| The American Liberal
Creed Liberals recognize the value and rights of all people; Liberals recognize that we share the world with others; Liberals support the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights and champion their equal application to all citizens; Liberals champion knowledge above ignorance, learning above dogma; Liberals recognize that the concept of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness is futile without education, healthcare and employment; Liberals recognize that government of the people, by the people, and for the people is for the service and protection of all, regardless of economic status; Liberals recognize that public works and institutions serve the public interest, and taxes support those works and institutions; Liberals recognize that "every person for themselves" leads not to a diverse, enlightened and viable society, but only to jungle-like "survival of the fittest"; Liberals recognize that an individual, not government, controls their own body; Liberals recognize that neither government nor commerce is suitable to meet all of our nation's challenges, that there is a place for both; Liberals propagate this message, defend it, and vote for and support those who do. © Warren Brown 2003 And I would add Liberals care more about the community than the corporation, they care more about taking care of people and less about 'making profits,' PEOPLE ABOVE PROFITS! |

| The so-called Liberal Media are owned by large Conservative corporations that dictate control over biased news reporting in major newspapers and on major television networks. The media are conservative just like their owners and sponsors. You're getting the "News" the way that they want you to see it. | |
