[StartQuote] Great transition to insanity guys. President Franklin D. Roosevelt and President John F. Kennedy were world class liberals. Sergeant Alvin York was an avowed pacifist, and became the most decorated American soldier in WWI. Are theirs the liberal values you despise? Or do you prefer the values of Congressman Randy Cunningham, now serving a sentence in prison for being excessively conservative and greedy? I'm sorry to see that some forum members aren't able to bite their tongue, as my conservative grandmother would say, and speak only when they have something worthwhile to say. I learned my liberal values from my father, and he flew Recon over the D-Day Invasion and for a year in Korea. How is it that against all the evidence, you can still be confused and mistaken about what it means to be a liberal? I've begun volunteering as work crew on the Red Oak Victory Ship because I believe people need ever-present visual reminders of what sort of sacrifice and industry it takes to preserve democracy. Preserving a symbol of war doesn't conflict with my liberal values, and neither does supporting any war that preserves sanity. Don't forget that most wars are begun by people who despise another group of people. Liberals run newspapers so that news is available to public. By your standard, a conservative newspaper with a budget to meet would reject news in favor of a redundant history lesson. The newspaper I read always manages to observe the WWII victory days on the same day the American people were told of the cease-fire. No one was dying two weeks later when the paperwork was signed. Why imply such a thing? And it needs mentioning that when liberals were in charge of the curriculum, history and civics and science were important subjects. It's conservatives who have retreated to intelligent design and the Three Rs, reading writing and arithmetic. How is it that under the conservative regime of the past several Republican administrations, and Republican- dominated Congress during the Clinton administration, a majority of American school children didn't learn to find America on a globe of the world? It was a liberal idea that every American child should have a free education. It was conservative businessmen who preferred a young and uneducated work force. Before you decide to despise liberals, get your facts right. [EndQuote]
