Long live liberalism!

I want a new political party. The Liberal Party. I'm proud to be a liberal. And an advocate of liberal causes. Seems to me that liberals are going out of style. Some liberals don't even want to be called liberals anymore. They prefer being 'progressives.' Because conservatives have made 'liberal' sound as if it's evil or bad or disgraceful. In other words, conservatives have been allowed to define liberal negatively. When really they have no idea what liberal means. Oh, we liberals may be in the minority. But I think of us as an elite minority. Especially here in the USA. But hey, we'll be in the majority some day. If only we keep promoting liberalism. Programs such as social security and medicare and socialized medicine. And, oh yes, we liberals tend to be more in tune with socialism than with capitalism. Nothing wrong with that. Unfortunately, we liberals have lost ground in the past 100 years. Absorbed by other political parties. Some have found havens in the Democrat Party. But we really need our own party. So that we can pursue a full-scale liberal agenda. Long live liberalism! --Jim Broede
