Posted by Maureen Donohue on March 7, 2005, 8:45 pm, in reply to "Why liberalism is a mental disorder" First of all, since I am currently on SSI as a result of being doctor abused for years, on Medicare and AARP and paying about $260 per month for my health care, I cannot afford prescription coverage. I order my drugs from Canada and they are made by good old greedy American companies (luckily I have my 401K - have no pension -- good old corporate trust took that away years ago -- invested in these greedy M..F's. Now this does bother my conscience sometimes but I said I was a Liberal not an idiot -- otherwise I wouldn't even be able to afford the 40% cheaper Canada drugs!!!) Second of all, who the hell said Kerry was a Liberal? I certainly agree with you about the Israeli situation, and have expressed my opinions to my beloved Jewish in-laws. If you want to hear a Liberal viewpoint on the Middle East tune in to Democracy Now with Amy Goodman (you can get it on the Internet). I think you have missed the point of what we Liberals have been saying -- that the Democrats are so busy trying not to offend anyone and being Republicrats that there is no real Liberal viewpoint or choice out there anymore. Just pray very hard that you don't lose your job or get sick in this good old Republican America (and I do love my country -- I just want it to be a better one -- the one I wanted when I was your age and already a Liberal to my conservative mother's horror. And being Liberal at that age did not include drugs, free sex and no work. It meant respect for all, basic needs for for all -- health, housing, legal right etc. -- and free speech no matter whether I agreed or not.) Research a little harder before you make up your mind.

Since I am sixty and you are only 18 years old I will try to forgive your ignorance.
