If being a 'libtard' means I want to stop kids from getting shot at school, that I think everyone should be able to marry the person they love, whether that person is a man or a woman, if it means I put science over religion, and equality over division, then I am a Rabid LIBTARD

1. It ocured to me recently that Rs using that word is an insult to people with disbilities

We don't use the word retard anymore. It is offensive and mean and we just don't do it. But low class people will so I guess that is why they continue to use a version of it as an attempt at a "put down" toward liberals. Liberals would never use any version of a word like that. We just have more class.


That being said I like what he said.

14. I'm not willing to abuse my friends with disabilities to piss off right wingers

Using a made-up word that end in "tard" as an insult hurts people against whom "retard" has been used as a weapon.

Flip it to liberal, and the sentiment is a good one.

to criticize Trump. See https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/dotard

I never saw the term you used, Trumptard.

3. John F. Kennedy

“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.”

9. So True. Time NOW to start wearing Liberal and/or Progressive as a badge of honor.

Really contrast our brand with the broken disgraced Republicon-Trump brand.

USA is fundamentally at its core and solid bedrock base a progressive liberal nation and would be revealed as such if you remove the dirty tricks, gerrymandering and voter suppression that the RepubliCons DEPEND on to get POWER.

8. Heard an interesting anecdote about the word "libtard" recently...

Apparently it was first used by Republicans to describe libertarians. But if this is what a "libtard" actually is, count me in as one of them, though I would never use such ableist terminology myself.
