Herc, I really believe most of you on this thread (especially you Herc) need to get out a dictionary and understand the definitions of the terms you are throwing around.

A liberal need not be a Democrat, need not be a Communist, need not be pro big government, need not be fiscally irresponsible, and need not be a dumping ground for all of your pent up frustrations at those people who may be Democrats, Communists, pro big government, and fiscally irresponsible, etc.

I took the time to look up liberalism in the dictionary and I can't think of a better description for for the type of person I would like all of our children to grow up to become.

So here it is in the proper format (from Webster's):

To be a liberal, you have to believe in..."a political philosophy based on belief in progress, the essential goodness of man, and the autonomy of the individual and standing for the protection of political and civil liberties."

Doesn't that sound great? I wish we were all liberals.
