To Howard Dean (respect)
*
Do you actually expect any one born in the USA to possess these
qualities, especially a politician? You do not need to give a laundry
list of word to describe someone who will do the right thing,
one word would do it, respect. Respect for self and others.
If you possess this quality there is nothing else you need.
Before you can be a good citizen you have to possess the quality
of civility, which embodies respect for self and others.
Is that not the every essence of being a liberal, to fight for
the rights of others and to protect the rights of others? The
word liberal is used the same as was the word nigger to demean
and to debase those whom you hate. Most conservatives hate
liberals for the very definition they are, to protect the rights of
others. Conservatives want to take the right away of others
and see those who deny them this action as fighting to take their
rights away. The right to deny others their rights. *
In whose image? If you think liberalism, which is to fight for
others rights, as something to not embody, citizenship means
little, just another word for nothing left to lose. Patriotism is
always used right before they drastically steal rights away.
