Say what you will, but the current liberal movement in this country goes against all that has been considered traditional American values. That tickles many of you to death, but think first......

Name just about any traditional American core value and the liberals have it under attack. And for your left folks, who think American has now adopted the far left ideology because you might elected Obama, think again. America, as a whole is still moderate, with about 10% being far right and 10% being far left. The rest of us fall somewhere in the middle, all of us. We are tugged upon by the extreme polar viewpoints and it needs to stop in my opinion. It is an economic election, not an"America is now as liberal as France" one!

Average Americans are not interested in becoming far-right, isolationists, AND they are not interested in being so far left they trash everything that put us to where we are today.

So, if Obama wins, remember that democrats. Remember what put America where it is today and find some value in those traditions before your throw them all away.

Read the history on the great Roman empire. The people gave blood and sweat to build it, then during a short "liberal" movement, when nobody wanted to give blood and sweat for it anymore, they destroyed it!

I have to agree, I think overall America doesn't want to lean to far in either direction. Liberals think they speak for everyone but they don't.

These are all ridiculous generalizations of someone who is considered "left". Why argue against stereotypes which simply do not exist?

Do you think all of us in Texas wear 10 gallon hats, wear Wranglers, chew backy and know how to trick rope?

Wow, how typical of a self-centered Republican that you would take them for granted enough to discount and insult them. I take it that at work tomorrow you'll work 8 hours, for which right that you take for granted some stupid, old-fashioned liberals died.

"Liberal women" v. "heterosexual women"? hmmm....

"Liberals" v. Christians...hmmm.....

I've spent time and effort at least twice pointing out to you personally that NO ONE is trying to fix it so that nine month old fetuses can be aborted. This gets really irritating after awhile, people just ignore what you show them, they just go blithely on spewing lies.

I think Ive asked you to give me a link backing your claim up a couple of times, you never did. I'm asking you again now.

want Fox news banned - are you talking about the Fairness Doctrine? Obama does not support the Fairness Doctrine, it's unconstitutional.

attack Christians 24/7 - I think they attack hypocrites, and Churchianity. Honest people of every stripe do that - conservatives too.

So liberals cant be Christians? - typical hypocritical UNChristian thing to say.

Think all corporations are evil and should die - that's just stupid. Hate the military - BS. (There are no "liberals" in the military?)

sex ed to 2nd graders, dont know about that but I dont like it, and Im a liberal, thank God. field trips to see a gay marriage ceremony - give me a link.
Joe gets back in his car for the ride home, and turns on a radio talk show. The radio host keeps saying that liberals are bad and conservatives are good. He doesn't mention that the beloved Republicans have fought against every protection and benefit Joe enjoys throughout his day. Joe agrees: "We don't need those big-government liberals ruining our lives! After all, I'm a self-made man who believes everyone should take care of themselves, just like I have."

Again, this correlates to the extreme 10%, you obviously are not, or you would have disputed my points. This relates to the original post and you reaffirmed that by pointing out that all liberals are not supporting of those statements. BUT, that is the direction you are being pulled and not putting up much of a fight!

Just - wow.

And you think your views are moderate?!
