"WHY I’M A LIBERAL"

You choose to be a liberal because wanting to appear compassionate and likeable is easier than defending moral absolutes and taking a stand.

Wish I'd found this place during the Dark Ages (Clintoons). What is special about Jan 22, 2003? Other than I was 49 years and 7 days old?

It tells me poor people eat junk and don't exercise.

LOL. You are so right. One could get fat on $2.00 a day dining at the local 7-11.

For God’s sake don’t give them any ideas! Before you know it we’ll be footing the bill for them at Ballys.

I do not write articles about how great I am for helping those little people who cannot help themselves.

Dang. If we imposed that rule, the the Democrats would be out of talking points. Of course, their idea of charity is to steal money from one little guy and give some of it it to some other little guy. There is always overhead involved. ;~))

Or eating all that ready made crap from the supermarket--hot pockets, cheese filled combos, doritos, cheetos, steakums, etc.

You are a liberal because you like double-standards.

Democrats have a blast blaming President Bush for terrorism, but refusing to defend Clinton's refusal to accept bin Laden into US custody after he was offered by Sudan.

I dare you to choose one single liberal topic that you've listed above and debate me on it.

Then, I get to engage you with mine.

We each get 15 posts per topic (30 in all), no more than 100 words per post.

Also, we will not be allowed to link to other sites.

I double-dog dare you.

In fact, if you take me up on it, I'll ask the rest of the FR crowd to stay out of it.

Do you have the guts? Or conversely, are you a coward?

I let him go for quite a while before pulling the trigger, but to be fair, he was gone about 3 hours before you issued your challenge. :-)

One of the best descriptions I've heard of liberals and conservatives, (I think Rush Limbaugh said it) is that liberals feel before making a statement, and conservatives think before making a statement.

Most liberals feel things should be a certain way before really thinking through the consequences.

To say this state is conservative would be a mild understatement. Didn't Ross Perot finish ahead of Clinton here? Also, I don't think the SL Tribune is leftist, it's just a normal paper compared to the Deseret News. The editors at the DNews censor everything, from Dave Barry to AP Wire stories. Still, it was a good post.

hes not a real liberal. a real liberal would never go for the dam, or the shooting range (enviro whackos and NRA haters) and a real liberal wouldnt "ride" anywhere, but walk in their birkenstocks (sp?)plus a real liberal would NEVER admit that the biggest beneficiaries of the welfare state are the people who work in the welfare department....
he's more like a left leaning moderate.....
