Why Republicans hold the strange belief that Obama is a liberal

FUCK THE POLICE

Because when you're on Neptune, New York and Los Angeles don't look that far apart. Modern conservatism is just an extremely radical and paranoid ideology without comparison in American history.
 
Remember when liberman was running as VP?

They went arround saying he was a huge left wing liberal.
 
I think it might be that he says things like, "I want a single payer health care system, but we'll have to work in increments."

It may be that Obama is actual a liberal, and liberals want to deny it because they know that Americans largely reject liberalism in Federal policy.
 
The concept of separating church and state is often credited to the writings of English philosopher John Locke.[3] According to his principle of the social contract, Locke argued that the government lacked authority in the realm of individual conscience, as this was something rational people could not cede to the government for it or others to control. For Locke, this created a natural right in the liberty of conscience, which he argued must therefore remain protected from any government authority. These views on religious tolerance and the importance of individual conscience, along with his social contract, became particularly influential in the American colonies and the drafting of the United States Constitution.[24] Indeed such was Locke's influence, Thomas Jefferson stated: "Bacon, Locke and Newton..I consider them as the three greatest men that have ever lived, without any exception, and as having laid the foundation of those superstructures which have been raised in the physical and moral sciences"[25][26]

The concept was implicit in the flight of Roger Williams from religious oppression in Massachusetts to found what became Rhode Island on the principle of state neutrality in matters of faith.

Well you think you're on earth and we all know you're from a different planet.

Perception is 99% reality. You're so far into your own delusional world NASA is coming up with a new mission to send a shuttle crew to dismantle your brain. They're calling it: Operation Emptied Head.

Locke was a believer in Natural Rights and influenced many of the Founders. Where did he say these Natural Rights came from? :)
