I'm not specifically liberal, I've just been pigeoned holed into being one. I am fighting for what American was or should have been. I did many relief flights to Africa to feed people. Yet now Republicans preach, keep the money at home while at the same time attack relief efforts at home. They talk a mean game about pro-life, but refuse to give money to PP, whose Federal money is spent on well baby and well mommy as well as Stds, and not one cent of Fed money on abortion. (Put my money where my mouth is, several decades of CFC and such like donations went specifically there). I'm not specifically liberal, but the scapegoating of illegals as the source of all troubles, and being prepared to change American law so that a latino has to prove citizenship or being assumed guilty, is not American. I'm not specifically a liberal, but when Republicans place industry above government (like fascists), fail to fund or allow appointments to posts in regulatory agencies, like the Labor Board or the Consumer Credit Protection Agency, when tort reform specifically limits the liability of businesses, and restricts the rights of the injured parties, how can one not avoid the label liberal? When the Tea Party purges Republican senior officials for reasons of ideological purity, a kinder, gentler version of the "Night of the Long Knives." how can one remain Conservative? Anti liberalism, a mythic past, traditional values, militarism, and above all hatred of gays, latinos, women on BC,all strike me that the Tea Party has taken the Republican party to fascism. I'm a liberal because I am a real conservative, I believe in America, not Corporate America.
