On the other hand, liberals aren't even liberal.

Just... sharing a tiny bit more at a time.  It is all some can take and I am busy.

One major point of contention.  America, at least in the past, did not become great because of a love of money.  It became great because it believed people should be free to create, and use, wealth.  A belief that was based on a faith  that God gave us laws and rights, things the state should not interfere, hinder, or attempt to end.  Fundamentally, America was great because of, and through, Christian beliefs and the employment of those truths.  Not a love of money.  I'll give him some cover, that he was speaking about mundane economics, and not digging all the way through.  For now.  I have a brother who calls himself a conservative, when in truth all he believes in is money, and probably power.  The love of these things, without understanding there is spirit, soul, God, is... just as empty as the other side... which he came from.  Yes, I told him so.  And, no, this isn't about you, mm.

I am still considering whether I am, exactly, liberal.  In the sense brought up in the clip.  Yes, of course, but...  No less, or more, than the founding fathers had to consider, if much more than most even think to ponder.  Liberty does have a place, but how responsibility, restraint, and how those and some other things tie into a cohesive civil reality, and should or should not be enforced, is... Well, it's complicated.  Don't let sound-bites or emotions fool you into believing you can honestly pursue those truths.  Grow up, thinking about what you owe and what you deserve, on both sides of the coin... what of that is personal, what of it is social.  Mix in God, mundane realities, and what really seems to work and not work.  By the time you die, it is hoped, you might understand that you can't know.  If you don't have faith, you have nowhere to go but down.


Later.
