Why are you liberals, liberal . . .

[groundpounder]

...Just because you (not referring to you GP) are powerful, gives you no right to take advantage of the situation....

HEY! I'm powerful! C'mon! :mad

I've labeled no one. I'm just observing that most of the people who want religion in the middle of government tend to be religious conservatives with a very fixed view of how the world should be. Is this because they want to promote choice and tolerance, or to lock the government into a certain way of thinking? If you believe in a secular government, for example, the Ten Commandments no matter how much sense you think they represent have no place on the Court House lawn.

Now you can tell me how wrong I am.

ok ... you're wrong

lol

What do our opponents mean when they apply to us the label "Liberal?" If by "Liberal" they mean, as they want people to believe, someone who is soft in his policies abroad, who is against local government, and who is unconcerned with the taxpayer's dollar, then the record of this party and its members demonstrate that we are not that kind of "Liberal." But if by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people -- their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties -- someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a "Liberal," then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal."- John F. Kennedy 1960.
