Came across a quote today that I find very fitting for our times:

"It was once said that the moral test of Government is how that Government treats those who are in the dawn of life (the children), those who are in the twilight of life (the elderly) and those who are in the shadows of life; the sick, the needy and the handicapped which is sometimes described as the "liberal mantra"
-Hubert H. Humphrey

AND THIS IS WHY I AM A LIBERAL!!!!
