Letters: Liberal double standard

Published: Saturday, Jan. 5 2013 12:00 a.m. MST

When liberals win an election, they like to say it's the voice of the people. The public voted for legalization of marijuana in Colorado and Washington, same-sex marriage in Maryland and other states.

But when they lose, it's often declared unconstitutional, illegal or racist, as seen with the riots and violence with the right-to-work legislation in Michigan, Proposition 8 in California and the irresponsible action in the Wisconsin Legislature and recall action. When conservatives try to protect traditional marriage and the family unit, we are called homophobic and other insults.

As one who has fought for and has given back to his country, I cry for future generations.

Funny thing is that the naughty patriots were indeed LIBERALS. In those days, the conservatives were called Tories.

Sometimes history is downright inconvenient, isn't it?
