IF SO, HOW DID YOU KNOW? I'VE KNOWN MANY LIBERALS, BUT HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO TELL THEIR POLITICS BY JUST LOOKING AT THEM.
AS A FORMER REPUBLICAN, AND NOW A CARD-CARRYING LIBERAL, I'VE MET AND BEFRIENDED MANY GROUPS OF PEOPLE, FROM MODERATES TO FAR LEFT LIBERALS LIKE MYSELF, BUT HAVE NEVER REALLY CARED ABOUT ANYONE ELSE'S POLITICS UNTIL VERY RECENTLY - WELL, UNTIL GWB BECAME KING.
ALL THE LIBERALS I HAVE MET HAVE BEEN KIND, WARM, LOVING, FUNNY, WELL-EDUCATED, NOT RICH (THERE HAVE BEEN THREE OR FOUR RICH ONES, BUT MOSTLY, THEY SHARE THEIR MONEY WITH THE POOR FAR TOO MUCH TO BECOME REALLY WEALTHY), AND THEY ARE WELL-TRAVELED AND ARE OPEN-MINDED.
I FOUND THAT LIBERALS ARE MY IDEA OF THE IDEAL PERSON, IN ALMOST EVERY EXPERIENCE.
HATE-MONGERS ARE NOT MY CUPPA TEA. I DISLIKE PEOPLE WHO PEDDLE HATE, WHO DISLIKE ME JUST BECAUSE I'M NOT ASHAMED TO BE A DEMOCRAT, PROGRESSIVE, LIBERAL, WOMAN, AND OVER 30.
IF YOU CAN'T BE CIVIL WITH YOUR ANSWERS, ANSWER ANYWAY. THAT TELLS A LOT.
