You Might Be A Liberal

This is one of those things that go around via e-mail:

If you believe that women who stay at home to raise their children are repressed by a male-dominated society, but that women who wear hijabs are expressing freedom of religion - you might be a liberal.

If you quote the John Howard Society on the ineffectiveness of incarceration, and MADD on the effectiveness of drunk driving zero tolerance - you might be a liberal.

If you believe it should be illegal to smoke in your vehicle, but support legalized marijuana - you might be a liberal.

If you believe that a “woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle,” ut claim to love your sons as much as your daughters - you might be a liberal.

If you believe it is American hubris to believe they can bring democracy to the Middle East - but America’s shame for not reversing climate change - you might be a liberal.

If you reject absolute moral concepts like “right” and “wrong,” but believe George W. Bush is “evil” - you might be a liberal.

If you’re still waiting for the epidemic in AIDS cases among heterosexual women in America - you might be a Liberal.

If you’re an “advocate” for the poor who uses “trailer trash” as an insult - you might be a Liberal.

If you believe in evolution, but hold that all cultures are equal - you might be a liberal.
