Are there Liberal traits that you DON'T like?

128. "The selling out of the time honored positions of making change

that helps the least influential of the population. A complete abandonment of all the issues that help the poorest, most vulnerable of the nation."

It appears to me that it is the moderates/centrists who are doing that kind of stuff.

I think I must have a different concept of who the liberals are than many posters here. When I think of liberal Democratic legislators, I think of FDR, Dennis Kucinich, Raul Grijalva, Alan Grayson, etc. Those who understand the issues you speak of.

Liberals to me are the people who got out in the streets with Occupy, and to protest Vietnam and the WTO, and all those who actually walk the walk in daily life.

If me and my liberal friends had our way, we would have a Democratic/Socialist government that focused entirely on providing for the well-being and the needs of human beings and the planet, and regulated capitalism into total submission to the people.

To me, liberals walk the walk of living conscious lives of respect and compassion for people and the planet. They live their beliefs.



Centrists, on the other hand, IMO, support laissez faire capitalism and all the evils, waste, and destruction that go with it.
