1. I am just a rookie,
but they are two different things, you should have a "both" button. I do see what you are getting at though, why not rename the animal.

4. Liberals. Pisses Republicans off more
And if we change our labels just to please them, we win nothing.

7. I'm a pinko
The red of my youth has been diluted to pink by the realization that only a mixed economy with elements of both capitalism and socialism can be both competitive and humane.

Of course, that's rhetorical, since we've exported the means of production and will no longer be able to afford socialism as we pay off the massive debt of the Bush years.

8. radical
"A liberal: Someone who looks at all the "crazy" things happening in the world - wars launched on completely bogus justifications, millions of people without health care in the richest country in the world, etc. - and thinks they are the irrational outcomes of a fundamentally rational system.


A radical: Someone who looks at the same things and thinks they are the rational outcomes of a fundamentally irrational system.


I'm not a liberal." -http://lefti.blogspot.com/2004_11_01_lefti_archive.html#109950689595215051
