definations
rhonda and i went to a hillary clinton function this evening here in our neighborhood and met some interesting people from her campaign. they made some very interesting and valid points about why she would be an excellent canidate. rhonda and i are still undecided but the women there made a good case for senator clinton.
during the conversation, one woman said that she wished we could get rid of the labels of conservative and liberal because the catagorize people which lead me to thinking of just how the republican attack machine even changes the meanings of words. so let me give you some food for thought:
ROGET'S THESAURUS DEFINITIONS:
LIBERAL: .... generous, abundant, lavish, broadminded, tolerant, enlightened, charitable, free.
antonym:
CONSERVATIVE:...stingy, miserly, reactionary, regressive, bigoted, prejudiced, biased, narrow-minded, strict.
so, in reading these which would you consider yourself? which one would you wish other people to see you as? which ones would be the qualities that you would like to see in our next president?
just curious.

I consider myself broadminded, tolerant, enlightened and somewhat free (although I think we are talking different definitions of free here).
A leader should have the same traits. They can also be generous, abundant, lavish and charitable with their own money. The problem is when they want to be all those things with someone else's money.
