All this fifty years before you were born. Gasp! Liberals are truly horrible people. Like I thought, he's from a different time. Let's get out the dictionary again: liberal, adj. 1. generous. 2. plentiful; abundant. 3. broad-minded. ---n. person favorable to progress and reforms. Let's see, I believe it was the Republican Congress, which, after four vetoes from Clinton, finally got welfare reform pushed through. "Conservatives" feel that the current abortion laws are inhuman, and would like very much to reform these laws. Conservatives would like to reform the way the Social Security Trust Fund books are cooked each year, with staggering sums "ledgered away" into the general fund, so that the pigs back in Wash DC can claim that we have a budget surplus, when in fact all they're doing is robbing Peter to pay Paul. Sure the fed govt as a whole is running a slight positive cash flow for the first time in over 20 years, but all it's doing is encouraging the feds to cook the books some more and now Clinton is touting more spending programs. I mean, to hell with the future, let our kids deal with a bankrupt Social Security. My friend, I hate to be the one to break the news to you, but the Republicans are actually the liberals these days, under the dictionary definition. Then Dems are carrying the conservative banner now: Conservative, adj. 1. inclined to keep things as they are. 2. cautious. ---n. a conservative person.
