I trimmed it down, but left the meat of the quote...
1. Gov. healthcare: so all liberals believe in this? I'm pretty liberal and believe it should be provided for minors who can't afford it or whose parents can't provide it. Should the government work to make it more affordable! absolutely! Do I need to see universal healthcare? Nope, but it should be more affordable. Liberal or logical?
2. "Improve" local school... No child left behind was a bush act, no? Do I want federal oversite and more regulations on teaching to tests? No, but we need more work to imrove thinking, not rote memorization... Should there be tolerance taught, and making sure religious tone stays out of schools 100% yes. Kids can go to private school if they need that education. There should be more incentives to hire the best possible teachers. period. Liberal or logical?
3. Salary caps: Do I have a problem with people getting rich, Hell no. but does it sicken me when John Doe of the X investment company made millions while his clients were losing money, hell yes. There was just a 2million dollar wedding in newport from someone who made a fortune with a trading co... I hope his clients are making money if he is! But no, it is socialist to question the golden parachutes some of the corporate guys get... liberal or logical?
4. Gun control: You cna own all the hand guns and rifles you want for hunting, sporting, whatever, but I still advocate a ban on automatic weapons, and would love to see it remain hard to get a gun. I have zero problem with law-abiding people owning weapons/
5. Abortion: the rights favorite zinger... all liberals do not promote abortion as birth control, but it should ABSOLUTELY be a women's right to choose, period.
