Re: Conservatism vs. liberalism in relationship to the state of contemporary America
I am a deeply committed liberal/progressive. However, like Bryan I have never found these discussions to turn out well on a specialty board like this. It caused animosity and drop outs on a baseball board that I frequent. I have too many friends here at the org of both (actually all) sides of the political spectrum. So I say save this discussion for a political forum, for PM's, and for the dinner table and your own blogs. I value this forum too much to take a chance on disrupting it. Thanks for listening to my humble opinion.

"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, their civil liberties; someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicion that grips us; that is what they meant by a liberal, I am proud to be a liberal."
