Top Five Reasons to Be a Liberal
Five reasons that being a liberal makes sense
- Liberals do it more freely - supporting freedom isn't just a nice thing to do in theory, it allows us all to live more as we would like to live.
- Liberals have more edge - the establishment elites are all right wingers these days. Running with the right wing crowd means giving up your mojo.
- The liberals were right - we were right about the wars, right about civil liberties, right about global warming. Surely that counts for something.
- Anyone can be a liberal - whereas right wingers condemn huge numbers of people as sinners, or "the wrong sort", liberals are willing to accept a diverse range of people - so long as they're willing to accept others too.
- Liberals are long-lasting - right wingers have to invent new truths every 12 months or so, because they're planning for the short term and making a mess of every plan they put into place. Liberals value sustainability, and plan for future generations as well as for what's happening right now.

Replacing the Pledge of Allegiance with a more democratic pledge
Take the Pledge of Liberty
You know how the Pledge goes, of course: I Pledge Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Oops, I forgot the under God part, didn't I? That under God part of the pledge seems to have divided the very thing that the pledge claims is indivisible. It's taken away our liberty too, as in freedom of religion, made part of the very first amendment to the Constitution through the passage of the Bill of Rights. Liberty also took a major blow when supporters of the Pledge of Allegiance pushed for laws like the Patriot Act and Military Commissions Act, when they urged that the President of the United States be allowed to rule us all from a position above the law. The government spied on political dissidents, and started conducting plainly unreasonable searches and seizures of American citizens' private property and papers. As for justice for all, well, the right wing nationalists who insist that everyone say their version of the pledge of allegiance certainly didn't care much about justice for all when they passed a law declaring that the President of the United States does not have to give justice to anyone he deems to be an enemy, taking away habeas corpus, and replacing just American courts with a system of kangaroo courts that would have made Stalin, Mussolini and Hitler proud. Still, what's a little liberty, and justice, when there's a flag to follow, right? Not much, in those that value the pledge of allegiance. Forget the pledge of Allegiance. America can do better. In these dark days, America needs a new pledge, a pledge of liberty. I pledge that I will do what is in my power to ensure that there will be liberty and justice for all.

America's Traditional Liberal Values
America's best moral values have always been liberal values
America's traditional values, dating back to our nation's founding, are respect for liberty, democracy, progress, community, fairness, responsibility, human rights, equality, conservation, diversity, and compassion. The path of American history has been toward the more complete embodiment of these values. Liberals have been on the right side of American history. Now is no time to allow Republicans and right wing Democrats to turn back the clock.Talk is cheap. Evaluate our values by what we do. Who is working to defend people from torture? Liberals are. Who is working against war? Liberals are. Who is struggling for equal rights? Liberals are. Who is championing more fairness for working Americans? Liberals are. Who is defending the integrity of education? Liberals are. Who is organizing to protect voting rights? Liberals are. Who is rallying around the Bill of Rights? Liberals are. Who is speaking out against wasteful government spending? Liberals are. Who is seeking ways to promote healthy, sustainable communities? Liberals are. Who is working for the restoration of a clean environment? Liberals are. Who is moving America's values forward into the future?
Traditional liberal values are at the heart of what's best about America. The best way to defend America is to support liberal values.

Bring Back the Dark Ages. Vote Republican
Republican ideology is downright medieval
Bring Back the Dark Ages. Vote Republican
Stop and think historically for just a minute and you'll see the clear connections between the right wing's ideology and the way of life that predominated in the Dark Ages. The Republican agenda is essentially motivated by a medieval way of thinking, and the consequences we suffer are like the suffering of the Dark Ages. War. Ignorance. Lack of progress. Persecution. Torture. Inability to fight disease. Lack of preparation for disaster. Fear. Centralized power. Theocracy. Line up the world that the Republicans threaten to bring us alongside the Dark Ages, and they match with frightening accuracy. America has been given a choice with implications that are deadly clear: Bring Back the Dark Ages. Vote Republican.
