<p>I’m not sure that Liberals and Conservatives would disagree on all of your bullet points, i.e. support international alliances, etc. But I’d be very interested in your definition of a “humanitarian crisis” - for instance, is the starvation and deprivation of virtually the entire North Korean population a “humanitarian crisis”?, is the killing of 300,000 Iraqis a year by Saddam Hussein a “humanitarian crisis”? Is the subjugation of the female population of most of the Arab world (only 50 percent of women in Arab countries are literate and many are subject to “honor” killings, etc. a “humanitarian crisis”? Darfur seems to be the “liberal” “humanitarian crisis” of the moment[and I think it is] - do you believe we should send American troops in to protect the people of Darfur? [I do but I don’t hear Hillary or Howard Dean or John Kerry or the great liberal Teddy Kennedy calling for troops in Darfur?] I’d be very interested in your answers. Who represents the real hypocrisy?</p>

<p>FF, I had the same reaction…where are the Scoop Jacksons, the Sam Nunns, etc.? The Democrats could become a force again if they channelled some of their more serious forebears, through, say, Zell Miller. The continued Durbinization of the party does no one any good.

<p>I think we should intervene in Darfur
I think we should fund vaccinations in Africa
I think we shouldn’t have back the Taliban in Afghanistan
I think we should open up doors to Cuba
I think we shouldn’t have had to be shamed into sending more money to aid Indonesia after the tsunami than was spent on election parties.
I think we should be paying more attention to Korea than Iraq
I live in Seattle - should I be building a bomb shelter?</p>

What I see is one of problems of democratic party is they can’t get their *&@! together. There are the environmental factions- the health care for all factions-social justice- equality- public education- it goes on and on
many noble causes but I see them working against each other instead of moving forward.</p>

45

<p>The reason dems can’t get their ($*% together is that we allow for differing opinions…unlike another party who walks lockstep</p>

<p>it is frustrating being a democrat, seeing how good the other party is in planning, manipulating, calling all liberals bad, and so on</p>

<p>Unlike the Reps, Dems are willing to compromise and work with others. THe Reps just want it all</p>

As long as it is a pro-choice opinion. If you happen to be a certain democratic governor of PA who is pro-life, well then … tough cookies.</p>

<p>As a follow-up, all charges were eventually dropped. </p>

<p>It is not pleasant to be in an environment in which either rampant proselytizing nor rampant liberalism are permitted, condoned, and a blind eye is turned to the damaging effects of such extremism.</p>

48

<p>Aries, right you are. But don’t forget that rampant liberalism can also involve proselytizing, and is in fact far more common on campuses than religion.</p>

49

<p>I think you might mean radicalism. Liberal isn’t a dirty word, unless you are a reactionary. ;)</p>

<p>Thanks, SBMom.</p>

<p>Correction: rampant radicalism or proselytizing (and fill in with your “or” of choice).</p>

51

<p>rampant liberalism can also involve proselytizing,</p>

<p>rampant conservatvism inherently implies a heavy burden of prosletyzing</p>

<p>becoming liberal is an enlightenment(I used to be a conservative, obviously Im not one now) its a lot like platos allegory of the cave, once you stop believing in the shadows of truth of the bush administration and start finding out things on your own behalf, then youll be in the light!!!</p>
