Maybe you aren't aware of this but the left took this wonderful word "Liberal" and poured a whole new meaning into it. True the founders proudly labeled themselves Liberals. They have nothing in common with today's liberals. The benefits of liberalism is that the beliefs of our founding fathers are upheld.

Were civil liberties protected when FBI files were rifled through for months, and the IRS was used as a weapon?

"The benefits of a Democratic agenda is that it tends to help more people make more money" What an absolutely idiotic suggestion. I just saw the head of the dem party (Terry McCaulif)sp? say that tax breaks to corps does not creat jobs, but giving money to people who DO NOT pay taxes does. The reason I think most dems (politician) are liars is that there is no way a sane person can show that a poor person buying groceries CREATES jobs. You can buy votes that way though. Use your brain instead of your emotions when you make such pronouncements. The dem party thinks they know how to spend others money more wisely than the people who made it. They also have an open contempt for these people. Arrogance at its best. And look what it has gotten us. You should be ashamed of your city. As Giuliani said yesterday (and I have said many times), letting people live on the streets is not compassion. In SF they not only do that, but they let them SHOOT HEROIN in other's people cars without ARRESTING THEM. ANd steal, and panhandle, etc. It is basically legal to do hard drugs on the city streets with NO PROTECTION for honest people who would like to enjoy the place. "The benefits of liberalism is that the beliefs of our founding fathers are upheld" What a CROCK. Our founding fathers wanted to create a government that would PROTECT US so we could enjoy "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness". Not to tax one group and give it to another. Kenneth has just shown where the real dem position is. Get it from the other guy. I gaurantee that is not what our forefathers wanted.

Let me guess... you're a teacher or professor. NOW I understand! OF COURSE you'd be a liberal. The last thing you want is that the poor slobs that have to pay for the public bat should take the liquor away!

One of her students shows up at 7:00am because her mother always has a "date" at that time of the morning........she is probably a prostitute!! Again, many factors other than politics have influenced the state. Amazing! Did your teacher friend thoroughly investigate this student's home conditions or did she "surmise' the Mother 'had a date'? And if the Mother actually had a 'date' why in the hell is she passing personal information on to you???? Since she has, and if you have not made up this story, she should be fired. And even more revolting is your conclusion "she is probably a prostitute'. Shame! How judgmental without factual investigation. Ken

Well, said Patricia, unfortunately it mostly fell of deaf ears. The folks here are not interested in facts, only perpetuating the folly that anything other right wing Republican trickle down thinking is bad and the cause of all problems in the world.

>>Our State legislature is now Democratic but it recently changed from a Republican majority Wrong. The legislature has not been GOP since forever. For one short period under Wilson the GOP had a slim majority in just one of the bodies. >>Also, the protection of civil liberties is a key part of the Democratic agenda which is critical to our country's Constitution LOL. Waco and Elian proved otherwise. Clinton's secret police and the FBI file scandal were illustrative of their attitude from start to finish. I believe Nat Hentoff - no conservative - has said Clinton-Reno were the worst of any two in that department since FDR. >>DOn't you remember Ronald Reagan was a two term Gov? We elect all kinds of animals here..LOL Like NYC, the people of CA elect GOP governors to restore things after Dems screw everything up.
