Of late, I've shied away from calling myself a liberal, not out of fear or because the label is derided by conservatives and the extreme right, but because, in many ways, the meaning of liberal has been blurred to the point that I'm not sure what the word means today. However, with this reminder of the accomplishments of liberals from O'Donnell, I'll wear the label proudly...for today.
One day at a time, Mimi!
ReplyDeletesusan s., yes. Today’s trouble [or contentment] is enough for today.
ReplyDeleteI agree liberal can be a pretty vague label but one thing's for sure, at least it's not Republican.
ReplyDeleteThere was once such a creature as a liberal Republican. Can you believe it, Cathy? The creatures are now extinct.
ReplyDeleteNo I can't believe that. Are they trying to disprove evolution by becoming lower life forms over time? Cunning that.
ReplyDeleteHeh, heh. Could be.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that a quote from 'The West Wing'?
ReplyDeleteThe problem w/ this meme, is that (accompanied by O'Donnell's mug) it makes one think that these "liberals" were noble disinterested white men like himself: not liberal women, liberal African-Americans, etc, etc, etc, fighting for themselves.

Yep. Written by Mr O'Donnell.
