I came across a quote the other day that I had never read. The words of this really made me feel proud:
"If by a 'Liberal' they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people — their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties — someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a 'Liberal,' then I'm proud to say I'm a 'Liberal.
--John F. Kennedy
So, to all the conservative talking heads and fear mongers: Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, and Michael Savage, Hi, my name is J.T. and I'm proud to say "I'm a Liberal."
