America is a Liberal Nation????

From Daily Kos. I would be interested to read your thoughts.


So, we've heard how awful liberal values are tonight from Mitt. Will Mike reiterate? Because Gallup says:

Americans are pro-choice (67 percent)

Americans support the Geneva Conventions with regards to torture (57 percent)

Americans don't want the government snooping in their bank and internet records (67 percent)

Americans support protecting the environment at the expense of economic growth (55 percent)

Americans believe that global warming is happening (86 percent)

Americans believe that it's the government's responsibility to provide health care (69 percent)

Americans support the decriminalization of marijuana (55 percent) and support the legalization of medical marijuana (78 percent)

Americans are opposed to attacking Iran (68 percent, according to a CNN Poll)

Americans support labor unions (60 percent)

Americans want government funding of embryonic stem cell research (56 percent)

Americans believe rich people and corporations aren't paying enough taxes (66 and 71 percent respectively)

Liberal enough for ya?

Americans are more liberal than they think. Unfortunately, liberal is a dirty word nowadays. The Republicans have done a good job of making it sound like a liberal is a socialist in disguise.

I am just afraid that it will take a long time for America to wake up and realize that the Republicans are systematically taking our rights away, not the Democrats.
