The initiation of Liberalism came from the Enlightenment period, which produced the modern concept of Human Rights, as per the Bill of Rights. There are few Liberals in NYC. It is with matter of fact certainty I can state, you, koan, tejek, bent and a few other left wingers here are not liberals. If there are a few liberals in NYC, I'd love to hang out with them.

Your President, The Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces, Has Two Important Things He'd Like to Share With You The White House ? @WhiteHouse Follow “Peggy and Joan…I’m always rooting for them.” —Obama on how the issues these Mad Men characters face remind him of his grandmother #EqualPay GeorgeStephanopoulos ? @GStephanopoulos Follow POTUS tells me that World Cup schedule affecting some foreign policy moves. http://abcn.ws/1jRwdRx I assume he was kidding about that last point. If not, then this is impeachable. But let's assume he was "kidding" -- actually pandering to the White Aspirational Urban Progressives that make up his base. All this *sshole does is: 1, Fail, and 2, troll the Twitter #TrendingTopics lists to see what TV shows he should mention in order to pander to his frivolous, TV-crazed base. In turn, his idiot progressive zealots -- who fancy themselves intellectual -- shower him with love. Just. For Watching. The Same TV shows. That They Do. Astonishing. Our first True Intellectual President. He's Maureen Dowd with a flouncier jump-shot. ........ aceofspades

Slate writer plumbs the depths of liberal stupidity. Says not to let the doctor look between your newborn's legs and declare it's a boy or it's a girl. Leave that up to the baby to determine themselves later. Doctors are just agents of the brutal patriarchal power structure out to suppress the transgendered: Don’t Let the Doctor Do This to Your Newborn By Christin Scarlett Milloy...... When the doctor holds your child up to the harsh light of the delivery room, looks between its legs, and declares his opinion: It's a boy or a girl, based on nothing more than a cursory assessment of your offspring's genitals. ......... With infant gender assignment, in a single moment your baby's life is instantly and brutally reduced from such infinite potentials down to one concrete set of expectations and stereotypes, and any behavioral deviation from that will be severely punished—both intentionally through bigotry, and unintentionally through ignorance. That doctor (and the power structure behind him) plays a pivotal role in imposing those limits on helpless infants, without their consent, and without your informed consent as a parent. This issue deserves serious consideration by every parent, because no matter what gender identity your child ultimately adopts, infant gender assignment has effects that will last through their whole life. .......... Infant gender assignment is a wilful decision, and as a maturing society we need to judge whether it might be a wrong action. Why must we force this on kids at birth? What is achieved, besides reinforcing tradition? What could be the harm in letting a child wait to declare for themself who they are, once they're old enough (which is generally believed to happen around age 2 or 3)? ........ Infant gender assignment might just be Russian roulette with your baby's life. http://www.slate.com/blogs/outward/2014/06/26/infant_gender_assignment_unnecessary_and_potentially_harmful.html ht aceofspades
