Bleeding Heart Liberal?
Liberalism is an ideology, philosophy, and political tradition that holds liberty as the primary political value.[1] Broadly speaking, liberalism seeks a society characterized by freedom of thought for individuals, limitations on power, especially of government and religion, the rule of law, the free exchange of ideas, a market economy that supports relatively free private enterprise, and a transparent system of government in which the rights of minorities are guaranteed. In modern society, liberals favour a liberal democracy with open and fair elections, where all citizens have equal rights by law and an equal opportunity to succeed[2]. Liberalism rejected many foundational assumptions which dominated most earlier theories of government, such as the Divine Right of Kings, hereditary status, and established religion. Fundamental human rights that all liberals support include the right to life, liberty, and property. In many countries, "modern" liberalism differs from classical liberalism by asserting that government provision of some minimal level of material well-being takes priority over freedom from taxation. Liberalism has its roots in the Western Enlightenment, but the term now encompasses a diversity of political thought, with adherents spanning a large part of the political spectrum, from left to right. In the context of economics, the term "liberalism" refers to economic liberalism, which is associated with the political ideology of liberalism itself.
Reply:Higher education and living together in the north before marriage tends to lower the rate...Christians must marry..thus not knowing if it will work out..
Reply:When you only have 6 people in the entire state who are married, it's tough to have a lot of divorces.





Yeah answerman - if we look at the people who founded this country they were real liberal right -





Work or starve - that's not a liberal idea.


Fight or live in tyranny - that's not a liberal idea





Hitler was trying to change a lot of things - so with your typically simplistic definition, he was a liberal right?





Man that was easy and I haven't even had my coffee yet.
Reply:yes. thank you for that educational little tidbit.
Reply:Isn't that obvious?





I think we should LEGALIZE GAYS LIVING TOGETHER and MAKE ABORTION LEGAL on a WHIM...





That way in 2 generations... the problem would take care of itself.





THEN we could change back to being "GOOD HUMAN BEINGS"
Reply:You kind of answer yer' own question...LOL
Reply:That's a good question. Maybe it's the idea that love, not beating people over the head with the proverbial brick, has a better shot at keeping a relationship strong?
Reply:IF you look at surveys, you will find that Liberal leaning states have lower divorce rates in general. I think it is because of the hypocritical nature of religion and real life. The southern states especially have traditionally less emphasis on education and more on theology, and more people get married at a younger age, hence they are less mature and more likely to get divorced.
