I live in the south and have for all my life (59 years). I can say from experience that being liberal is not a common thing here. I worked for a large corporation for 35 years and being liberal there was not common either. The Republican party has decided that 'liberal' is now an undesirable. It had sort of cooled down while they were raping the US for 8 years but since Obama was elected by a large majority, they have once again decided it's Anti-American to be liberal. It's not. I'm proof.
I love this country, I love living in it even if I have to hear all sorts of arms fire every weekend. I support the Constitution. I support personal freedoms. I think the richest country in the world has an obligation to feed it's children and provide for the 'general welfare' of it's citizens. I don't like bailing out Corporations but I also don't want to see a total collapse of the financial system because they play fast and loose with our money. But, I'm the crazy liberal so I'm not a patriot and I hate America. Evidently I'm who the Tea Party wants to take their country from. I didn't know I had it.
I had great hope of a country working together after the last election but I knew better deep down. I remember the craziness that was unleashed on Clinton. Heck, he's not even liberal and neither is Obama. So the new liberal is now anything left of typical Republican conservative.
So, now I'm just waiting for the roving gangs to start hunting us liberals down to make sure our beloved country does not become Communist, Socialist, Marxist and any number of lies the right wing want everyone to think we are.
We are Americans and we are patriots and I am liberal.
