8. I think it's a mistake to assume every 'good' Democrat must be {very} liberal
because most of them (outside this forum) are actually fairly moderate...certainly 'left of center' but hardly to the point of embracing actual communism (which, if you really think about it, is the system Jesus the Christ promoted...proving that irony is far from dead.)

When I signed up here, I read the rules very carefully and even printed them out...the word liberal doesn't appear anywhere in them. "Progressive" is mentioned as a desirable if not totally required position, but whether that equates to 'liberal' as it's commonly understood isn't all that clear to me.

As to our current President, I'm pretty much neutral...I certainly don't hate him but I don't love him either. I assume that's a permitted opinion (?) Some things he has done are okay and some just suck.
In that way, he's not much different from any of the last 10 presidents I've had the privilege to observe.
