   “Bill Press: ‘Liberals don’t have to be afraid of who they are’”

   Yes they do.

   Terps, only when they go to the wal-mart parking lot with bumper stickers declaring their liberalism.

   At that point, all bets are off on their paint job.

   True, terps – in Roanoke, Virginia, they always do. yee-haw! Guns and jeebus.

   Based on some of the right wing nuttery posted on this blog I would agree with “terps.”

   I’m not picking on terps, he’s generally not nutty.

   #1 Well that settles that. We know that terps is never wrong.

   LMAO!!

   But actually, as we’ve vividly seen, terps’ children do have to be afraid of believing what their parents tell them about their heritage, as Massachusetts Senator-elect Elizabeth Warren did.

   Never been afraid of who I am and never will be. Scared to death of who other people are quite often.

   Sandi, I, too, am very comfortable with my view of things. Came across this quote and thought it relevant:

   “Democrats work to help people who need help; that other party works to help people who don’t need help.” Harry S. Truman

   Truman is one of my favorite Presidents. Doesn’t appear that much has changed; this is perhaps what Truman might say about the current budget impasse … or something more colorful!

    hey nosag,

    here’s another one for ya, “And so my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you. Ask, what can you do for your country.”

    -John F. Kennedy, Inaugural Address, 1961.
11. Frank | December 5, 2012 at 10:19 pm

    hey nosaj, sorry about my carelessness with the “g”.
12. pistol pete | December 6, 2012 at 8:07 am

    Is this title some reference to Barney Frank coming out of the closet?
13. Nosaj | December 6, 2012 at 1:17 pm

    Frank, JFK’s quote is timeless – as relevant now as when he said it in 1961.
14. Kristen | December 6, 2012 at 2:24 pm

    Never a bad moment for an unwitty and irrelevant comment about homosexuality, huh pp.
15. Sandi Saunders | December 6, 2012 at 2:42 pm

    Truman was right, thanks for the quote Nosaj!

    Frank, what is it you think you do for your country, that we do not?
16. Frank | December 6, 2012 at 9:27 pm

    yes, I agree with you, nosaj.

    and sandi, gee… i thought nosaj and I were just exchanging old quotes that we thought are appropriate for today, and, well, you just had to go and get all adversarial and personal about it. sheesh.
17. Sandi Saunders | December 6, 2012 at 9:38 pm

    Yes, that is just reactionary me, beating up on poor innocent Frank. I am just meaner than a striped snake.
18. Frank | December 6, 2012 at 10:50 pm

    hey sandi,

    yes, you are quite the reactionary. and, nawww…you don’t bring to mind anything close to the image of a striped snake….
