If your young and a liberal you're a radical.

If your middle aged and a liberal your idealist.

If your old and liberal, you're a fool.



It's a quote, but I can't remember the author currently.

A Liberal is someone who doesn't have the "Cojones" to tkae action. Someone who points the finger at everything else. A person who lieks to break laws. A person who wants to send our grandkids grandkids into debt. Someone who hates our military and everything they stand for.

That is a Liberal.

LOL thats like saying Republicans are judgemental and prejudice, money hungry and rich; and Democrats only care to see the right thing done, are selfish people and strict enviromentalists.

LOL!!! the generalizations people make just screams ignorance.
So you all go around, asking what party people belong to, put them in their neat little box and stroll away happily justified??
No one is a human first?laugh rofl

I try not to judge based on whether someone is liberal or conservative. I know that not all liberals are the same, just as not all conservatives are the same. Though, some people here seem to not see that.

I dont know if I am liberal or conservative. I dont care for labels and probably dont fit in either box squarely.

I care about others and the community, so I guess that makes me liberal

BUT

I also believe in personal responsibility, so I guess that makes me conservative


maybe I am libervative, or conserveral...??? whatever

It is actually the opposite.

I was more conservative until bad stuff happened to me.

a little sensitive tonight? I was always taught don't dish it out if ya can't take it back.flowerforyou It started as a joke but the way right outers..will leave it as that.

What REALLY is needed to be done is everyone gets on the same page and gets something done..all this squabbling about the 'parties' (starting to sound a little communistic?) need to forget all the hocus-pocus on their differences and get cracking on DOING THEIR JOB.
It's more like- "I don't care what he has to say he's a ______ and I don't like ________". Either your part of the problem or part of the solution, and guess what, we getting in deeper with all the problems with very little solutions. What goes on in this forum is like what senate and congress do, argue more on whose right and why instead of whats right and why.

Get rid of the damn parties and friggen do something to save this country because the line between just having only 2 classes is getting pretty dam big.
I buy hot dogs for the dogs. For months .99...all of a sudden a 45 cent increase. Get with the program people. Wake up, ya'll been hoodwinked into squabbling over the parties and not the issues. Oh yea you agree/disagree but no one here ever discusses solutions just the blame game. Thats the big plan, divert us so we don't notice, don't get appalled, worry so much about paying the bills that we haven't the energy to kick all their ***** right out of their seats, give them something to worry about (THEIR jobs). We absolutely have to let the People have say so. Now, don't ask me how :wink: . It's just disgusting what this country is becoming by it's (ahem) diversity, instead of strength.
Liberal enough for ya?
