I need a quote that best sums up the liberal ideology?

Question

This is the best one I've found so far, do you have any better ones?
"I cannot feel good about being a woman unless you feel bad about being a man. I cannot be proud of being black unless you are ashamed of being white. I cannot respect myself for being gay unless you are embarrassed that you are straight. Tolerance has been put by the boards; it is a stale and bitter thing and we will have none of it. Equality, likewise; is condescending at best and in truth intended to demean. If I am to achieve the inner harmony and self-respect that is my due, it will not suffice for you and I to be equals. No! Nothing less than superiority will make me happy. And to ensure that I make my point, I shall commend your libraries to the flames, rewrite your histories, purge your dictionaries, and arm the thought police with power to enforce political correctness in all speech and apprehension." Joseph R. Garber

Answer 1

"Everyone has a right to an opinion, as long as it the same as mine. If I disagree with you, I'll just call you a nazi."









just watch all the thumbs down

Answer 2

Of the two, the conservative, i think, because of the fact it is composed of much less government intervention. i could rather want the Libertarian suitable, of direction. All social welfare courses could be privately run: classic non secular charities (customary with the aid of conservatives), and regardless of much less classic NGOs the bleeding heart left could pony up thier own money for interior the absence of a socialist government.

Answer 3

A tad off subject I guess but this is the scariest quote by a liberal that I could find, but it does depict their ideology........ "We are going to take things from you for the benifit of the majority" Hillary Clinton

Answer 4

This may not be what you are looking for, but I like it:

"Somebody came along and said 'liberal' means 'soft on crime, soft on drugs, soft on defense and we're gonna tax you back to the Stone Age because people shouldn't have to go to work if they don't want to. And instead of saying, 'Well, excuse me, you right-wing, reactionary, xenophobic, homophobic, anti-education, anti-choice, pro-gun, Leave it to Beaver trip back to the '50s...we cowered in the corner and said, 'Please don't hurt me.'"

-- The West Wing

Answer 5

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."

---JFK---

Answer 6

If you are "truly" interested, then the information below shoud help. On ther other hand if you are trying to set up Conservatives for one line stero type lies, then I just wasted my time.

Freedom...

...of conscience

You have the right to think as you wish.

...of religion

You have the right to worship as you please. The government has no business either supporting or opposing religion in general or any specific religion.

...of speech

You have the right to express your views, whatever they may be. Only in the free marketplace of ideas can truth emerge.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Civil rights
All people are equal under the law. Any type of discrimination based on race, ethnicity, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or gender is not only inconsistent with a free and civil society, but is immoral as well.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Universal public education
Equality of opportunity requires all Americans to have access to a basic education consistent with maintaining informed citizenship and the ability to participate fully in society.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tolerance of Differences
Because we are all unique beings, with different skills, needs, and wants, we must respect the life choices of others as long as their life choices do not infringe on the rights enjoyed by other citizens.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Social Safety Net
Recognizing that circumstances beyond mortal control play a part in all our lives, a basic social safety net shall be avaliable to all who need it, not as a permanent lifestyle, but rather as a helping hand to get back on one's feet.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Employees' Rights
We spend most of our lives working. Work is the foundation of our economy and a major part of the glue holding together communities. The employee is an equal business partner with the employer, and as such, has the right to collectively bargain for terms of employment.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Environmental Protection
Contrary to some people's opinions, it is possible to both protect the environment and sustain economic growth. We support taking all reasonable and responsible steps to protect the environment and the species contained therein.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strong Families
The family is the primary social unit in America. It must be respected, and encouraged in all its forms. Government should make policy with this in mind.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Responsibility
With rights come responsibilities. Exercising our rights means taking responsibility for our actions, and their effects on others.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Free Enterprise
The capitalist economic system is the most efficient solution to providing for peoples' wants and needs. Government's role is that of a regulator, not a controller of industry, and any regulation must only be for the good of society as a whole, and not for the benefit of any one entity.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rule of Law
Law is the framework in which society operates. There can be no society without justice. Justice means that those who commit crimes must be made to answer for them, and that the criminal code is fair and wisely constructed. When criminal actions go unpunished, respect for the law weakens. The law applies to all, including all agents of the government.
