I know liberals that refuse to even allow their kids to watch GI Joe cartoons because they believe it is propaganda from the Reagan administration geared at getting soldiers to kill innocent victims. Apparently the message of "stay and fight until the job is done" and "GI Joe never gives up" and "GI Joe defends freedom" means little to these people. Are all liberals extreme pacifists, or is there something they will fight for? It seems like they are so courageous when it comes to burning an American flag and mocking my country, yet are surprisingly morally weak and cowardly when it comes to defending freedom and fighting for what is right and just in the world. I guess to a liberal it takes more guts to burn an American flag in Manhattan where you could face a $50 fine for protesting without a permit than actually standing up to Islamic fascists and enemies of democracy. Thank you liberals, for showing me everyday what type of people you really are.

Oh, yes - they're willing to fight for their "rights", most definitely! Not YOUR rights, mind you, but they'll certainly fight for THEIR "rights".

Where to begin...
I watched GI Joe as a child and up until I didn't see them on television, after I was older. I didn't find the message of GI Joe to be "stay and fight until the job is done" or "GI Joe never gives up", per se. That really wasn't what was taught, so much...
"Are all liberals extreme pacifists, or is there something they will fight for?"
No, they're not all "extreme pacifists" and there are things they will fight for. Does that justify the US being in Iraq? No.
Is it just liberals that are burning flags and mocking "your country"? Also, do you mean liberals from other countries or do you mean the country of all of you, liberals and conservatives and everybody in between?
Is it morally weak and cowardly to not want to remain occupying a country where your presence is definitely not that welcome? Should liberals have the courage to occupy countries that do not have democratic governments in order to put a democratic government in place?
Who are conservatives fighting for what is right against, currently? The citizens of Iraq who want them out of their country? Why did the US invade Iraq? Is China ready to be invaded for being a communist country? Is the US ready to not trade with China, ala Cuba? Where is the bravery and where are the lines being drawn?

Yes there are MANY things I will fight for--- first of all, I'll fight for the RIGHT to be liberal IF I WANT TO BE.... second, I will fight for the rights of ANYONE who lives LEGALLY in this country who is being put upon by another group or person. Third, I will fight for the right to my own religion and the right of YOU TO HAVE YOURS.... fourth, I will fight for the RIGHT to stay free as long as I am fighting someone who either attacked ME or my country----I will NOT go after a group of people simply because they have more oil then I do or someone SAYS they have weapons when no weapons are found..(like the WMD's that BUSH claimed Iraq had)....and I would fight for the right of our soldiers---I don't LIKE the war in Iraq, I don't believe we should BE there, but I would fight to keep every single American and Allied soldier alive.... Now Mr. Conservative..... once again you are generalizing an entire GROUP because of one or two EXTREMISTS!!! All Liberals are NOT created equal---just as all Conservatives are not.... You people will NEVER learn to stop bunching EVERYONE into that barrel with that one bad apple WILL YOU??????

I am liberal and there are things I will fight for.Like your freedom to judge all liberals by your neighbors. So wrong of you but you have that right. Were you there in the sixty's fighting for the rights of minorities?The liberals were. Was that cowardly? We will fight for equal rights of all. By the way, I have never burned a flag in my life nor would I. I also have very strong morals. I was also a military wife. Where you military and fight for my country? We were lucky to be born here and I will fight everyday for my freedom of speech and yours.

I already answered this question the last time it was asked, a day or so ago...
I fight for unrestricted, universal access to contraception for all citizens, all ages.
I fight for unrestricted freedom of the press and cinema. You don't like it, don't watch it or read it.
You are nothing but a weak-tit, wanna-be political troll with no fist in your glove.
You wanna report this, knock yourself out, but you got nothing.
nothing.

It does take more guts to face the problems of our own nation than to ignore them for some scuffle halfway around the world. The war in Iraq could easily be characterized as the US just beating up on a weaker nation. You all scream and yell that he had WMDs but hey, prove it. Oh yeah, you can't. It's a heck of a lot more courageous to fight without a weapon. Furthermore, should there be a battle against racism, fascism, intolerance and greed you'd find me on the side of decency, intelligence, tolerance and compassion. We'd kick your fascist ^%$es too!

Liberals fight for free speech, pro-choice, universal health care, civil rights, women's rights, conservation, public assistance and for the overall bettering of our great country.

I'd like to tell you what a liberal is willing to fight for, but you did such a good job that you left me speechless. I truly couldn't say it better. I sure hope you keep your thinking and your values. We DESPERATELY need people like you in this country in the future, or we won't have a country as good as this in the future (aka: there won't be any future for us). Seriously, think of running for public office one day. I know you might think I'm joking, but I'm not. I had the chance and didn't take it. Run for a local office, however big or small, and get in, and then keep in that political role. We NEED people with your kind of thinking in public office. Don't ever think I'm joking on that. And maybe, one day, when you're in office, and someone asks you how you got your start, remember me and tell them that a self doubting college graduate political scientist made me get started to make up for his failure to do so. The best of wishes to you, and, truly, God Bless you.

the area to ... I watched GI Joe as slightly one and up different than i did no longer see them on television, after i replaced into older. i did no longer in looking the message of GI Joe to be "stay and combat different than the job is carried out" or "GI Joe under no circumstances provides up", in line with se. That fairly wasn't what used to benefit, plenty... "Are all liberals severe pacifists, or is there in spite of they are going to conflict for?" No, they're now no longer all "extreme pacifists" and there are issues they are going to conflict for. Does that justify u.s. of u.s. being in Iraq? No. Is it in simple terms liberals that are burning flags and mocking "your u . s . a ."? additionally, do you propose liberals from different worldwide places or do you propose the country of all of you, liberals and conservatives and each individual in between? Is it morally vulnerable and cowardly to now no longer prefer to proceed to be occupying a rustic the place your presence is unquestionably now no longer that welcome? could liberals have the braveness to occupy worldwide places that don't have democratic governments with the intention to place a democratic government in place? who're conservatives struggling with for what's proper in opposition to, at the instant? The electorate of Iraq who prefer them out of their u . s . a .? Why did the U. S. invade Iraq? Is China able to be invaded for being a communist u . s . a .? Is u.s. of u.s. powerfuble to now no longer commerce with China, ala Cuba? the area is the bravery and the place are the strains being drawn?

You are making a sweeping generalization. Not all people who call themselves a liberal are liberal about all those things you list, as not all conservatives are religious fanatics who wrap their bigotry and intolerance in the flag and the bible.
