  1. I see Propaganda U is coming up with a fresh batch. 1. Segregation? Err.. that was conservatives down South-though we still see it in Northern metro areas where suburbs have been used to segregate people by race and class-hint it isn't liberals or leftists that oppose lower income housing in these areas. 2. Liberals do approve of free enterprise. However then you have to ask if this would be a European style liberal that wants the free market to run amok or a US style liberal that recognizes regulation has an important place-often saving capitalism from some of its worst elements. This form of regulated capitalism (capitalism where you can still drink the water and breath the air-little things like that) is sometimes accused of being Socialist by those who want government to do little or nothing (maybe they just don't want food you can eat, water you can drink or air you can breath but..) 3. Liberals can believe that immigrants help an nation and make it stronger. 4. Recognizing racism as real and having impact on the USA in many bad ways is called realistic. Recognizing to oppose is trying to improve your nation-not undermine it. 5. I got to call BS here. There are plenty of examples of conservatives trying to trample free speech. Some of which are quite recent. Some new ones come from Wisconsin where peaceful protesters that stood around singing songs (of all things) were arrested at the state capital building. And a Republican Assemblyman took down a man's permit attached sign. This Republican is now a candidate for State Senate in the seat being vacated by the Republican candidate for US Senate there. Also if you sign on to someone else's privately funded and run blog or service. That blog doesn't belong to you and you have no right to it-I'm pretty sure a lot of conservatives support the idea of private property. (I also wonder if some of those banned were found to be frauds in some way-but that is a side point.) Though if there concerns about people being treated unfairly or discussions being hindered conservatives could start supporting net neutrality. I'm pretty sure conservative complaints about censorship are more paranoia and hypocrisy (pushed to generate a sense of victimhood?) than fact. After all this video is still on youtube. Oh, and how many conservatives concerned about "free speech" on college campuses would like to force liberal professors to take down office, door, or desk signs about the environment, social justice, and on..? 6. FDR was accused of being Socialist by the Conservatives of his day. So thank you for using him as an example.
