This Dick Tuck fellow is fucking hilarious - read this crazy shit! Also, check out Wikipedia.

I was looking at the Wikipedia article on modern American Liberalism, and thought these 2 definitions were interesting (1st one is from JFK).


John F. Kennedy defined liberalism this way:

"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.'[3



Princeton Sociologist Paul Starr described it by saying,[2]

"Liberalism wagers that a state... can be strong but constrained – strong because constrained... Rights to education and other requirements for human development and security aim to advance equal opportunity and personal dignity and to promote a creative and productive society. To guarantee those rights, liberals have supported a wider social and economic role for the state, counterbalanced by more robust guarantees of civil liberties and a wider social system of checks and balances anchored in an independent press and pluralistic society."



I looked up the article on Ron Reagan, and he's a liberal which is pretty interesting- said Bush has no right to speak for his father-- that although some of Bush's policies are extensions of 80's policies, they were in completely different spirit than Bush's policy. The article on him is pretty interesting.

Lou Dobbs, Glenn Beck, and Communism are a lot alike- they're all great in theory, but in actuality, they're not so super

McCain is attacking Obama for being too much like pres. carter... i don't think this will work, and if he's not careful, this could be his bob dole moment- the one that makes him look to old to be electable.

I wish I could make a career out of bitching about 1 thing every night like Lou Dobbs has done.

Also, Clinton's job now would be a hell of a lot easier if she hadn't gone so damn negative in the primaries.

Oh yeah, and we wouldn't have pledged Clinton delegates to the national convention publicly supporting McCain!

Recent financial releases show the McCain's have $225,000 in credit card debt. Can you really claim to be a financial conservative when you have $225,000 in f'ing credit card debt?

Also, Rudy in his truly douche-tastic form that we have come to know, said that he will only appear at fundraisers for McCain if he gets a cut of the money.

This is a quality article.

Shit, i didn't realize that Kerry had 251 electoral votes- I thought it was less than that. Obama is definitely more than 19 votes better than him. If he could pick up everything Kerry did and add on either just Ohio or Iowa & Virginia, he'd have the election.

I think if HRC wanted the VP slot, she really hurt her chances by not at least admitting that he won the nomination last night. And rightfully so- if she's no enough of a team player to at least admit he won, she doesn't deserve to be on the ticket. Not to mention the fact that having Bill along would be a lot, a whole lot, more baggage in a general election than in an all-Democrat primary.
