[SoCalDem]

Moving stuff in my website & ran across this one .. A timely reminder of who we are never hurts:)

[stop the bleeding]

[sabra]

2. that's why I never take offense when being called a liberal. :-)

[Nimrod2005]

3. Ditto, I love to say I am a liberal, becasue I am...

[electropop]

6. In my youth, it was an insult to call somebody "conservative"

and a compliment to call them "liberal." Liberals made this country great in every way that matters: voting rights, labor fairness, Social Security, and on and on....

[FreedomAngel82]

22. Exactly

I'm always proud to call myself a liberal. So many great men have lead this country who were liberals! Also, another great one to see is the video of Jimmy Smitts on the "West Wing" defending the word "liberal." I wanted to cry. :cry: To see someone standing up for us! Now days when anyone speaks ill of us liberals I remind them of what all we've done compared to conservatives.

[kpete]

5. Heard on Ed Schultz Yesterday:

"The more informed you are, the more liberal you will be"

[tk2kewl]

7. Who is Roget any way? Some french guy? What does he know?

:sarcasm:

[IronLionZion]

16. If he is intelligent enough to write a thesaurus

then he's obviously some kind of LIBERAL!!!

:P

[Virginian]

20. Roget? Oh him, he makes champagne too. N/T

[BOSSHOG]

8. Amongst all the stuff I have crammed in my wallet are two cards

- One proclaims me a member of the ACLU
- The other says I'm a Military retiree

God I love showing them.

[IronLionZion]

9. Oh, you are such a LIBERAL!!!!

:P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P

[TomPainesBones]

10. Are these old definitions?

I seem to remember reading these in the past but the online Roget's New Millennium Thesaurus doesn't list Conservative as any of those things now except "Reactionary."

Unless I'm missing something "Stingy, Miserly, Regressive, Narrow-Minded, Bigoted, Prejudiced, Biased" is nowhere to be found...

[SoCalDem]

15. The banner (minus the Roget's inference)

I found this online, and apparently the person who created it, did not exactly quote Roget's..

I think they used definitions of antonyms..

anyhoo.. here's one without the attribtion, in case someone wants to use it ...

[BL611]

17. Hate to be a downer, but

Liberalism (especially in the American sense) is anti hyperbole and dogma, pro empiricism, and nuance. Hence the OP post in not particularly liberal.

[DaveColorado]

18. That pic is somewhat selective. Here is roget's online:
