Showing Original Post only (View all)Liberals! [View all]
God help ya, i love you!
I have been a liberal over the years, something you will never hear me apologize for.
Sure, i could jump on the boat and be a progressive, but I despise the baggage attached, and liberal will do for me.
I was a liberal when carter was elected, I was liberal when i voted for dukakis (even after that little tank picture).
While it is all the rage to claim to be "progressive", I will remain a liberal.
if your proud to be a liberal, let us know why! Anecdotes are encouraged!

Not to me! Progressives want change. Liberals want humanity. Both are compatible in society.

I am a liberal. Always have been, always will be. "Progressive" is a weak term to me.
