What is a Liberal?

[Townsend]

Sure has been a long, quiet hang-over, hasn't it?

Speaking of, when are you and the Mrs. going to come over and get smilefaced retarded again so we can get on TNF at 3am and post all sorts of farked up smile?

It's the holidays.  I see it in our near future.

Might me time for me to lay down an all day smoke on a turkey or some other dead carcass.

The Brain: Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?
Pinky: I think so Brain... but do I really need 2 tongues?

Sounds like you have had a few already....

Oops, damn fat fingers and skinny keys!

I can't speak for the rest of you, of course, but I prefer to post here while both drunk AND naked.  Maybe it's a long-established habit from my liberal college days, pounding away at a manual typewriter in the wee hours of the morning, trying to get a paper done, while naked co-eds danced suggestively all around me.  I hated that.

Well Ed, that's far preferable than Paul Tay's idea of drinking box wine and riding his bicycle naked.  Manual typewriter? What's that?

Typing with Mr. Johnson again.....

Not sure what a liberal is, but I think I know what they sound like:

[Hometown]

Even Oklahoma experiences the swinging in the pendulum between right and left.  I recall the late stages of the last era of Liberalism.  A friend and I went out to Southland to canvas a cross section of candidates.  It was about 1972.  Each of the candidates we canvassed supported a woman's right to an abortion and each of the candidates saw Oklahoma's Sodomy Laws as a victimless crime that would be overturned with time.

The only well known spokesperson for the Right at that time was William F. Buckley.  Richard Nixon had signed Affirmative Action into law.  Many business men were wearing long hair and side burns.  And a common refrain was "If it feels good, do it."

Black people were making significant advances and many young people got "on the job training" in private businesses that paid their interns with CETA government funds for job training.

The one constant in our way of life, then and now, is change and as the pendulum has swung to the right, so shall it swing to the left.

While today many liberals are inclined to call themselves progressives, it won't be long until the Liberal Brand will be worn with Pride.  We are taking a long ride towards Liberalism in all its glory.

Our family moved here in 1971 from near Philly, PA.  Oklahoma was still conservative enough at that time that my parents noted that Oklahoma Democrats were not much different than Pennsylvania Republicans.  That might be one reason Oklahoma usually goes R in presidential elections.  I was in college back east and then was in the Navy for 4 years so I can only speak personally from late 1976 and on.

Liberal glory .... oxymoron

[FOTD]

Libtards.....

Most of us are progresives....

More of what liberals sound like, in connection with healthcare reform and Joe Lieberman:

[Hometown]

Oklahoma had state sponsored health insurance in the '30s under Liberal Governor Marland.  My nomination for Oklahoma's Greatest Liberal to Date:  Governor Marland of Ponca City.  Founder of Conoco.

[Conan71]

Still does, it's called Sooner Care

Oh, and Marland married his adopted daughter.  Blech!
