HEY! LIBS! Where Are You? Check In Here, Please!

[Hawkgirl]

Those who are not "libs" can't be your pals? How sad is that. You are only as lonely as you make yourself. Arguing a point with conservatives or republicans can't be so lonely, unless you are wrong.

There are plenty of libs here. Even if they are LIBertarian

It's actually not at all relevant and also, it's not so black and white of a world as all that.

Even the most hard core "libs" I know are "conservative" on some things, ditto with all the "cons" I know - some of them are quite "liberal" on some issues.

Still trying to grasp the importance of this. Oh wait, I already did.

None.

I did not mean to imply that those who are not libs cannot be my pal. Of course they can. No need to feel sad, Hawkgirl - cheer up! It's not as bad as you seem to think.

Hmmmm . . . so far, three libs (counting myself) and that's about it. Some middle of the roaders and one or two authoritarians. Not too good. Surely there are some more liberals here. Let's hear it from ya!

That's the whole problem with labels. They're hardly ever accurate. Same with stereotypes.

Let's see. Libs - come on out of hiding and identify yourselves. Post on this thread and let me know who we've got here. Frankly, I'm feelin' pretty lonely right about now.

There were more but most have seen the light after being here a while.

We're a dying breed. Incidentally, here are a few things liberals believe (IMO):

• Limited government
• Liberty of individuals including:
  • Freedom of Religion
  • Freedom of Speech
  • Freedom of the Press
  • Freedom of Assembly
  • Free markets

That's what's sort of funny about this - no telling exactly what the OP would call a "Lib."

Back to what I was saying about labels and stereotypes - these as applied by individuals, to groups - in their own mind that is, hardly ever accurate.
