One of the things that disparages folks from identifying how they feel is constructs. I'm not entirely sure why I call myself a liberal, I think it's a good thing to want to learn more about the world and possibly get involved where I can help. We all want to help, or at least some people whether they consider themselves liberal or conservative who are good folks do.
what does it mean to be a good citizen is maybe the question we should ask ourselves. Are we all in the world together, do the things we do affect others in some ways? Nobody wants to step on toes or suggest a person is horrible for believing whatever it is that they do - at least to some extent most feel this is true, at least I hope.
Sometimes ideas or constructs are taxed too much. Nobody likes it when they are called a socialist or communist just because they think healthcare is a right all people should have.
People do have mental issues like depression, or drug dependence, that shouldn't mean they should not get the help they need - that would be wrong. People can learn from other points of view as long as they are expressed in truthful ways. Capitalism is not evil, quite the opposite in many respects. Governments can be corrupt history shows that they can.
Most people want a sustainable economic system and a strong middle class and equality but the question is how, not why. You see this in all the propaganda whether from politics or by business trying to sell perhaps what they feel is a good product that can help people.
Henry Ford had some great ideas, sure, he had his problems too. I don't know what the heck he was, I don't think anybody ever asked him if he was a conservative or a liberal. Nor did anyone ask that question from Thomas Edison or even Walt Whitman.
I don't think Hemingway was a liberal even though he was anti fascist or seemed to be very much so. Truth be told, I wouldn't really know. I'm a politically registered Independent, but I always vote for Democrats for the most part. Sure I voted for Nader a couple of times, but only because I lived in California and I knew it wouldn't affect the vote - I wanted him but people, most didn't I thought sadly.
Times are tough these days for liberals politically. There's been a lot of propaganda against their views generally speaking - you can't put them all into one group in a nutshell yet we sense this shift that has transpired and changed a lot of good work we all thought we had the right to count on. Man oh man, there are a lot of great things we aren't doing as a country. Things that we are perfectly capable of doing, and it hurts that we ain't doing those things. This I am quite convinced is true.
Peace!
