What do our opponents mean when they apply to us the label "Liberal?" If by "Liberal" they mean, as they want people to believe, someone who is soft in his policies abroad, who is against local government, and who is unconcerned with the taxpayer's dollar, then the record of this party and its members demonstrate that we are not that kind of "Liberal." But if by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people -- their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties -- someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a "Liberal," then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal."

actually you defined a conservative. Its just that conservatives do not believe the federal government can accomplish that through micro-tinkering the economy. That has been tried the world over and failed, Europe for starters, 12% unemployment, exponential run away inflation, 42% tax rate on middle class, etc.. liberalism is not a new forward way of thinking, it is an old warn out idea that is older than conservatism by far, and it does not work.

Liberals will be hear when conservatives are gone with the "Wigs". You can't expect humans to advance without being individuals
