If by a “Liberal” you mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people — their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties — someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a “Liberal,” then I’m proud to say I’m a “Liberal".

The Liberal Approach

As you can probably already see, the name of this very first blog post is also the name of "the blog" itself. The reason for this is that I want to clearly state what this blog, and future blog posts will say. Being a very liberal Democrat, it is my opinion, that the "Liberal Approach" is the best way to lead this country to greater heights. The liberal philosophy is one of open-mindedness and one that believes the right kind of change in this country should come in the form of liberal ideas and policies. As a matter of fact, that is the only way this country will improve. On that note, let me give a list of various topics that will be discussed from a liberal viewpoint and will certainly get under the skin of the many right wing conservatives in this country.

  • Everything from abortion to gay rights to the closing of Guantanamo Bay
  • Liberal and Conservative politicians making headlines
  • President-elect Obama's transition and term in office
  • Anything laughable from Fixed(I mean Fox..) News
  • AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN!

As a liberal who holds very strong views and who is well-informed, I welcome any challengers. If you do not like my opinion on a certain subject, reply, and I'll gladly sit here and have a nice bipartisan debate with you.

Note: Don't be afraid to speak your mind. I am a firm believer in the First Amendment, the right to free speech. As long as it is polite and respectful and doesn't offend other viewers, feel free to say what you want to say.
