Well, I could take each and every point apart but I doubt you guys would believe it. If liberals believed half the garbage written above, they would be pretty stupid and I honestly don't know any stupid liberals -- it usually takes some thought and effort to say no. And please quit confusing Democrats with liberals. Some liberals are Democrats. Most of us are independents and are as likely to vote for a Republican candidate as a Democrat.

JFK gave a good definition of a liberal Democrat: http://www.liberalparty.org/JFKLPAcceptance.html

The American Heritage Dictionary defines liberal as: "1a. Not limited to or by established, traditional, orthodox, or authoritarian attitudes, views, or dogmas; free from bigotry. b. Favoring proposals for reform, open to new ideas for progress, and tolerant of the ideas and behavior of others; broad-minded. c. Of, relating to, or characteristic of liberalism. d. Liberal Of, designating, or characteristic of a political party founded on or associated with principles of social and political liberalism, especially in Great Britain, Canada, and the United States."

To me, it is a willingness to listen to all sides, respect the rights of individuals, not be willing to have my mind made up by the prejudices of others but rather by what I can verify.

BTW -- I'll defend your right to protest outside of an abortion clinic even though I totally disagree with you and so on and so forth.

Aren't you guys glad we liberals aren't as willing to bash and insult you conservatives as you are we liberals?
