You may be right, but you are certainly wrong, overall. I think you are blind to the fact that 'liberal' is exactly where this country needs to go. Your blindness in this area is why you fail to understand most things political and are, in general, out to lunch of so many issues. Liberal philosophy is dependent of certain capacities and sensitivities of a psychological perceptive nature that are dependent of what I might refer to as a people sense. It is this people sense that Republicans lack. They don't really like looking at themselves introspectively and that is where one learns who others are.

Yes Moon, you are so right, this country needs to go liberal.
Which is why so many Democrats run around talking about how liberal they are, while the Republicans refuse to use the word conservative in public anymore. :roll:

BTW: Can someone tell me the last time someone running for the Presidency declared themselves to be 'liberal'?? Maybe Carter did, but I was only 7 at the time.

That's because the righties have done an absolutely brilliant job sliming the term "liberal". But I think a lot of Americans are more liberal than they think, their just needs to be a politician that puts it in the right terms. "Liberal" may be a four letter word in American politics today, but the ideas behind it certainly aren't, and if there were just some Democrats with spines we might see just how a liberal does fighting the Ann Coulter definition of the term.

Conservatives are a dirty word in Canada because of Bush...even though the Conservative Party of Canada is very reasonable and have a lot of great policies to offer Canadians.

Exactly. I actually like the Canadian conservatives, and lumping them in with Bush conservatives in the US is really unfair. But that's the point, the ability to manipulate language is a very useful talent in politics.

There is no clear definition of a "liberal." That is why it wouldn't make sense for someone to call themselves one.
