Liberals by any other name
Why does it bother Liberals to be called Liberals? "Progressive" is such a ridiculous, self-pontification notion.

Re: Liberals by any other name
What, you want to play semantics? How about this... I've never met a single person who didn't object to being called a Liberal. Conversely, I'm not sure I've ever met a person who was upset about being called a Conservative.kalm wrote:Give us your definition of a liberal and we'll find out.

Why don't libertarians like being called conservative? After all libertarian is such a ridiculous, self-pontification notion.

And although dawg feels no shame, there are lots of things for which he SHOULD feel shame.

Bush did not cause the twin Towers to collapse, dawg. It's amazing that we survived the event and following eight years as well as we did.

All the way from escorting bin Laden's relatives (Bush's business associates, btw) out of the US after the attack, to WMD, to Dead or Alive, to letting Osama get away at Tora Bora, to the looting of Baghdad, to the cover-up of Pat Tillman's death, to "going to war with the army you have", to insufficient body and vehicle armor............and on and on, ad nauseum.........yeah, buddy, you're right, it is amazing we survived leadership that piss poor, but it's hard to imagine how it could have been much worse, virtually none of the possible fcvkups went unused.

Re: Liberals by any other name
Boy, the term "liberal" has really taken on a whole new meaning since the age of John Locke et al. And I don't mean the dude in LOST, either. What a difference a few centuries make.
