What types of things would make someone have a "bleeding heart" in your opinion? Is it possible for there to be "bleeding heart conservatives".
What constitutes a "bleeding heart"?
A dagger through the chest.
A bleeding heart is anyone who wants to save everyone with little realistic thought into the process actually needed to get there (and instead just uses taxpayer dollars).
Reply:I suppose it would be someone who wants to help a person, who has the ablitlity to help themselves but isn't, and wants to use other people's money to do it.
Reply:Any semblance of morality, empathy, rationality, or understanding
Reply:Generally, the term is used to describe liberals. It means being driven by emotion rather than logic.
There are many bleeding heart conservatives and we give great amounts of money to charitable organizations, because we do not believe it is the role of government.
Reply:Here's one example from me: People who don't think Welfare recipients should be drug tested.

Bleeding heart, i need advise?
i broke up with my ex a month and a half ago. everything was goin great between us up until our first ann. (dating) the reason why we broke up was b/c he thought that we have nothing in common. i really dont get why he was thinking this way since i've made a lot of changes to fit him. i started to listen to his type of music, he got me into the stuff he likes and i was speaking like him too. he'd also ditched me 3 times in a row so he could spend more time on his own car. the 3rd time we got into a fight and decided that we're just not meant to be.
well anyways, my questions for you all are..
... i dont get it, i've made so many changes for him and why isn't he willing to do the same for me?
... i know i should be over with him, but i just cant stop thinking about him, what should i do??
i need serious help to heal this bleeding heart
Bleeding heart, i need advise?
This is what got you in trouble: he'd also ditched me 3 times in a row so he could spend more time on his own car.
You gave yourself no value. You allow him to underestimate you for his car!
i started to listen to his type of music, he got me into the stuff he likes and i was speaking like him too", You gave up your true self to become like him, it shows you are weak on whom you are and you are desperate.
If you really want to know why he left you, you must realize first that you were not true to yourself, you gave no value to yourself therefore he has no value or love for you. And lets assume you gave him your body, see if next time you want to do things the right way.
It is a hard lesson but no one will tell you what I told you. If you want to hear "he doesn't deserve you" it is because you are not read to grow up.
Reply:I'm sorry to hear about this. I've been with someone over a year, and it was painful at first. You should spend more time with yourself, friends, family, and hobbies. You should stay single instead of going to men to men. You'll become a stronger person and have a sharper sense of yourself and the next guy you'll chose.
Reply:First of all, he sounds like a jerk. Second of all, you shouldn't change yourself for a guy... what happens when you meet somebody else? Are you going to change your interests for him too?
If the relationship is going to work, you're going to have to retain your own identity and not try to change yourself!
Try to find somebody else who won't ditch you.
Reply:O.K. rule number 1 - never change yourself to make a man happy. A man has to accept you the way you are. You were just too immature this time around - next time you will be confident and sure of yourself - chalk it down to experience.
Reply:I'm sorry to hear you're hurting so much:( anyway...true love should be unconditional: so none of the two should try to change the other one, if u really love someone , you just take them as they are...given what u have just explained, I think he's probably right: you're too different from each other, and no matter how you'll try to change, you'll always be too different from him...so you were probably not meant to be...
Just remember one thing: if you love someone set them free, if they'll come back to you, it means they were always yours, if they won't come back to you, it means they never were/would ,have been...Time will tell;
Reply:You should never change yourself to accomodate someone else. And seeing as though you already did make those sacrifices obviously its going to hurt a little more knowing that he wouldnt do the same for you, but thats when you realize that you deserve better. You need someone that you can be yourself with and he'll love everything about you. Wouldnt you be so much happier if things were that way? I think so..
Don't dwell on the situation or waste energy trying to complete unfinished business. It's time to let go of your past if it isn't serving you well..

Is Jesus a Bleeding Heart Liberal?
I am proud to be called a Liberal but am wondering about the 'bleeding heart' part because I believe in the word of Jesus 110%.
I have been a Christian since childhood and Christianity taught me to be compassionate to the poor, to give rather than to take, greed comes before a fall, and being humble is being as Jesus.
I could go on and on but I don't want this to be a preaching post.
NEOCONs would like to believe that liberals are weak. I am a gulf war I veteran and will stand up and fight for rights, even for a NEOCON's rights.
Oh wait, I get it - that makes me a bleeding-heart because I CARE and believe in the word of Jesus to protect the hungry, the weak.
Is Jesus a Bleeding Heart Liberal?
Yes but being a 'bleeding heart liberal' is a good thing. Neocons just have no clue about what Christianity really is.
Reply:Neocon is a big word for a small minded liberal. Report It
Reply:He also was an arch conservative-a monoarchist even and a supporter of the commandments. A total radical hippy -leave your job and follow me. A middle roader-give to Washington what belongs to Washington. Like anybody Jesus just does not fit into labels well. Unlike most He transends them and can empower us to do so as well.

Bleeding Heart Liberal WHY!!!!!?
As I look back at myself I was a conservative now that I’m on my way to get my PHD in med; I find myself to be more open minded and more like a “ Bleeding Heart Liberal” can someone tell me what is going on with me?
Bleeding Heart Liberal WHY!!!!!?
What's wrong with having a heart? This nation used to be a compassionate, caring world leader. Now George Bush has turned the USA into an 'evil empire' that no one trusts.
Reply:A change in ideals is not a bad thing. Personally, I'm a conservative.. but more power to your evolution! Ask any radio-pundit, and they'll blame the colleges you attended. Some will tell you, "You're now an enlightened thinker!". Some of us reach that point where the answers we seek aren't found in the ideals of the political spectrum we once called home.

Liberalism is about making the easy, feel good choice.
Reply:Just a bad phase. You'll grow out of it.
Reply:It sounds like you're growing a heart! Don't fight it. Embrace it.
Reply:Because you've spent too much time in the shelter of academe surrounded by some of the most virulently leftist people in America. And this has affected you. Also, by not being conservative, you can actually seek a professorship position and get tenure at a university.
Also, in the university setting, you are far away from the realities of life, and closer to the theories, especially bad theories that never work in reality. Like socialism, collectivism, marxism. Like socialized medicine. Like Keynesian economics. Like diversity. Like affirmative action. Like class envy taxation. Like welfare.

Bleeding Heart Liberal?
Why is it that a Bleeding Heart Liberal state like Massachusetts that have Gay rights have the lowest Divorce rate in the US, you would think that a Conservative states that talk about Jesus Christ and G.W Bush would have the lowest, why is that?

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.

Bleeding heart hanging plant question?
My husband bought me this huge bleeding heart hanging basket for Mothers day, since then, the inner leaves are turning yellow, the buds fall off before they bloom. I water it when it needs it. Its gets the first sun, until about 2pm. I really dont know what Im doing wrong here. Its still pretty, just not as thick as it was!
Bleeding heart hanging plant question?
We talked it over and we have never heard of someone using a bleeding heart in a hanging basket(but it's possible) Check a plant book, or some on line research, we think you may have a Fushia. Reguardless, both plants desire shade most of the day. Bleeding hearts are perrinial and this time of year even my best ones start to fade a little, It's their nature. Bleeding hearts should be planted in the ground in a cool shady spot and require very little attention. Fushia's are annuals, commonly seen in hanging baskets, they dont like to much sun and watering wont help. I sure hope I havent made your ? tougher.
Reply:Alot of people over water them,try feeding them alittle plant food and move it to indirect sunlight
anouther problem could be is the roots are over taking the pot,so might need to be transplanted to abigger pot....
Reply:I think you might have a fuscia, if so it requires mostly shade

Serpae tetra attacking my Bleeding Heart Tetras?
I have one serpae and three Bleeding heart tetras. Of coarse I believe my serpae is attacking the bleeding hearts. I have two questions.. One of my Bleeding hearts looks like it has a milky white layer of I don't know what over one of it's eyes.. and this is the one that has most of it's back fin nipped off. Does this eye film have anything to do with the fin nipping, or does it have another disease?
Secondly, if I take the serpae out, will the nipped back fins of all of them (some are more nipped than others), grow back? If they can, what do i need to do other than pich the serpae?
Thanks!
Serpae tetra attacking my Bleeding Heart Tetras?
The milky layer over the fishes eye would not be directly related to the fin nipping. If it is on the eye and only on the eye, it's most likely a bacterial infection that will require treatment. Personally I would suggest using a true antibiotic such as Maracyn or Maracyn 2.
If the spot covers the eye and some surrounding area or skin, then you are most likely dealing with a protozoan infestation. This should be treated with a good parasite medication such as Clout or Maracide.
As for the nipped fins, yes they will grow back once the nipping stops. Just keep the water clean and the fish well fed and watch for any fungus that sometimes takes advantage of injuries.
Yes, to stop the nipping you will have to find a new home for the serpae.

Reply:How big is your tank?
Most tetras are schooling fish and should be kept in groups. Keeping them isolated from their own species leads to anxiety in the form of hiding in smaller tetras and aggressiveness in bigger ones. Serpae are known to be very nippy. Your fish would be much better off if you rehomed the lone serpae and got more bleeding hearts. But don't overstock.
Milky eyes are usually bacterial, but I wouldn't medicate, personally. Lowering stress by removing the serpae, and keeping the water as clean as you can by doing partial changes anytime the nitrates are above 12.5 mg/l is the best medicine for your fish right now.
Good luck.
Reply:You're probably right about the serpae. They are one of the more aggressive tetras, liking to nip fins and should be kept with
Blind Cave, Buenos Aires, Colombian and/or Silvert Tip tetras. The Bleeding Heart is a very sensitive tetra and with the nipped fins, and stress from the nipping, could develop secondary infections. The fins should grow back. There is a medication called Melafix which can promote healing and help stave off bacterial infections.
Reply:my fish had that same thing over his eye it just took about 1 month for it to go away and now its fine. about the fins take the serpaes out a the fins will eventually grow back
Reply:Two great answers Serpae Tetra are best kept in groups. Since you only have one its defending the territory normally kept by the schooling group. Now the fin nipping can be due to the illness the other fish has, fish can sense sick fish and usually don't want them in their territory. The Mela-fix is an excellent choice to help with the eye infection. Check your Nitrates this can be the cause of the eye infection. Usually things like infections start from high nitrates which causes stress and/or fish attacks which causes the same stress. Buy more Serpae Tetras and treat your tank.
Reply:All fins grow back thats not a problem but its that milky white layer im thinking of. Is it on the eye or around it or what. is it like little white dots
if its white dots you have ich
if its on the eye you might have a bacterial infection. is the eye popping out if so you have pop eye
whatever you do and however you treat your tetras remember they are delicate and you must apply half the recommended dosage of medicine
