I think it was Winston Churchill who said:
If you're 20 and not a liberal...You don't have a heart.
If you're 40 and not a conservative... you don't have a brain.

This is an ignorant question. Liberals are just people who hope to be progressive and wish for a change. If people think that things are great they way they are they are completely mistaken. Think of the millions of people without health care. Thousands of people die because they have an illness or complications that could have been treated if it was detected early...without insurance they are unable to detect problems early on. This is just one example of why "liberals" want a change. The world Liberal has been turned into a sort of curse word. If it wasn't for liberals we would have never fought for our indepence in the colonial days, and if it wasn't for liberals we would have never had the civil rights movement or the womans movement.

i think liberals are well intentioned but misguided. they want to help all of the people, all of the time. their social programs make it hard for people to become self sufficent. a person can make more money off of the system versus working for a living. that, i feel, reduces the character of a person. they become a dependant of the federal government making them a liability, not an asset to the american way of life. it is okay to help but as it was once said," give a man a fish and you feed him for the day, teach him to fish and you have fed him for a lifetime." maybe those folks on assistance should have to pay back a portion of the benifits they recieve after a certain amount of time. something to ponder.

Liberals in general want people to get along and be friendly with eachother. The arms and reconstruction industry wants wars so that they can pillage our taxpayer money (and the money of the countries we invade). Since liberals are opposed to war, they therefore threaten the bread and butter of the war machine. Who will win? Well, whoever controls the media. And as it is, the people who control the media are those with lots of money. There's no money like war money, and therefore, as hard as liberals try, they will never control the media. Also, liberals speak the truth often, and people do not like the truth. For example, nobody want to hear that Iraq is in a civil war because of us (true). Instead, they want to hear about things that make them happy. People like winning, so they frame the war in context of winning and losing. The upcoming war with Iran (ineveitable as long as we the american people don't impeach bush and ALL of his appointees) is being opposed by liberals, who recognize that according to the Nuclear nonproliferation treaty, Iran is completely right to have uranium enrichment (provided it doesn't make nukes). Also, according to the culear nonproliferation treaty, the US is REQUIRED to give up it's nuclear weapons? who is violating the treaty? we are of course. But that is truth, and nobody wants to hear it. Watch the slander that comes my way. Those who speak the truth are typically vilified (and murdered when they become powerful) because many people have built their fortunes on violence and lies. The truth is the enemy of violence and lies, thats why liberals and dubbed "wierd."

and just exactly what it is that you understand and liberals don't....
I really don't understand all the animosity directed toward liberals. That is typical sterotyping; not all people who identify themselves as liberals are the same! You (conservatives) have had it all your own way for six years (until the November elections, anyway) and you are still angry. Why do you suppose the country elected Democrats when they could have elected more Republicans?

No, Liberals are American's who have opened their eyes to the game of the Elite.
Corruption is legal as long as you have a group of idiots to believe the lies that make it all ok!
9/11 - Madrid - London - Gels
All crap - All lies - All a game to make you a fearful citizen so that the Corporate Elite can rule you with an green fist.

Nope...liberals are the ones who want us ALL to be able to live in regular society...regardless of sexual orientation or ability to pay for medical treatment. It would appear to me it is the conservatives who want to legislate people from living in a regular society.
