Let me respond now

You asked for it.

Liberals believe in taking care of people, not just talking about it.
We believe that government is good, and can be used for the good of all mankind.

Americans, without government are the most charitable people on this earth.

We believe that it is wrong for some to have more than they can spend while others cannot survive, many times through no fault of their own.

Americans, without government are the most charitable people on this earth. We have taken care of these people in the past without government. Is it wrong for a person to earn as much as they are willing to work for? You'd you deny a worker the right to work overtime?


We believe in the goodness of mankind, that people will work and prosper for themselves, and their community, without the threat of competition for goods. We Agree.

We believe that all people are created equal,as conservatives claim they believe, and that THEREFORE they should be treated equally, irregardless of of their abilities and their willingness to trample on their fellow man to get to the top of the heap. You did well. How many did you trample?

We believe in social justice because there is no other kind that matters.
Define social justice as you mean it?
We believe that not all people will be charitable and do the right, humane thing, and therefore government, by and through the people, has the responsibility to do it when individuals don't. Must all people be charitable? Not all people are honest. The part of the people who are charitable are the most giving in the world. Why mess with it?
We believe Everyone at some time in their life does or may need the help of government and therefore must be willing to assist government in the welfare of all people all the time. We pay near half our income in taxes, isn't that enough?
We believe that Jesus was a liberal for all of the above reasons. Have you actually read the bible and followed it's teachings?

How's that you selfish Bush lovers?
That seemed stupid.
Signed,
A former liberal now a proud retired tea partier with money in the bank, and ready to collect my social security. Life is good.[/QUOTE]
This part of your post is very confusing. Are you not a liberal?
