Funny, I was raised in a liberal household and was a child of the sixties. I consider myself to be about as liberal as one can be. That being said, I have never taken a dime from the government that I wasn't entitled to; I raised my daughter to be moral, ethical and to think for herself; I have worked hard most of my life; paid my taxes and bills. I've marched in a few protests -- Civil Rights and equal rights. According to folks here, I am at best naive and more than likely a freeloading fool and a total idiot. If I or my liberal friends were to say half the things about TV conservatives that you seem to think is perfectly acceptable here, we'd be sued for libel and slander and rightfully so.

I don't like Ann Coulter. Never have, never will. She's a mean-spirited hack to my way of thinking. I wouldn't waste my time protesting what she says or writes. There are more important issues in this world today.

I certainly don't agree with everything Obama has done or even tried to do but there have been some real accomplishments. I'm not thrilled with the latest Iran agreement and my gut feeling is that it will ultimately be changed. At least I hope it will.

I'm not a Hillary fan. As a matter of fact, I can safely I don't like anyone on either side. This election is looking to be a royal disaster.

I do believe in the Black Lives Matter campaign. Some police practices do need to change. People should be. Treated equally. Until they are, police are going to be viewed with distrust and young men are going to needlessly die.

ISIS scares me. Muslims do not. I flinch when I hear anyone spew hatred whether a Fundamentalist, a Neo Nazi, an Islamic extremist and even some of the posters here.

But why all the stereotyping of liberals? Why the constant name calling? Does it really help get your point across? Why insult someone just because they have differing views? Do you really think it makes you or your cause sound better or morally right? I don't get it.
