When did liberal become a four letter word? Optimism, revisited. |
|
saw this JFK quote posted earlier and thought I'd re-post.
But if by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people -- their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties -- someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a "Liberal," then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal."
thanks, pinto

It started in the Raygun years, and was perfected by Gingrich crowd.

4. But, what about the JFK quote? It can't all be about "them" can it? |
|
We are letting conservatives define us.

6. So it comes to pass, they define us. We must do the same to them |
|
We must come full circle where Good is Good and Bad is Bad.
Truth, Sanity, Reason, Logic, Common Sense must be rescued from the dark dungeon where they now reside.

|
go on billboards, with a pic of JFK.
