What differentiates the three? I’ve often been labeled as a liberal because of my political views. Although, I consider myself to be fairly moderate. What views and beliefs must one have in order to be labeled as Democrat, liberal, or the far left?

First off, let me just say I am neither party-affiliated nor a left/right wing nut. I have observed that the liberal philosophy seems to be the process of extending rights and protections to people (and animals) on the basis of morality. It is immoral to discriminate against race or sexuality. It is also immoral, some say, to eat meat. There are also protections in place for the environment at large. There are laws protecting the air and the soil. Most of this work has been done by liberals, and I applaud this.

Why is it considered backward or unscientific to wish to protect the rights of the unborn?

I understand there is some controversy over where life begins and ends, that's not the point. But since there are already laws on the books protecting a child in the third trimester, it is not strictly a privacy issue.

On the surface it would seem to be a "liberal" issue, but it is not. Why are the unborn seen as less worthy of protection than our dirt?

Baghdad is just a small part of Iraq? We spend 12 billion a month to secure a small section of the country just imagine how much it would cost to secure the entire country.

the color "yellow-green" is actually a green color with a yellow dash to it.

also, the color "green-yellow" is yellow with a green dash to it.

therefore the first word is just describing the type of color indicated in the second word.

now think about this. "mexican-american" is just an american with a dash of mexican [culture, heritage] in him/her. "mexican" is just describing the type of american that the person is

i hear people say that it should be "american-mexican." but wouldn't that just be a mexican with an american touch to him/her?

therefore, wouldn't being a "mexican-american" designate you as more of an american than the latter designation?

just a thought

(also, for those that say it should be just american, that's cool too, i'm just addressing this issue that's been on my mind)

When we moved in, we were promised 24 hour security, and other things. On 2 occasions my brother got his headlights stolen, and the apartment office would not do anything about it. They also deny any claim to promising security and they gave my parents a cock and bull story about them having security already being in place when we moved in. They put up a security gate that doesn't work, people ram it, theres holes in the gates around the complex that people sneak in and out of as well. Would I have a good reason to sue or what types of legal action can we take?

Democrats are well positioned to expand their majority in Congress next year, according to a survey of battleground districts released Tuesday.

“The electoral situation could not be better, particularly in the battleground districts where 2008 looks like a repeat of 2006,” read a memo from Democracy Corps, a think tank founded by James Carville and pollster Stan Greenberg.

The survey, conducted by Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research, polled 1,600 people in 70 districts. It found that Democrats are ahead by an average of 9 points in these battleground districts.

If Democrats wants to capitalize on the current political climate, however, they must continue to fight the administration on Iraq but also not lose sight of domestic issues, according to the memo.

http://thehill.com/campaign-2008/democratic-memo-predicts-additional-2008-gains-2007-06-19.html

What do you think of this memo? Will the Democrats indeed see another gain as they did in 2006?

Why do Americans fear the idea of Socialism so much is it because of all those stupid Cold War propaganda films calling the Soviets "commies" and saying they were evil besides the fact that Socialism and Communism are way different the Soviet Union and all the E. European bloc countries never even came close to what one may call a true communist state if you want a country that is closer to that look at Cuba they have free health care for all and free education all the way up to college the reason their economy is pretty much in ruins is because of the embargo the U.S. setup and if you want prime examples of Socialism look at all the Scandinavian countries they have some of the best economies in the world lowest crime rates extremely educated students and very low corruption levels so I just don't understand why Americans seem to have this phobia if you will of all communists and socialists

Does that list above typify the GOP and their Push for Family values? Why is it that groups that spend so much time telling others how to live and be moral are themselves corrupt, sex offenders, or cheat on their wives?

And don't forget
Newt,
Susan Ralston
Conrad Burns
John Doolittle
Bill Thomas
Dennis Hastert

And i can go on and on. And yes, William Jefferson is a corrupt democrat. But that about it. you cons sure dislike the rest of them, but none of them have cheated on their wives, went ot hookers, or been convicted of crimes in the last 10 years now have they? Is this the NEW gop family values?
