I am a Liberal and proud of it. I think its time we liberals stop supporting the democratic party and start a new liberal party, which has done nothing for us for years. \n\nI believe in God, and who can say God is not a Liberal? Start the discussion here and tell me what you think?

If you want a repuglican congress and president into the far future split the democrtatic party and that is what you would get. We must all stand together and fight the oppresion of the repuglican party. I am tired of their idea of supply side economics. It just helps the rich and leaves the poor and middle class behind.

First let me address Hidden\n1.  the asker asked you to refrain from mindless bashing\n2.  bush is far from the only republican representing the party so your comments are meaningless\n3.There are even Liberals in the party god helps gee couldn't have that\nSorry folks had to get that off my chest most Democrats and Republicans are sincere folks that just differ in there views and outlook and that is there god given right!I  As a conservative I admired very much former senator Welsltone from From MInn. I disagreed with most of his views but the guy was open and honest and voted his conscience not the party line or the latest poll. Gee an honest politician who votes his beliefs what a novelty. \n\nno for my party I am a Republican but have constitutional party sympathies. Why? well partly because the party is more friendly to conservatives generally the party philosophy generally supports a more limited Govt. role fiscal restraint and a more constructionist view of constitutional law. While I am not particularly religious or a member of the Christian Right I do have strong views on the role of religion as a moral compass for societies  the world over hence have a strong aversion to  secularism. While i will be the first to admit the current crop of Republican congressmen have strayed from the course greatly especially in regards to fiscal restraint. That does not change the  tenants of most in the party.. the one most influential  Republican to me in my lifetime is Ronald Regan, No not for the tax cuts or rebuilding the military or the fall of the soviet bloc although I supported all of these. But simply put the man had a way of making people believe in themselves and their country at a time that we were very low and most thought in decline. In return the people believed in him it was a truly amazing thing to live through. The outpouring at his funeral from America some 15 yrs later is some measure of his affect. So because of the hope someday that we can come up with another Regan I tend to remain loyal to the party Despite  attractions to the Libertarian and Constitutional parties. No I would never vote party line just for the sake of it but all things being equal I would tend to support a republican. As a conservative I also respect another's right to disagree  or hold a diverging  philosophy this world would be an all to dreary place if we had a hive mentality  with all the drones dancing to the queen bees beat. I certainly would not demean your intelligence by implying  that because you believe differently that you are stupid or wrong. I may try to sway your opinion using intelligent discourse using logic and facts you may not be aware of.  But, To accuse you of being wrong is hubris in the extreme and denies the most fundamental right of all humanity the right of choice.\n\nSo sir that is a little window into at least this mans soul?

Liberal scum??? Whiney Liberal??? Hmmmmmmmmmm, I'm guessing some of these fools will still be included as Dubya supporters when his approval rating hits 1% in 2008. My guess however is that, sadly, Dubya's worst times are ahead of him. There are big revelations about his presidency yet to be revealed. The Scooter Libey trial has only begun. And God knows Dubya will continue to consistantly screw up the world in the next few long years. But hey! What do we know. We're just liberal scum am I right?!   George Dubya, Still Fightin the Good Fight!

Hello,\n\nReading some of the comments below I can see our liberal government is doing the job they set out to do since the 1950's.\n\nFear is a wonderful motivator. \n\nAnd, the communistist who run our nation are and have always been Pro-Earth and Con-God (Creator of the Universe).\n\nIf you ever read even parts of the Communist Manifesto, you will learn how they are trained to program our children into not believing in God and "dumbing down the children in school". This is why liberals will soon, very soon, outlaw homeschooling. They will because the majority of homeschooled children are taught about God and why they are special in this world.\n\nSo, global warming is just another layer to be peeled from their onion of life.\n\nDoes this make sense to you?\n\nYou can read this article from AmericanDaily below:\n\nHope this helps you.............................................  :-(

As a liberal minister, I think God is a figurative term. When nature hurts us, we(the God) get mad . We (God) assume that we(God) are punishing ourselves because of our own perceived shortcomings.

Gee that's funny, I throw bombs at liberals for fun, and my email is always open.  The day I become afraid of liberals, I pray someone in my family will run me down with their car.\n    Sadly, only one had emailed me, and as it turned out it was nothing but an intelligent respectful argument.  \n   So friend, allow me now to insult your factless whiny accusation.  You do not inevitably see it. That is somewhere on the scale of wishful thinking to downright lie.  So put the picture of Speaker Pelosi away, pull your pants up, and stop crying.  There are better ways to celebrate your election day afterglow isn't there?

You are giving them way too much credit.  They act like titty babies and whine over everything.  I doubt that will change!!  The democrats support abortion (including partial birth abortion!!), illegal immigrations, no capital punishment, gun control, freedom of speech for only them, God OUT of schools and anywhere in public.  If anyone can think of anything else by all means, post it.  I see nothing good coming from the left wing nut job liberals like Nancy Pelosi.  I will be the first one to laugh when people start complaining.  I can look at them and say "I told you so".  Unfortunately, the God loving, anti-communist Americans will have to suffer for people's pure ignorance.

God dizzle, what are you on about?\n She has every right to say that, and shes true, if you've made up your mind to support bush then so be it. Im sick of us all being labeled 'Liberals', like its a dirty word. Im sorry, i seem to have missed the day when the idea of liberty became such a dirty word to the neo-con americans. \n To the poster, im sorry to hear about that, but some of us are just twats, basically. The left wing is full of 'FUCK BUSH'ers and frankly, its doing my sodding head in, Their are so many other issues we've got to grapple with, and i hated a liberal who doesnt know their facts. Im proud to be a Liberal, but im also proud to have actually studied my topics and know what im on about.\n I'd be glad to have a logical discussion with you :) Frankly, i dotn care if someones right-wing, if their courteous and rational im open to chat

I'm a lib and I'm not Godless. I pray privately and go to church on Sunday. If the founding fathers had wanted God in our government they would have put it in the Constitution. Read it or at least do a word search. Were the founding fathers godless? \nIt's the neocon Christianists who are destroying America and it's Constitution. We are stopping them by voting. Look at the results of the last election. America is turning its back on the divisive and inflammatory rhetoric of the lunatic right.

Thanks for your supportive statement, I get weary of hearing so many ppl say how this country was not found on Christianity, and that isn't why we have been so blessed.  It is such an honor to live here, we are afforded so many blessings on a daily basis that no other single country has!! \n\nMy prayer today is that we as a country can go back to our roots, to be united, to support our constitution and our leaders, those in authority over us.  That we will see the blessings as blessings, the fruit our forefathers produced by trying to lead us righteously, instead of always filling their own political agenda, the fruits are still plentiful!!\nI pray that there will be a huge revival, ppl turning their faces back to the Almighty, that they see and feel His Spirit, and know that He is God.  Yours in Jesus.

It's over and your side won. Tell me why do you feel the need to keep bashing conservatives? This is typical of you libs, you never shut up with your hate speech and bashing regardless of if you win OR lose.\n\nMaybe, being a basher makes you more popular with your friends or something.

OK, not a liberal, nor a democrat, but....\n\nI think you are asking why the emotional knee jerking of a range of people has hijacked a political party to, at least at one point, the verge of implosion..... \n\nA liberal, so far as I can see, is someone who, not to be rude, has let their emotions run wild and swayed their logic. hope that made sense. These are a people who are also likely to be swayed by the emotional string tugs of politicians, who happen to be in the democratic party. \n\nDon't misunderstand, I do not believe that the liberal minded people out there are evil or corrupt by nature, they simply believe in something so much that they will align themselves with people who tell them what they want to hear. I have very good friends that are liberal minded, and they are not evil, just find more 'truth' in something that others don't find truth in.... ie. class warfare, extreme environmentalism, and 'evil' corruption in big business. Most of these people tend to align into the green party more so in the democratic party, but there is a power base already in existence with in the democratic party, and they seem to gain their support there through some crafty politicians.\n\nI am more concerned with the crafty politicians that have taken control over the democratic party than I am with the people who support the democratic party. These individuals seem to like their positions and will do and say anything to keep them. Dare I say even the likes of Joe Leiberman started going down that road during his spin while running as the vice president candidate. And now that Mr. Leiberman dared reclaim his true self he was butchered by his own party. \n\nI think that is the best example of what is happening at the power levels in the democratic party, they seem to be so concerned with keeping and reclaiming power that they use the emotional ploys to attract voters. \n\nThis is just an opinion, but it explains to me why when people grow a little older they abandon their emotions for logic and start looking toward the libertarian and republican parties for a home.

I'm a liberal and I'm not a wiener! I'm a working American, so it's not in my best interests to vote Republican. Also, the religious fundamentalists have hijacked the Republican Party, and as far as I'm concerned, they have no f**king right to tell me or anyone else how to live. Also, I would like the effects of global warming to be reversed, and that's not going to happen when the Republicans are in power.

I spoke to my mom this morning and said well democrats won several electons,  they supported abortion and gay marriage in several areas.  ( she said no, democrats are the religoius people, and would not support such things)  how many of our older voters don't even know what they stand for today and think they are still the party of the average person like they were in the 50's

First off, I will tell you why the liberals are crushing the country into smoldering ashes of corruption.  I will also tell you who else is trying to destroy the country as well.\n\nTo begin with, my good and honorable friends, liberals are NOT good in their own sense.  Liberalism + America = CORRUPTION.  Why do I say that?  Okay, let's talk about the conservatives on the political level.  You say the conservatives are destroying America and the world.  You may think they're extremist religious nuts bent on imposing strict laws that say no to liberalism.  For one, they may be destroyng the country but they are also looking at the widening gap of seperation of nation from God.  For this, men and women, NO NATION can survive without God.  Explain to me why Africa is rife with turmoil and warfare?  Explain to me why the Belkan slave trade is alive and well?  Explain to me why other countries force their politics on citizens and restrict their rights?  Explain to me why the world is SO unstable right now?  Can you really do that?  This would, heck, take years and years of explaining.  Just a fiery speech washed down a filthy drain all because nobody cares to look at the reality.  Conservatives are trying to tell you to be mindful of God but are you?  The majority of Americans are offended by the conservatives more than the liberals.\n\nSecondly, why did I say Liberalism + America = CORRUPTION?  It's an excellent equation to speak of liberalism.  Look up the definition of liberalism.  Then get  back here and read what I will say.  Liberalism is based on the intellectual right to do whatever you want without arbitrary government.  That it is based on the goodness of the individual.  Hmm...  getting immoral every minute.  Why?  Okay, take an example.  Pornography is a problem in this country that chip away at America through sin.  All of the content visited by men, women, or young children are sexually oriented.  Now think of the equation I put here: Liberalism + America = CORRUPTION.  Now, if the conservatives or "religious nuts" as you call it, are bent on banning pornography, premarital sex, and advocating marriage before sex, think of liberalism as the other way around.  No man can be good without God in their lives.  No one can be a good individual, drink away alcohol, have sex with other women or men, or look at porn, and still be a good individual.  Now, with liberalism and pornography a bad equation, if it ever becomes that in reality, child pornography will become available to everyone, and every bad stuff that is banned will be readily available thanks to liberalism.  Think of the religious nuts having an agenda to oppose sensitive matters that relate to sex, crime, hate, homosexuality, etc. and liberalism the other way around.  Yes, liberalism would be BEING DESENSITIZED AND ACCEPTING THE BAD STUFF AS GOOD!\n\nThirdly, having said what would happen if liberalism had its field day, I will tell you who else is destroying this once glorious country FOUNDED under God.  Atheists, liberal activists, homosexual activists, polygamist activists, ecumenism, pornography, alcohol, guns, you name it!  Yes, I am making everyone mad by saying this but this is really true if you open your eyes to it.  Does it really make sense if you had two homosexual fathers, a teacher would explain to you that one of them is your father and the other is your mother?  What a bunch of crock.  They're two sickly men who think they love each other when they actually are blindsided into lust and worse perversion unto their eyes.  Are celebrities in love?  No.  They're in lust, in full red-hot forbidden passion that God abhorred. And after what I said, this is true.\n\nI'm telling you, men and women, LIBERALISM DOES NOT EQUATE GOOD.  LIBERALISM EQUATES GOOD/BAD STUFF ALL MIXED UP IN THE WORLD AND ACCEPTED AT FULL VALUE.  Don't believe me?  Heck, try your hand at politics and tell Bush to pass liberal laws about alcohol,

I disagree that a better idea would be to not show up, give a high estimate, or claim to be overbooked.  As odious as the landscaper's response was, at least they were honest.  Also this way both sides got a huge audience to hear their arguments.\n\nFrom what I know of my conservative Christian friends, Garden Guy might have been trying to "witness" to the couple in their own misguided way, thinking that if they enclosed a few Bible verses and told them why they wouldn't take their business, the couple would see the light, become Christians (assuming they aren't already Christians), and thank Garden Guy for showing them the way.\n\nWhy is discrimination a political issue?  I guess I'm naive, but is there a certain political party that is pro-discrimination? (And what is the euphemism the party uses as a substitute for that phrase, so they don't sound like prejudicial, judgmental people?)  If there is a political party that is generally supportive of this kind of behavior, why on earth are we tolerating that?  It saddens me that anyone wishing to join that political party because of views on economics, defense, etc., has to "sign on" to this other group of beliefs that seem to support discrimination and other unacceptable policies.\n\nThere should be no question or ambiguity that this action is overt discrimination.  I have faith that God will call people forward to change things in this country, and that one day, hopefully not too long from now, equal opportunity and equal treatment will be ensured via a Constitutional amendment.  \n\nAnd though it might be a harder, slower fight, I have faith that someday Christian churches will see their error and accept and love people who are gay.
