Great to be a Liberal!

I think the Author bottom lined it very well in these two commments.

In this article, I have made no attempt to define liberalism. This is intentional. If liberalism is a spirit more than a philosophy, one has to ask, "How does one define the spirit of a concept?" To attempt to define the spirit of liberalism would be doing what conservatives do when they attempt to impose their beliefs on everyone. The spirit of liberalism recognizes that one is free to believe as one wishes, but stops short at attempting to impose that belief on others.



The spirit of liberalism feels good. It feels good to believe in the positive side of people; it feels good to see that life is holistic and more than overvaluing business or profits at the expense of human need. It feels good to keep one’s soul, one’s integrity, rather than selling out to mindless, platitude-quoting mannequins who spout a company, a religious, or a political line. It feels good to think for ourselves. It feels good to choose our own path rather than dogma. It feels good to have a healthy attitude and to see humor, joy and hope in our future. It feels good, albeit sad, to pity those misguided souls trapped in their negativity, hopelessness and anger. And it feels good to know that a human-valuing future will come in spite of the best efforts of reactionaries to stop it.


Great words.

LOL at including Anne Coulter.


But seriously, Republican chicks are no fun to date.
