One of my biggest dissappointment of John Kerry, when faced with Bush calling him the most liberal senator in the US....Kerry stated something to the effect of not labelling people, which is ok, but what I was really hoping to hear is a point by point exclamation of why it is GOOD to be liberal.
So - brainstorm what it means to be liberal. Not apposed to conservative - just what it means to be liberal.
I read somewhere that utopia could be defined where every single person could persue whatever religion they wanted, strive for whatever career they dreamed of, married whomever they wished - and not be able to force those attributes on any other person.
I have claimed that as my own - as it is something I deeply beleive in. My version of being a liberal is being free to choose whatever religion I wish, marry anyone I would like to, persue any career that I can dream of, and not be able to force any of those attributes on any other soul.
Thoughts duers? What does it mean to you - core beliefs please, not just policies....
