Reply #12: "Some liberals"

[Evergreen Emerald]

I am also tired of the stereotyping of liberals. We are given specific qualities--and frankly dehumanized--thereby making it easier to be a "them" versus and "us." DU is filled with a variety of people who have one thing in common: we see that our republic is in trouble with the current administration. Other than that, the beliefs about the military (and other topics) run the spectrum.

I am not afraid of the military. I am afraid of the administration and how they have used the men and women in uniform.

Labeling liberals has been ingrained in our collective mindset due to the constant re-defining done in the 90s by those who wanted to gain power. It worked. We must overcome the urge to reinforce those lies.
