Can we take back this word, "Liberal?" Our founders left us a LIBERAL AND PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRACY. Everything great about America has been because of Liberals, regardless of party!

LIBERAL is good! SECULAR DEMOCRACY is GOOD -- it's a gift we were given that a lot of idiots want to take away.

Haven't the Bush years shown that "Conservative" is a code word for "stupid?" I can't think of one great thing America has accomplished that was due to Conservatives.

5. Liberal? Conservative?
Family Word Finder.


Consider these synonyms for the term "conservative":


Right-wing, reactionary, intolerant, bigoted, narrow, biased, prejudiced, provincial, limited, strict, unbending, fixed, inflexible, rigid and literal.


The source for these synonyms is Reader's Digest.

The same source gives a synonym list for "liberal" as follows:

left-wing, progressive, freethinking, advanced, fair-minded, open-minded, broad-minded, tolerant, forbearing, magnanimous, unbigoted, unprejudiced, unbiased, impartial, enlightened, humanitarian and open to reason.

7. I think Republican is a dirtier word than conservative.
The word Republican means Bush and vice versa.

15. Lauren Bacall: BEING LIBERAL IS THE BEST THING ON EARTH YOU CAN BE
She's a smart lady -- she said on Larry King, being Liberal is the BEST THING ON EARTH YOU CAN BE. Can we have a candidate like that please?

BACALL: I'm a total -- and I was a kid and I'm total, total, total liberal and proud of it. And I think it's outrageous to say the l word. I mean, excuse me. They should be damn lucky that they were liberals here. Liberals gave more to the population of the United States than any other group.

KING: Well, Social Security.

BACALL: Everything.

17. Liberal = Corporate Responsibility and Personal Freedom, and
Conservative - Corporate Freedom and Personal Responsibility. It's really that simple.

So the next time someone asks you why you are a liberal, tell them!
