See? Liberalism IS a mental disorder....

It's interesting that the dictionary definitions paint a very rosy picture of liberals and a very negative picture of conservatives, and I think Brophy indicated earlier that this was a problem. The definitions. I know conservative people who would protest that definition by saying, "I'm not opposed to change, I just don't want to jump off the cliff without a parachute," or, in terms of so-called traditional values, "I don't want to throw out the baby with the bathwater." And there are those also who would add to the definitions of liberal something along the lines of "having a disdain for traditional practices."

Liberals need to understand that just because an approach is old fashioned doesn't mean it is bad. Conservatives need to understand that just because something is new doesn't mean it is dangerous.
