I get sickened with the generalizations on here..."all liberals" are this or that.....my problem is not with any ideology, but with the man who is President, thus my criticisms are of that person. Condemning groups of people is just horrible.
Secondly, PLEASE NOTE the definition of liberal in the link. It is not aimed at Democrats, progressives, or any of the such. Comments on this thread which is a great thread should keep this in mind.
""The word liberal in this context has nothing to do with today's partisan language, but refers instead to the Latin root, pertaining to liberty. And at the heart of liberty in the Western world has been freedom of speech. From the beginning, people understood that this meant protecting and listening to speech with which you disagreed," Zakaria argued.
That means, he said, not drowning out "the ideas that we find offensive."
To come on this forum and dismiss millions of fellow Americans is, to me the epitome of being totally UN American

Just seeing this post now and realizing you must have listened to at least some of his speech. Thank you so much for clarifying all of this for me (OP). I should have definitely given it a different title as it comes across very combative and it is not. It is the title that CNN gave the article and like most all the news networks today, the title is sensationalized to say the least. It is a good message for ALL. It's not meant to be a swipe against liberals and definitely not against liberal thinking. Thanks again!
