I don't know but I was surprised to hear the shrub use that.

It's funny how conservatives try to use Liberal as a dirty word.

Has there been any instances of "Only a Conservative....."

Is this just a conservative thing?

I wonder sometimes as my cracker relatives like to use "Liberal Fags" :rolleyes:

And they wonder why I don't stay in contact. It's kind of sad though as my kid will never meet family members.....

If "liberal" is a dirty word, it's because some so-called "liberals" have made it one. :(

What the hell? You're a liberal? I always thought you were a moderate. :confused:

Actually, his relatives are probably far right enough to consider moderate as liberal.

Right. It has nothing to do with conservative ideologues trying to create a false impression of what the word means. :rolleyes:

Liberals have some crazy ideas just like Conservatives have crazy ideas which is why they are on the far right and left. Issues like abortion and school prayer are messy.

I don't. As much as I disagree with liberalism, it does have its strengths, and the overwhelming majority of liberals are great people.

Good people can be found everywhere ... just as bad people can be found almost everywhere.

Most people are essentially good; they do what they feel is best.
Few people can truly overcome their consciences and we generally call them lawyers.

I simply get tired of hearing bothe "liberals" and "conservatives" hyperbole. I really don't think the sky is falling in either direction as the these politicians try to say. Conervatives won't take all our rights away (except for guns) and Liberals won't cause us all to die in terrorist nuclear fire and whatever else they're accused of.
