Rane's definition of "liberal" is not the political definition. It is
a personality type. There are many political conservatives who fit all
of Rane's criteria, and many political liberals who don't fit any of
them.
The two words are homonyms. Rane's equating the two is like equating
the rough surface of a stucco wall with orange roughy, the edible
fish. It's obviously irrelevant and obviously based on, or intended to
create, confusion. It was entertaining once, years and years ago, but
has long since lost it's novelty for all of us but one.

no, I think he actually believes it. I think he also believe the illiberal
applies to all conservatives.

Rane seems to either be extremely closed-minded, or trolling. For
someone who is well educated, he brings very little new knowledge into
discussions. Instead, he just copies and pastes things, and reiterates
democratic talking points. And when confronted with contradicting
information, he just reiterates democratic talking points. He's gotten
to the point where even Sindi is sick of reading his definition of
liberal!
I think we would be better off if people stopped copying their
respective party leaders and tried to think for themselves for once.
And when you come to a different conclusion than your party, I wish you
would have the integrity to stand by what you believe and not tow the
party line. This applies to people like RC and RW as well as KLG.

to portray reid as a liberal, klg quotes very conservative media. The
National Journal is a well known right wing publication. Of course you are
going to find right wing media that will say that ANY democrat is a liberal.
Get better sources than that. Reid is center to right, he is an NRA member,
he is pro-life.

Then why does he check with moveon.org before he says anything?
And, if Reid is "center to right," what do you call Lieberman and
Nelson?
And, Curl, as far as I am concerned, you can post your "liberal"
definition every hour on the hour. If I decide I don't want to read
it, I won't. It really isn't that hard to do.

Lieberman is center to right on foreign policy, and liberal on social
issues.
Nelson is center to right.
Not all democrats are liberals and not all republicans are
conservatives klg, or didnt you know that?

No way. You're kiddin me, bro. (This isn't another of your jokes??)
Both Reid & Lieberman are center to right? Seems to me they have
slightly different opinions on Iraq. That center to right must cover a
lot of turf.

re #480
Lieberman is center to right on foreign policy, and liberal on social
issues.
I disagree. He's been screaming about the "faith based initiatives" being
a ploy to give tax dollars to legally protected bigotry.

Isn't it "liberal" to object to "faith based initiatives"?

liberal (adj). 1. Possessing or manifesting a free and generous heart;
bountiful. 2. Appropriate or fitting for a broad and enlightened mind.
3. Free from narrowness, bigotry, or bondage to authority or creed, as
in religion; inclined to democratic or republican ideas, as opposed to
monarchical or aristocratic, as in politics; broad, popular,
progressive.
No. I think that would be ungenerous, not enlightened, narrow-minded,
and non-progressive.

Lieberman just announced he's running for re-election. Connecticut's GOP
congressman endorsed him. I don't know why klg should dislike a guy so
intensely religious as Lieberman. I mean the guy refused to campaign on the
sabbath when he ran for vp and president.

Re #484: you are correct in so long as the "faith based initiative" does
not engage in prosletyzing or use any of the support for its religious
purposes. Once it does that it becomes "ungenerous, not enlightened,
narrow-minded, and non-progressive". My impression from news reports is
that most "faith based initiative" can't resist prosletyzing, and thereby
they become illiberal.
