Thread Name: BS: Obit: The Republican Party
Subject: RE: BS: Obit: The Republican Party
All I seem to hear these days is the misuse of the word liberal.
To me a true Liberal would be fair to all, oppress none. He would act in a spirit of generosity, and tolerance, allowing others to hold their own ideals, while trying to ensure that EVERY individual had the opportunity to enjoy the freedoms and privileges guaranteed by your constitution.
There are many such among both republicans and democrats, and it seems to me that they should be capable of mounting an attack on the corporate pawns that are currently in charge of US politics. A revolution does not need to be accomplished with bloody violence.
Maybe then the word liberal would cease to be a derogatory epithet.
