Here's my cut & paste of the day....
A couple years ago DailyKos asked it's readers to come up with a list of what liberals stand for. I found this list to be the most accurate. It was posted by "Jared Dunn".
Here it is:
Liberty or Freedom
privacy
citizen privacy(repeal patriot act, replace with solutions that both empower us to fight terror and protect privacy whenever possible.)
consumer privacy(control over your personal info, transparent credit and financial, opt-out laws, etc.)
health / reproductive privacy(choice, access to contraceptives, control over medical records)
right to die with dignity
sane drug policy / medical marijuana
civil liberties
freedom of/from religion
personal moral freedom / freedom of conscience
freedom of expression
right to peacably assemble
right to unionize
right to bear arms, with reasonable regulation
Equality and Opportunity
equality of opportunity
social security
progressive taxation
equal access to basic health care
equal access to and quality of education
living wage
equal access to technology(digital divide)
equal access to culture/media(copyright reform/ FCC and broadcast reform)
fair trade laws
open society / welcoming immigrants
equal protection under the law
anti-discrimmination protections
consumer/investor protections
right to marry
equal pay for equal work and other gender equality issues
worker rights / protections
freedom from fear / hate(hate crimes, hate groups, etc)
Security
strong/smart military
smart, effective, accountable homeland security
strong alliances and international institutions
US leadership on global issues(terrorism, poverty, health, energy, environment.)
US leadership on democracy and human rights
US leadership in innovation and technology(stem cells, alt energy, etc)
Responsibility
protecting the environment
protecting our cultural heritage
rebuilding community and civic life
sustainable/independent energy policy
21st century infrastructure
good government
anti-corruption
responsive govt
accountability
transparancy
electoral/campaign finance reform
fiscal responsibility
THIS LIST REPRESENTS THE LIBERAL MESSAGE ALONG WITH THE DEMOCRATS. ONCE THE DEMOCRATS GAIN CONTROL IN NOVEMBER, WE CAN EXPECT AN OVERHAUL OF THE CURRENT GOVERNMENT!!!!

How can Bush and the right-wingers support such a list when it goes against everything they stand for.
Bush can't allow people to live "spy-free".
Bush can't allow privacy when he is into peeping into innocent Americans lives.
Bush can't allow equal opportunity, social security, fair trade laws, living wage and all these other things that might give people a better life.
How can the "Monarch" of America allow his own citizens to enjoy life?
Bush is running a "Dictatorship" in the theatre of his mind.
Bush is one-third of the "Axis of Evil" and he will not stop until he has world dominance.

Larry, I posted a list that reflects how liberals feel and what is important to them...
but...
It's a list that is the complete opposite of what Bush,the neocons and their party stand for!
They've done the opposite of everything on that list.
November can't come fast enough for me! Please come! Please come! Please come!

Kay,
I just hope the people don't sit on their duffs in complacency because neither party is for average people.
That is the problem with all the negativity in right-wing politics. They attack everyone but themselves to distract from the mess they have made of this country.

Exactly Larry. Both parties right now should be ashamed of themselves for their roles over the past 6 years, but that doesn't mean that you and I have been complacent!!! We've taken a stand and will continue to. The fact that democrats kicked Joe Lieberman and Cynthia McKinney off the ballot for November (though Asshole Joe has decided to run as an independent) is a sign that OUR PARTY IS STRONG AND WE KNOW WHAT OUR VALUES ARE!!!!
If the elections are not being rigged right now behind the scenes, the democrats are going to kick ass all over this nation in November. Americans are bullshit at what is happening. I watched a reporter recently on the news ask a republican voter who she was going to vote for and she said 'for the democrat'. There are many like her in our country right now.
Americans are understanding that COUNTRY is more important THAN PARTY. That's how it should be...always!!!
