The problem with this country is somehow the word "liberal" has somehow become an evil and bad word. People like Rush, Hannity, Bold Brooklynite, O'Reilly, Coulter, take your pick have used that word to such a negative connotation to endless insipid meaning is insane. Look up the definition of the word "liberal" in the dictionary and I don't see the hidden evil within it as it is somehow been mainstreamed in this country to mean. Somehow being liberal has changed from being a proponent of government programs and slightly more spending to being "God-hating, America-hating, femi-nazi, dictator-loving, terrorist-loving, baby killing, commie loving leftists" and whatever else need be inserted and that has happened with careful and contrived planning. It is quite sad really.
IN essence, being liberal is a good thing. Being conservative is a good thing. There is truly a need for both and always has been and always will be. Reading townhall and Thomas Sowell will not make me a genius any more than reading Paul Krugman. It is what it is. Both sides have their points and both have their morons as well. Is it a black and white world or several shades of grey. To each their own I guess. Politics is a pile of crap nowadays.
