Liberalism

I find it ironic that the very people who call themselves Liberals, the same Liberals that expect everyone to be tolerant of their beliefs, want to boycott and stop a restaurant chain from opening in the cities they govern because they disagree with the restaurant owners beliefs.

I always thought that Liberal meant someone that stood for individual liberty for "'all" Americans. I guess somewhere along the way that definition changes and they forget to tell us all.

I am neither a Conservative nor a Liberal. I think that any stance too far in either direction is wrong. I think that people should respect the views and beliefs of others, even if they differ from our own.

We have enough problems that need real attention in this country without the constant distractions of politicians trying to one up each other on how right they are and how wrong the other guy is.
If we truly want change in our country we need to vote these people out of office and demand real checks and balances that are fool proof.
