Liberal Democrats can dish it out, but can’t take it.

Case in point: Gov. Schwarzenegger’s use of the mocking term “girlie men” to describe Democrat lawmakers in California who champion “far out” legislation.

Never mind that the term was successfully used multiple times on “Saturday Night Live” skits, to mock sub-standard performances, Democrat politicians demand an apology from the governor. Dream on.

Given the Democrat support for two “off the wall” bills in California, it’s a wonder stronger criticism didn’t occur. Under the circumstances, the governor’s use of “girlie men” was a euphemism.

First, the Democrats’ legislation sought to prohibit schools from contracting services from private companies and, next, tried to authorize workers to sue employers to enforce labor laws. Pure, unadulterated socialism!

Liberalism is so rampant amongst Democrats, they will pull out all the stops to advance their socialistic agenda; even to demand a governor apologize for “calling them names.”

If they get their way, Democrats would rid us of the time honored adage: “Sticks and stone may break my bones, but names will never hurt me!”

How dangerous is liberalism? It not only can rid you of your backbone, but also your sense of humor.
