction of obscenity, pornography and violence in video games as a [[First Amendment]] right&lt;ref&gt;The [[Warren Court]], led by [[liberal]] Justices [[William O.

The General Welfare Clause mentions &quot;promoting the general welfare&quot;. This to a liberal means taxing the rich at increased rates and redistributing that money. The Commerce Clause, on the other hand, says that Congress has the power to regulate trade with foreign nations, between the states and with the Indian tribes. Since the days of FDR this Clause has been interpreted very loosely and has resulted in the federal government expanding its power. The latest example is The Affordable Care Act (ACA), better know as [[Obamacare]]. In the ACA, the liberals justify the individual mandate by saying it regulates commerce between the states. <br /> <br /> The decline in liberal principles can be illustrated by how [[Franklin Delano Roosevelt]] opposed and condemned public sector unions, stating that the idea of collective bargaining can't be transferred from the private to the public sector, as that would result in the government being unable to carry out its duties. Yet today, decades later, [[Democrats]] and liberals are in lock-step with public sector unions, as they &quot;donate&quot; money to the reelection campaign in exchange for more taxpayer money in their wallets and fluffed up pensions.<br /> <br /> Current dictionaries describe the liberal ideology by pretending that a liberal is &quot;a person who favors a political philosophy of progress and reform and the protection of civil liberties&quot; or &quot;a person who favors an economic theory of laissez-faire and self-regulating markets,&quot;&lt;ref&gt;http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=liberal&amp;sub=Search+WordNet&amp;o2=&amp;o0=1&amp;o7=&amp;o5=&amp;o1=1&amp;o6=&amp;o4=&amp;o3=&amp;h=00&lt;/ref&gt; or &quot;open-minded or tolerant, especially free of or not bound by traditional or conventional ideas, values, etc.&quot; or &quot;favorable to or in accord with concepts of maximum individual freedom possible, especially as guaranteed by law and secured by governmental protection of civil liberties.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/liberal&lt;/ref&gt; In practical usage, the term &quot;liberal&quot; is more closely synonymous with &quot;radical,&quot; &quot;immoral,&quot; &quot;anti-freedom,&quot; &quot;elitist,&quot; or &quot;bad.&quot;<br /> <br /> ==Liberals and Uncharitableness==<br /> [[Image:228130875 35181424e3.jpg|thumb|right|175px|[[United States|American]] Liberals have been observed to give less to charity than American conservatives.&lt;ref&gt;http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2008/03/conservatives_more_liberal_giv.html&lt;/ref&gt; In addition, [[per capita]] [[atheism|atheists]] and [[agnosticism|agnostics]] in the United States [[Atheism and charity|give significantly less to charity than theists even when church giving is not counted for theists]].[http://www.barna.org/barna-update/article/12-faithspirituality/102-atheists-and-agnostics-take-aim-at-christians][http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3647/is_200310/ai_n9340592/][http://abcnews.go.com/2020/Story?id=2682730&amp;page=2] ]]<br /> ''For more information please see'': [[Liberals and uncharitableness]] and [[Atheism and charity]]<br /> <br /> In March of 2008, [[George Will]] wrote at [[RealClearPolitics]] concerning the [[United States]]:<br /> {{cquote|Sixteen months ago, [[Arthur C.

Thus, just as in the US, &quot;liberal&quot; may occasionally be used as a term of abuse. But when someone is called &quot;liberal&quot; in Europe, it has an entirely different meaning than in the US.

In the postwar period, liberals supported government intervention in the economy and welfare state policies, as well as peaceful coexistence with the communist block, which are not liberal policies in the sense of classical liberalism. After the end of the cold war, with the demise of socialism and communism, many liberals embraced some ideas from economic neo-liberalism, and coined it the &quot;Third Way&quot;. In the area of national security and foreign policy liberals in the [[U.S.]] failed to define a consistent stance, even after the events of 9/11 and the beginning of the war in Iraq. Liberals generally support affirmative action, gay marriage, and abortion.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;Political liberals tend, for whatever reason, to be ardent supporters of both gay rights and pro-choice programs.&quot; Greenberg and Bailey [http://ai.eecs.umich.edu/people/conway/TS/Bailey/Greenberg-Bailey/Homosexual%20Eugenics.pdf] &lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Original meaning: Classical Liberalism==<br /> Liberalism is a political philosophy with freedom as its core value. The term was originally applied to supporters of individual liberties and equal rights, but, in America, the term has come to represent a movement of social change that often conflicts with [[conservative]] values such as moral values and traditions derived from Northern European Protestantism.<br /> <br /> See [[Classical Liberal|Classical Liberalism]].

Most liberals simply support, in knee-jerk fashion, the opposite of [[conservative]] principles, while lacking an actual ideology or values of their own.<br /> <br /> Polling data has consistently shown that a increasingly large percentage of Americans identify as conservative, rather than as liberal, currently by 38% to 21%.&lt;ref&gt;http://pewresearch.org/pubs/1042/winds-of-political-change-havent--shifted-publics-ideology-balance&lt;/ref&gt; <br /> <br /> '''A liberal supports many of the following political positions and practices''':<br /> <br /> * Spending money on government programs (the significant economic problems in the [[Eurozone]] due to government debt will no doubt increasingly discredit this aspect of liberal ideology and make things more difficult for advocates of liberal economic ideologies)<br /> * Denial of science&lt;ref&gt;http://www.postlibertarian.com/2012/09/why-do-liberals-hate-science/&lt;/ref&gt; (especially [[creation science]])<br /> * Government's ability to solve economic problems&lt;ref&gt;http://www.studentnewsdaily.com/conservative-vs-liberal-beliefs&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * The belief that terrorism is not a huge threat, and that the main reason for Muslim extremists' hostility towards America is because of bad foreign policy &lt;ref&gt;http://www.studentnewsdaily.com/conservative-vs-liberal-beliefs&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Brainwashing voters with propaganda<br /> * Taxpayer-funded and/or legalized [[abortion]]<br /> * Censorship&lt;ref&gt;http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/06/07/watch-what-you-say-the-new-liberal-power-elite-won-t-tolerate-dissent.html&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Socialism&lt;ref&gt;http://famguardian.org/subjects/Politics/Articles/Liberals.htm&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Unsuccessful Keynesian economics as opposed to sound free market economics<br /> * Cessation of teacher-led [[prayer]] in classrooms and school/state-sponsored religious events.<br /> * [[Gun control]]<br /> * [[Elitism]]<br /> * [[Fascism]]<br /> * Pseudo-intellectualism&lt;ref&gt;http://eljam.blogspot.com/2005/09/i-hate-pseudo-intellectuals.html&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * [[Anti-Americanism]]<br /> * Affirmative action&lt;ref&gt;http://www.studentnewsdaily.com/conservative-vs-liberal-beliefs&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Opposition to government regulation or restriction of obscenity, pornography and violence in video games as a [[First Amendment]] right&lt;ref&gt;The [[Warren Court]], led by [[liberal]] Justices [[William O.

The General Welfare Clause mentions &quot;promoting the general welfare&quot;. This to a liberal means taxing the rich at increased rates and redistributing that money. The Commerce Clause, on the other hand, says that Congress has the power to regulate trade with foreign nations, between the states and with the Indian tribes. Since the days of FDR this Clause has been interpreted very loosely and has resulted in the federal government expanding its power. The latest example is The Affordable Care Act (ACA), better know as [[Obamacare]]. In the ACA, the liberals justify the individual mandate by saying it regulates commerce between the states. <br /> <br /> The decline in liberal principles can be illustrated by how [[Franklin Delano Roosevelt]] opposed and condemned public sector unions, stating that the idea of collective bargaining can't be transferred from the private to the public sector, as that would result in the government being unable to carry out its duties. Yet today, decades later, [[Democrats]] and liberals are in lock-step with public sector unions, as they &quot;donate&quot; money to the reelection campaign in exchange for more taxpayer money in their wallets and fluffed up pensions.<br /> <br /> Current dictionaries describe the liberal ideology by pretending that a liberal is &quot;a person who favors a political philosophy of progress and reform and the protection of civil liberties&quot; or &quot;a person who favors an economic theory of laissez-faire and self-regulating markets,&quot;&lt;ref&gt;http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=liberal&amp;sub=Search+WordNet&amp;o2=&amp;o0=1&amp;o7=&amp;o5=&amp;o1=1&amp;o6=&amp;o4=&amp;o3=&amp;h=00&lt;/ref&gt; or &quot;open-minded or tolerant, especially free of or not bound by traditional or conventional ideas, values, etc.&quot; or &quot;favorable to or in accord with concepts of maximum individual freedom possible, especially as guaranteed by law and secured by governmental protection of civil liberties.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/liberal&lt;/ref&gt; In practical usage, the term &quot;liberal&quot; is more closely synonymous with &quot;radical,&quot; &quot;immoral,&quot; &quot;anti-freedom,&quot; &quot;elitist,&quot; or &quot;bad.&quot;<br /> <br /> ==Liberals and Uncharitableness==<br /> [[Image:228130875 35181424e3.jpg|thumb|right|175px|[[United States|American]] Liberals have been observed to give less to charity than American conservatives.&lt;ref&gt;http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2008/03/conservatives_more_liberal_giv.html&lt;/ref&gt; In addition, [[per capita]] [[atheism|atheists]] and [[agnosticism|agnostics]] in the United States [[Atheism and charity|give significantly less to charity than theists even when church giving is not counted for theists]].[http://www.barna.org/barna-update/article/12-faithspirituality/102-atheists-and-agnostics-take-aim-at-christians][http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3647/is_200310/ai_n9340592/][http://abcnews.go.com/2020/Story?id=2682730&amp;page=2] ]]<br /> ''For more information please see'': [[Liberals and uncharitableness]] and [[Atheism and charity]]<br /> <br /> In March of 2008, [[George Will]] wrote at [[RealClearPolitics]] concerning the [[United States]]:<br /> {{cquote|Sixteen months ago, [[Arthur C.

It also involves trying to find and support, even trying to help create, networks of radical students in law school and of radical professors around the country — students and teachers who see themselves as wanting to go a lot further than most people want to go. &lt;ref&gt; [http://66.218.69.11/search/cache?ei=UTF-8&amp;p=liberal+teachers&amp;fr=yfp-t-501&amp;fp_ip=MX&amp;u=duncankennedy.net/documents/Liberal%2520Values%2520in%2520Legal%2520Education.pdf&amp;w=liberal+liberals+teachers+teacher&amp;d=BNZFhPReRjC1&amp;icp=1&amp;.intl=us Liberal Values in Legal Education] Duncan Kennedy (professor at Harvard Law School)&lt;/ref&gt;}}<br /> <br /> ===Liberal Rankings of Congress Members===<br /> <br /> The National Journal compiles the votes of each congress member each year and uses the information to create rankings&lt;ref&gt;http://nationaljournal.com/voteratings/index.htm&lt;/ref&gt; of how liberal each member of the United States [[Congress]] is.

In recent decades, white secularism has surged, but Latino and Asian religious immigration has taken up the slack, keeping secularism at bay. Across denominations, the fertility advantage of religious fundamentalists of all colours is significant and growing. After 2020, their demographic weight will to tip the balance in the [[Culture War|culture wars]] towards the conservative side, ramping up pressure on hot-button issues such as abortion. By the end of the century, three quarters of America may be pro-life. Their activism will leap over the borders of the 'Redeemer Nation' to evangelize the world. Already, the rise of the World Congress of Families has launched a global religious right, its arms stretching across the bloody lines of the War on Terror to embrace the entire Abrahamic family.&lt;ref&gt;[http://questionevolution.blogspot.com/2012/05/why-are-years-2012-and-2020-key-years.html Why are 2012 and 2020 key years for Christian creationists and pro-lifers?]&lt;/ref&gt;}}<br /> <br /> ==Liberalism in Europe today==<br /> <br /> In Europe, on the other hand, parties that call themselves ''liberal'' are moderate in outlook, ranging from centre-left to centre-right, promote typically economic and business freedom. The Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe&lt;ref&gt;http://www.alde.eu&lt;/ref&gt; is a party of the European Parliament that represents most ''liberal'' parties from European countries. Similar policies are promoted by many ''liberal'' parties throughout the world,&lt;ref&gt;http://www.liberal-international.org/&lt;/ref&gt; such as the Liberal Party of Australia.&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.liberal.org.au/]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Trade unions and socialist parties often criticize politicians for promoting lower taxes on business, or more flexible hiring and firing laws, by calling them &quot;liberals&quot; or [[neoliberal|neoliberals]]. Thus, just as in the US, &quot;liberal&quot; may occasionally be used as a term of abuse. But when someone is called &quot;liberal&quot; in Europe, it has an entirely different meaning than in the US. In fact, the US meaning of liberal is more similar to the politics of European [[socialist]] or [[social democracy|social democratic]] parties.&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.pes.org]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Historical Liberalism ==<br /> In history, the word &quot;liberal&quot; has meant different things at different times, and was associated with individual liberty in prior centuries. In the postwar period, liberals supported government intervention in the economy and welfare state policies, as well as peaceful coexistence with the communist block, which are not liberal policies in the sense of classical liberalism. After the end of the cold war, with the demise of socialism and communism, many liberals embraced some ideas from economic neo-liberalism, and coined it the &quot;Third Way&quot;. In the area of national security and foreign policy liberals in the [[U.S.]] failed to define a consistent stance, even after the events of 9/11 and the beginning of the war in Iraq. Liberals generally support affirmative action, gay marriage, and abortion.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;Political liberals tend, for whatever reason, to be ardent supporters of both gay rights and pro-choice programs.&quot; Greenberg and Bailey [http://ai.eecs.umich.edu/people/conway/TS/Bailey/Greenberg-Bailey/Homosexual%20Eugenics.pdf] &lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Original meaning: Classical Liberalism==<br /> Liberalism is a political philosophy with freedom as its core value. The term was originally applied to supporters of individual liberties and equal rights, but, in America, the term has come to represent a movement of social change that often conflicts with [[conservative]] values such as moral values and traditions derived from Northern European Protestantism.<br /> <br /> See [[Classical Liberal|Classical Liberalism]].

Hypocrisy is the only sin that really inflames them. Inasmuch as liberals have no morals, they can sit back and criticize other people for failing to meet the standards that liberals simply renounce. It's an intriguing strategy. By openly admitting to being philanderers, draft dodgers, liars, weasels and cowards, liberals avoid ever being hypocrites.&quot; -Ann Coulter<br /> <br /> &quot;If you can somehow force a liberal into a point-counterpoint argument, his retorts will bear no relation to what you've said -- unless you were in fact talking about your looks, your age, your weight, your personal obsessions, or whether you are a fascist.

It also criticizes Hollywood values.<br /> *''Only the Good Die Young'' (Billy Joel)-a boy tries to convince a Catholic girl to have sex with him rather than practice [[abstinence]].

Condemns both racism, and terrorism, and also claims the idea of joining gangs and doing drugs is wrong.
