This has been on my mind for awhile
Edited on Wed Oct-29-03 03:51 AM by La_Serpiente
Throughout the years, liberals have been the target of violent attacks from conservatives. In essense, Conservatives have stolen the dignity from the word "liberal".

However, Liberals are the ones that pushed for equality during the sixties and seventies. Liberals are the ones that fought for Social Security and Medicare. Liberals are the ones who introduced the concepts of non-violence to Americans. Liberals are the ones that championed labor and environmental rights.

Liberals have brought many positive things to this nation. However, many people refuse to recognize it because the word "Liberal" has become an unfair target and scapegoat for those who choose to undermine its values.

This is my concern. How do we restore respect to the word liberal for the masses?

4. There's nothing wrong with the word liberal that a little in your face
politics won't cure. Calling the Republicans liars on national tv every chance a 'liberal' gets AND BACKING IT UP WITH FACTS!!! will fix what ails the Democratic party. Funny how the Republicans have been able to lull the Democratic talking heads into believing Al Gore lost the election in 2000. Wake TFUp! Al Gore and the liberal idea won the 2000 election! Since then Liberal America is disgusted that the Democratic talking heads ACT like the minority party. Pussy's bowing down to the Conservative mantra afraid to speak out for what we believe, whinning that the Republicans aren't playing fair. Kiss my ass, get out of my face Republicans, your liars and if you give me a minute without interupting me (in other words CNNMSNBCFOX shut the yapping conservative sitting next to me the FU and I'll tell you how they lie. And then bitchslap them for attacking you!

7. Here's the solution....
take "Al Sharpton oratory classes"..whadda ya think? :7 Liberals need to stand up to the screaming repukes like Sharpton did to Tweety the other night.....Just shut 'em down.

Explain the above attributes of the Democrats. Keep repeating...repeating....repeating...over and over and over. Eventually it will sink in. Isn't that the way repukes work? If they say something over and over and over.....the sheeple follow suit.
