Should Americans expect liberals to have more of a spine? Or is where they are at OK in the current situation?

Question

"Society has good reason to fear the Radical. Every shaking advance of mankind toward equality and justice has come from the Radical. He hits, he hurts, he is dangerous. Conservative interests know that while Liberals are most adept at breaking their own necks with their tongues, Radicals are most adept at breaking the necks of Conservatives."

-- Saul Alinsky

Hey dude, suck a ******* fart out of my butt.

Answer 1

From my experience the majoraty of people don't really have a spine. They cower, and put the money they make, or made, or might make or lose ahead of everything else. I don't think it has anything to do with where they are on the political line.

Answer 2

To be Liberal is to have a want of " mediate duplicity "; a dough faced do nothing attitude and that by tradition is a sort of "I'm okay , your okay" indifference that tries to please all and usually pleases none! As for spine the real problen there is that the Left of America has been abandoned Blackballed and repressed for more than two decades. Hence there no longer is an American Left, and so, no real checks and balances!

Answer 3

Liberalism is an ideology, philosophy, and political tradition that holds liberty as the primary political value.[1] Broadly speaking, liberalism seeks a society characterized by freedom of thought for individuals, limitations on power, especially of government and religion, the rule of law, the free exchange of ideas, a market economy that supports relatively free private enterprise, and a transparent system of government in which the rights of minorities are guaranteed. In modern society, liberals favour a liberal democracy with open and fair elections, where all citizens have equal rights by law and an equal opportunity to succeed[2]. Liberalism rejected many foundational assumptions which dominated most earlier theories of government, such as the Divine Right of Kings, hereditary status, and established religion. Fundamental human rights that all liberals support include the right to life, liberty, and property. In many countries, "modern" liberalism differs from classical liberalism by asserting that government provision of some minimal level of material well-being takes priority over freedom from taxation. Liberalism has its roots in the Western Enlightenment, but the term now encompasses a diversity of political thought, with adherents spanning a large part of the political spectrum, from left to right. In the context of economics, the term "liberalism" refers to economic liberalism, which is associated with the political ideology of liberalism itself.
