I have been called a bleeding heart liberal many times [View all]

I am proud to own the label. If by bleeding heart they mean I think EVERY AMERICAN should eat and have food security in one of richest countries in the world, that folks should be paid a LIVING WAGE Damn Straight I have a bleeding heart where you folks have no heart at all. How can anyone not care that fellow Americans are eating Ramen Noodles and that's all they can afford? Mothers not eating some days so their kids can. That is really happening all over the Country. I would rather have a bleeding heart than no heart at all. Happy Valentines Day DU
