What is Liberal?

Hear, Hear. Bravo!As a Christian, Conservative, Republican I heartily agree. Ever since Reagan, the Republican Party has lost its bearings and has become an embarssment. The same is true of much of Christianity today.

When the Prolife Hypocrites step up and commit to loving and adopting every unwanted child then I may listen to them. Until then they are simply yet another example of how totally morally bankrupt the Christian Right is.

If it were a nation of Christians the first amendment wouldn't be misconstrued as it is to impose a theocracy on the rest, the Ten Commandments or other Christian displays wouldn't be pushed upon others on government property at Christmas or any other time, abortion wouldn't be needed since the hypocrites would adopt all the unwanted children, gay marriage would be the law of the land, etc.etc.etc.

I'd like to try a definition of Liberal and Conservative.A Liberal thinks that he knows how to live his life better than you.A Conservative thinks that he knows how to live YOUR life better than you.

The simple fact that the government is organized as it it, with the Judiciary appointed for life and Impeachment being the only way to remove a Justice, shows that the founding fathers were VERY concerned to make sure that the Majority did not determine control. In fact, the existence of the Senate is yet another clear proof in support of protection against the tyranny of the majority. There is also the restriction that a Presidential and Vice-Presidential candidate may not come from the same state.

Actually, the creation of the Anglican Church and Henry's break with Catholicism was far more a product of conflicting calendars and the speed of communication than anything else IMHO. But that's grist for yet another mill.In addition, we need to remember that the Puritan actions included beheading a reigning monarch.But can we head back towards "What is a liberal?"

I disagree. The folk we're talking about, the Classic Creationists, the current crop of Conservatives as reflected by the Republican Party in the US, the Fundamentalists and Evangelicals are not trying to make things the way they used to be, but rather the way they imagine they used to be. There is no connection with the reality or historical accuracy of their imagined past. That past, whether it's the Creation Myth of the Bible, the Flood, the Exodus, the foundation of the US as a Christian Nation or any other subject is not based on fact but rather some fantasy world they have created.If they actually recognized the reality of the past, there would be no Classic Creationists, no CPT theory, no claims that the US is or ever was a Christian Nation, no issues over Ten Commandment statues, Gay Marriage or even abortion.
