Some quotes about Liberals
(basskisser) wrote in message om...
Below are some quotes by some very bright people about liberalism.
Liberalism is, I think, resurgent. One reason is that more and more
people are so painfully aware of the alternative. The modern
conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral
philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for
selfishness. John Kenneth Galbraith
As mankind becomes more liberal, they will be more apt to allow that
all those who conduct themselves as worthy members of the community
are equally entitled to the protections of civil government. I hope
ever to see America among the foremost nations of justice and
liberality. George Washington
Of all the varieties of virtues, liberalism is the most beloved.
Aristotle
Liberalism is trust of the people, tempered by prudence; conservatism,
distrust of the people, tempered by fear. William Gladstone
Government is a contrivance of human wisdom to provide for human
wants. People have the right to expect that these wants will be
provided for by this wisdom. Jimmy Carter
Liberalism is the supreme form of generosity; it is the right by which
the majority concedes to minorities and hence it is the noblest cry
that has ever resounded on this planet. Jose Ortega y Gasset
A liberal is a man or a woman or a child who looks forward to a better
day, a more tranquil night, and a bright, infinite future. Leonard
Bernstein
Conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are
conservatives. John Stuart Mill
You forgot a few, but is this really worth it? There, as usual is
nothing really to debate here except some folks say stuff you don't
like. Take back the group, there is nothing to discuss here, if noone
challenges him here, it dies, well except for the usual high fives...
BTW, I did not even read your post past the first line. Why bother, it
is only peoples opinions and rants... useless as your post.
