I don't get it. When we give a decent definition of why we are liberals, conservatives here
refuse to accept it.

Being a liberal is about American values such as freedom, democracy, honoring the "law of the commons", helping those in need, supporting government programs that aid the public,caring for others less fortunate than ourselves, rejecting the "me-first" attitude of Libertarians and those that call themselves Conservatives, supporting social justice, ending racial discrimination (very abundant during Obama's campaign), respecting religious freedom without having religion forced upon us, being able to criticize our government when it is warranted, allowing freedom of speech and fighting against bigotry and oppression, opposing the undue exercise of power by corporate monopolies, supporting and maintaining a viable middle class with allowance for poorer people to do better by leveling the economic playing field (through jobs and training and education), insisting thateducation be available to all (Thomas Jefferson), making sure that voting is not vetted or that elections are not fraudulent, honoring the Constitution and not trashing it (like Bush)...

These are ideas that make me a liberal. What don't you so-called Conservatives
understand about this?
