coldean's JournalWhy I'm proud to be a liberal
I heard a question on tv quite some time back and the answer to that question was a real eye opener and has stuck with me over the years.
W: Why don't liberals stick together on all their issues like conservatives do, you hear them bickering back and forth with each other often?
A: Because liberals are FREE THINKERS. We have an open mind and our own opinions. We do not go around acting like robots and spew the exact same messages that conservatives have rehearsed. Sure all liberals want the same outcome but our opinion may differ on how to get there.
This is so very true and this answer makes me proud to be a member of the liberal community. It's what we teach our children. To be themselves, to think for themselves and to use their brain.
So why are we so quick to attack other liberals when they have a different opinion? So quick to accuse them of not being a liberal just because they criticize a liberal president or other politicians?
We need to stop acting like conservatives and stop demanding that all liberals must agree with how all liberal politicians conduct their business. Stop attacking liberals who have a different opinion on the things our president does. We do not have to think the same to call ourselves liberals, we are not robots. When someone who has differing opinions than you call themselves a liberal who are you to question their party?
We need to value other inputs from our fellow liberals and agree to disagree if you have to.
THIS IS THE WAY WE EXPECT OUR COUNTRY TO TREAT OUR CITIZENS SO LET'S START BY TREATING EACH OTHER THIS WAY!
Army officer denied entry to his daughter's high school for wearing his uniform
I tried searching this forum to see if this has been discussed already and I didn't find anything. I am a new poster here though and haven't figured my way around everything yet so please let me know if this is had been posted anywhere.

When I first read this story it set off my "this doesn't sound right" radar. It's made it's rounds to all the news outlets. I've been checking for updates for a month because I had a feeling nothing would ever be reported about the outcome of the investigation of the security company this school uses.
Probably because they could not find any security officers that actually denied this father entry to the school because it clearly didn't happen.
1. Why does daddy need to help his high school daughter find her way through a high school?
2. Why would any public American school have such a policy?
3. The superintendent is a veteran and says there is no such policy in their school.
4. I suppose Mom was going to sit in the car while Dad and daughter took a walk around the school.
5. This story came out when illegal immigration was a hot topic and supposedly a landlord recently told his renters to take down their American flag outside. (B.S. as well) and of course midterm elections.
6. I applaud the way that the principal and superintendent handled the situation. They clearly didn't want to accuse a member of our armed forces is a shameless and obvious liar!!
Your thoughts?
I am so happy to be here, thank you for having me
I just deleted an online forum account that I belonged to for about 6 years, I've met a few really great people but the forum is mainly full of conservatives.
I finally got so tired and fed up with arguing with the same people for so many years and decide to search for an online community filled with like minded people.
I think I should have deleted that account right after arguing with these idiots about why it is so wrong to allow the Stubenville rapist back on the football team. Yea that should tell you a lot.
Anyway, I am a 39 year old woman from Texas. I have been married for 20 years and have two young adult children. I usually work full-time as a CNA but because of health reasons have been home for the last 9 months.
I'm a die hard liberal and I'm from Texas. My greatest wish is to see Texas turn blue before I die.
My greatest wish was to see a black president and a female president but I had no idea it would happen while I was still so young. I can see a female president in the near future so I had to readjust my dreams.
