By Neomalthusian:

Modern liberalism's strongest features include:

There is no "modern liberalism". Now everyone who wants call themselves "liberals"
Including ***, totalitarians and communists.

Pointing fingers in a political sense when you fail to understand the rationality behind a grand series of failures is not what makes a Liberal,
in fact, it's just the very opposite.
You could almost say that what makes a Liberal is a mixture of truthful conservative mixed with the keen observation of truthful outcomes that reveal a pattern of outcomes, even if it deals with truths such as  American hegemony, or as Noam Chomsky says, manufactured public consent.
The truth behind the Iraq war was never fully adjudicated by Congressional Oversight, instead they decided to elect a bipartisan commission that sought to end the discussion quickly in far less time than what it took investigate the Benghazi issue where a small US diplomatic office was invaded and a US diplomat was killed - which launched a two year long Congressional affaire that ended with Hillary Clinton, who came before the right-wing congress several times, being labeled an abject failure - and a political target  / which was the reason behind the entire effort, and revealed not much else - chalk one up for the waste of time, that was the obviously a fiasco **** political operation. (same as the oversight against tax-free 501c3 IRS)
So what makes a Liberal?
So you were bred for humanity and sold to society, until you'll wake up, so you were nothing more than another voice in the wilderness.
Poetry, the world made up of people, the arts, the infinitesimals as Leo Tolstoy enumerated when it came down to the true evils of war
well over one hundred years ago. What gives you empathy, what gives you hope, resolve. What is peace, if not a long and laboring process?
What is moderation, what is the most economical use of finite resource?
What makes a Liberal is not anti - conservatism, true Conservatism is not antithetical to Liberalism, and knowing that truth makes a liberal mind,
a liberal truth, a liberal voice embodied by true knowledge and fact.

Having an open mind and the curiosity and learning that goes with it, cheerful disposition, sense of fairness, are the building blocks to making a liberal.

From Pgr1

Look it's not that complicated. Economically, conservatives believe that if we help the rich get even richer, they will in turn take care of the rest of us (create jobs, give to charity, in other words it will trickle down). Historically you have to go back to the Eisenhower administration to find anything repubkicans ever did for the working people. Try taking "the shortest political quiz". It will tell you where you are on the political spectrum.

Minimum wage, Medicare, medicaid, social security, public television, civil rights bill, voting rights act to name a few we can thank democrats for

Agreed!

You should be rooting for omh...

 

What does a government regulate for all its citizens? Their time adapting when occupying space now so those ranked beyond just evolving in the moment are a higher class than those adapting in space honestly here.
Intellectually sacrificing biological time for a greater good cause of ignoring life doesn't exceed the moment here living has always been a series parallel event for each reproduction ever added to their relative ancestral species.

the 10 commandments to leading people beyond their time adapting to the moment here.

1. Never allow anyone to discuss the natural process of genetics eternally separating active replacements equally here.
2, Always educate it is better to believe in tomorrrows than resist people never accepting now is eternity.
3. Always be true to your ancestral beliefs when demanding human rights to stay in character assigned by rule of law.
4. Honor the sacrifices done by previous 4 generation gaps to assure nobody knew when corruption began.
5. Never question social policies defending one's character cradle to grave.
6. Never stand your personal time as one of a kind since socially there are no I's in we or team events.
7. Pick a side and be willing to eliminate anyone not taking sides, and always stay away from persons changing sides since they won't stay loyal to one track mentality.
8. Stay on message no matter what other franchises do.
9. Better to raise hell than live as one of a kind.
10. reasonable doubt is your soul to avoid your own sole time adapting in space here.
