They'll try 'converting' them to Christianity first !
Homer said:Or more likely to the Pseudo Christianity which is what passes for the real
thing in the US nowadays.
Good Lord you're dim.
Nah, he's bright enough, it's just that he's got his knickers
in a perpetual bunch.
In the "Who Really Cares" book
there's a pair of USA maps. One shows
the states where people are most generous, in terms of charity, blood
donations, volunteerism, that sort of thing. The other map is the
states that voted for Kerry. They are almost exact complements.

Wrong as usual.
"There is no progress without liberals".
"There is no progress without liberals".
True, if you define "conservative" as "resisting change," but wrong
for conservative in the sense of "conserving [a resource]," or in the
sense of "prudent judgement," "allowing a margin of safety," or
"fiscally responsible."
The political parties' euphemisms don't mean much--some of the most
intolerant people I know these days call themselves "liberals."
"Liberal" mostly means "socialist" in the US, and conservatives are
leaning that way too.

Liberals are driven by hope.
Reactionaries are driven by fear.
Interesting. I'd have said it differently.
"Liberals" seem afraid of things they don't understand.
Conservatives seem oblivious to them.
Best,

Liberal/conservative is often a silly smokescreen. I think a better,
in the sense of more useful, way to separate people is by their levels
of fear and courage (or oblivion to fear, if you prefer.) But I'm sure
that liberal:conservative correlates to afraid:unafraid.
Conservatives, and especially religious conservatives, tend strongly
to be generous, civil, social, and civic-minded (those are statistical
facts) and less driven by fear (my opinion.)
I know for sure that chickens make rotten electronics designers, and
that, in business or personal matters, it's unwise to trust a coward.

liberal:conservative <=> cowardice:courage
Yet liberals tend to be the bullies... enforcing their thoughts as if
their's are the only truth... freedom of speech for liberals only.
I mistrust the extreme right-wing "religious". I think they are every
bit as trouble-making as Islamic terrorists.
But chickens make good liberals ;-)

OK, now I understand that your term "liberal weenie" isn't meant to be
an insult, it's merely a demographic.
