I damned well AM ...

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by William769 (a host of the General Discussion forum).

I am a Liberal, and am damned proud to be labeled as such.

By all means, bludgeon me with it; it hurts so good!

Regards,

First-Way Manny,
Liberal.
Liberal, Liberal, Liberal.
Flaming, screaming, confessed Liberal.
Damn! You bet!

I do recall thinking that it was a pretty bad idea for a post.

Why can't you just own that it was a dumb idea? I had a post locked yesterday that wasn't the brightest thing I ever posted (although it was far less dumb then some other things in the same vein that didn't get locked).

Manny.....as Trumad's brilliant threads proved over the last few days.....if you cannot laugh at yourself, then your humor falls flat.

It was a great idea....it got tons of recs, people were laughing, and it survived a jury......but since YOU thought it was a bad idea.....that's why you contacted the Hosts?

Well I have to admit that all those pictures of trumad are very professionally made, with the rain and all those artifices that we use in photography these days. Oh, I never told you that I was in the photography business some years ago? Sorry, sometimes I talk too much and other-times too little about my private life. Err, were was I? Oh, yes, tricks! To manipulate people. Well I'm sorry to disappoint you but your thread needs reworking, it's a little, well, no, a lot amateurish but hey, at least it's not you who took these pics. And I'm still stupefied about trumad looking so much like Obama, wow, small world indeed.

My name was there, I thought it as funny as all get out. Dawg. I needed a laugh. I have been through so much sadness in my life the past few months. two members of my family died less than two weeks apart. One on Thanksgiving Eve.

I needed a laugh, otherwise my heart would have broken from grief. Msanthrope gave me that.

50 people didn't see it that way, I am sure more would have had it not been locked.

17. K&R!

Hi a Liberal. I am also a liberal. A long haired, hippie type, nearly pinko, bisexual that believes in the Constitution, oversight of the government, freedom of the press and speech. I know that the government works for me not the other way around. I believe in separation of church and state, equality for ALL and keeping those in power in check.

P.S. You forgot three-way-Manny

22. I'll bet there are some other Liberals like us

Who are PROUD to be labeled.

Well stated, Mary!

(I can't forget that which I've never experienced... unless I totally forgot it. Which would be unfortunate.)

87. A few have, in fact

Mostly though it's just been further refinement and extrapolations. Economics took a big shift, as did views on foreign policy.

91. I'll use both now to describe myself (with an explanation attached).

I have just recently embraced the term "far leftist" since so many within my camp seem to think of me as such.

In reality, my views are NOT held by many in the Democratic Party leadership anymore (or the Democratic Senate for that matter).

So, I'll use both to describe myself to others now which serves as an opportunity to describe just what has happened to the Democratic Party, why we haven't seen any progress economically for so many over the past few decades, and the awakening that needs to happen if we ever hope to begin to see economic progress for the masses.

Some will see me as a liberal. Others (Many) will see me as a far-leftist today, and that is why things will continue to get worse for most.

90. Same here

The more the country has shifted to the right, and the more I have educated myself about my working-poor background and the history of what's considered "the left" (which reaches back way beyond the origin of that phrase during the French Revolution), the more I identify as a leftist (democratic socialist, basically).

... only posing as a liberal but are actually a RW troll whose intent is to divide Democrats thereby making the Left a less effective political force? How do we know you're not really Better Believe It in disguise?
